One of the most important texts of modern times, Herbert Marcuse's analysis and image of a one-dimensional man in a one-dimensional society has shaped many young radicals' way of seeing and experiencing life. Published in 1964, it fast became an ideological bible for the emergent New Left. As Douglas Kellner notes in his introduction, Marcuse's greatest work was a 'damning indictment of contemporary Western societies, capitalist and communist.' Yet it also expressed the hopes of a radical philosopher that human freedom and happiness could be greatly expanded beyond the regimented thought and behaviour prevalent in established society. For those who held the reigns of power Marcuse's call to arms threatened civilization to its very core. For many others however, it represented a freedom hitherto unimaginable.

In works whose subjects range from the religious to the carnal, the whimsical to the foreboding, Jennifer Maier's debut collection of poems, Dark Alphabet, explores the everyday mysteries of our common experience with humor, lucidity, and an unblinking yet compassionate eye. Whether occasioned by a song overheard on the car radio, a packet of risqué postcards from the 1920's, a conversation with a dead parent, or the behavior of ducks in mating season, each poem sets off on a journey that ranges far from its origins, arriving with the reader in a clearing at dusk

Im Zentrum des Bandes steht die Frage nach der Rolle des Hörens in modernen Wissenskulturen. Lange galt die Moderne als primär visuelles Zeitalter. Die Sound Studies haben in den letzten Jahren jedoch in vielfacher Hinsicht gezeigt, dass auch dem Hören zentrale Bedeutung in der Moderne zukommt. Der Schwerpunkt lag dabei jedoch zumeist auf den kulturellen Variationsformen des Hörens und zeitlich auf dem 20. und frühen 21. Jahrhundert. Demgegenüber verlängert dieser Band die historische Perspektive bis zurück in die Frühe Neuzeit und legt den Schwerpunkt auf die Frage nach dem epistemischen Status des Hörens in der Moderne. Er folgt dabei einem weiten Wissensbegriff und untersucht 1) welche Arten von Wissen über das Hören sich historisch rekonstruieren lassen und 2) welche Funktionen das Hören selbst im Prozess der Wissensproduktion und -kommunikation hatte, welche Formen des auditiven Wissens sich also innerhalb der Wissenschaften, der darstellenden Künste, der Musik, der Literatur und der Politik beschreiben lassen. Dadurch trägt der Band zur Historisierung von zentralen Begriffen und Annahmen der Sound Studies bei und problematisiert die Hypothese einer Hegemonie des Visuellen in der Moderne. This interdisciplinary volume examines the epistemic status of listening in modernity, presenting thirteen case studies on the scientific, aesthetic, musical, literary, and political "knowledge of listening". The studies contribute to the historicization of key terms and hypotheses in sound studies. They also question the notion of the hegemony of the visual in the epistemic history of modernity.
