Sinopsis

Moy (media and cultural studies, Liverpool John Moores U., England) traces the historical development of several mass media, emphasizing the 20th century. He argues that the present marginalization of the single-sense sound text has a long lineage and is connected with huge technological and cultural shifts. Citing Gramsci, he argues that the marginalization of sound has been hegemonic and that mass culture has adopted an increasingly multi-media based world view, persuaded in part by both benign and interested agencies of patriarchy and bourgeois capital.

Reseña del editor

This study traces the process of specularization, whereby the hegemonies of state, church, patriarchy and the mass media have attempted to marginalize the role of sound in contemporary society. It contributes to an inter-disciplinary understanding of sound's unique characteristics.
