Historians have, until recently, been silent about sound. This collection of essays on talking and listening in the age of modernity brings together major Australian scholars who have followed Alain Corbin's injunction that historians 'can no longer afford to neglect materials pertaining to auditory perception'. Ranging from the sound of gunfire on the Australian gold-fields to Alfred Deakin's virile oratory, these essays argue for the influence of the auditory in forming individual and collective subjectivities; the place of speech in understanding individual and collective endeavours; the centrality of speech in marking and negating difference and in struggles for power; and the significance of the technologies of radio and film in forming modern cultural identities.

This book is a phenomenological approach to film sound and film as a whole, bringing all sensory impressions together within the body as a sense of movement. This includes embodied listening, felt sound and the audiovisual chord as a dynamic knot of visual and auditory movements. From this perspective, auditory spaces in film can be used as a pivot between an inner and an external world.

An integrated overview of hearing and the interplay of physical, biological, and psychological processes underlying it.Every time we listen--to speech, to music, to footsteps approaching or retreating--our auditory perception is the result of a long chain of diverse and intricate processes that unfold within the source of the sound itself, in the air, in our ears, and, most of all, in our brains. Hearing is an "everyday miracle" that, despite its staggering complexity, seems effortless. This book offers an integrated account of hearing in terms of the neural processes that take place in different parts of the auditory system.Because hearing results from the interplay of so many physical, biological, and psychological processes, the book pulls together the different aspects of hearing--including acoustics, the mathematics of signal processing, the physiology of the ear and central auditory pathways, psychoacoustics, speech, and music--into a coherent whole.

Les mystères de l'ouïe sont ici disséqués et analysés et devraient intéresser tous les spécialistes de notre appareil auditif. Comment entendons-nous ? La cochlée (ou limaçon) n'est-elle qu'un banal microphone ou s'agit-il d'un analyseur des sons qui nous agressent ? ou procède-t-elle différemment ? Par exemple sous la forme d'un convertisseur du signal acoustique en impulsions nerveuses sans décomposition préalable des sons ? Comment le message sonore est-il capté et codé avant d'être transmis au cerveau ? En quoi le numérique peut-il interférer dans ce mystérieux processus ? Jusqu'à ce jour a prévalué l'idée que l'oreille effectuait une analyse des sons complexes, comme sur un piano, mais ce postulat rencontre tellement d'objections qu'il est indispensable de concevoir un autre modèle. Les structures de l'oreille et la physiologie des fibres nerveuses sont pourtant particulièrement bien adaptées à l'analyse et à la transmission des informations sonores par l'intervention d'un échantillonnage des formes imprimées par les sons Les théories modernes de l'information et de la communication viennent fort heureusement à notre secours et éclairent d'un jour nouveau les multiples énigmes relevées dans les domaines de la psycho-acoustique, de la physiologie de l'audition et évidemment des troubles auditifs. Comment, par exemple, interpréter les dégâts provoqués par un traumatisme sonore, la survenue obsédante d'acouphènes, ou les difficultés rencontrées par la prothèse auditive ? Cet ouvrage, par son originalité, ne manquera certainement pas d'intéresser les professionnels de l'audition : acousticiens, O.R.L., audioprothésistes, orthophonistes, etc. et de près ou de loin, tous ceux qui se sentent concernés par la perception du monde sonore.
