The Sirenic: Follow the Water, Follow the Sound, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

"Follow the Water Follow the Sound" is a call and response. Far removed from the associations of seduction and fear that the siren --- both as mythological figure and alarm device --- has inspired, it is an invitation to another perceptual attunement to our environment. Offering an original perspective, the book imagines the "Sirenic" as a practice oriented towards emergent futures, fabulations of becoming and pedagogies of transformation.

The book engages with notions of singing, voicing and listening that reach into a sonic pluriverse. Through these notions, it provides the grounds for an expanded conception of cinema emerging through sound, music and performance.

Bringing together scholars, curators and artists from across disciplines, the book unfolds as a polyphonic publication. Echoing one another in multiple ways, the authors explore the mythologies and ecologies of water, the poetics and politics of voice, and the invocation of a communal spirit through film and other arts.
