Joseph Cummins

The 'Imagined Sound' of Australian Literature and Music

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

'Imagined Sound' is a unique cartography of the artistic, historical and political forces that have informed the post-World War II representation of Australian landscapes. It is the first book to formulate the unique methodology of 'imagined sound', a new way to read and listen to literature and music that moves beyond the dominance of the visual, the colonial mode of knowing, controlling and imagining Australian space.
