noise
Thanks to Richard Barrett for alerting me a few weeks ago to an upcoming conference at Salford University and Islington Mill on 1-3 July next year. It's called "Bigger than Words, Wider than Pictures": Noise, Affect, Politics, and it's described as '[seeking] to address the contemporary phenomenon of noise in all its dimensions: cultural, political, territorial, philosophical, physiological, subversive and military, and as anomalous to sound, speech, musicality and information.' More details can be found here.
If you'd like to participate you can send submissions up to the end of February. Send a 400 word abstract and biographical note to Michael Goddard, m.n.goddard@salford.ac.uk and Benjamin Halligan, b.halligan@salford.ac.uk. As well as conventional papers, noise, sound and video art proposals are also welcome.
I've been considering a submission myself and will probably work on ideas over the holiday period. But just in time to knock my confidence the latest print issue of Wire magazine reviews a forthcoming book from Steve Goodman (aka Kode9) to be published by MIT at £30 for the hardback.
It's called Sonic Warfare: Sound, Affect And The Ecology Of Fear. Details from MIT here, and Goodman's blog of the book here.
