Beschreibung:
This book is a project of listening. We are putting our ears to the wall, the ground, and the very edges of discursive spaces to listen in on conversations around sound, voice, and music. In particular, young scholars make their voices heard in this second volume of the JMU CULTURAL STUDIES series. The texts which connect and even converse with each other in this volume confront the fundamental realities of historical and contemporary auditory experience, while simultaneously inviting us into the writers’ own personal soundscapes and fields of interest. This conversation flows from the resonance of music across society to our listening practices, to modes of performing, to expressions of gender, and it concludes with the increasing digitalization of sound.

Maria Denzlein holds a Bachelor of Arts in English and German Studies from Julius-Maximilians-Universität (JMU) Würzburg and is currently in the process of concluding her Master in English-Speaking Cultures at the same university with a thesis that explores contemporary British musical theatre. She has also worked as a Peer Instructor, accompanying the introductory lectures in British and American Studies at JMU. Her main research interests include the digital media landscape, queer studies, and historical as well as contemporary writing cultures. Her particular passion is the study of transformative works, participatory cultures, and online fandom, which come together in her Bachelor thesis on Tumblr and (mis)information in fandom cultures as well as in her contributions to the ongoing project Mobile Feminisms: Gender, Social Media, Transnational Connections, a cooperation between JMU and Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) University, New Delhi.

Sophie Schönfeld holds a Bachelor of Arts in English and Special Needs Education and is a student in the Masters programme English-Speaking Cultures at Julius-Maximilians-Universität (JMU) Würzburg. She has worked as a Peer Instructor in British Cultural Studies at JMU in addition to coordinating the Cultural Studies Colloquium. She is currently a Student Research Assistant at the Chair of English Literature and British Cultural Studies. Her research interests are predominantly historical, which has, among other things, prompted her participation in a multi-volume series on the life of Alexandra Feodorovna Romanova by author George Hawkins. She has a special interest in antique photographs that forms the base for her current thesis project on cartes de visite. Further interests include new religious movements and disability studies. Her analysis of “Western Constructions of Disability and Local Systems of Knowledge. A Look at the Problematic Aspects of Intercultural Work” was published in Global Cultural Studies? Engaged Scholarship between National and Transnational Frames (edited by Tobias Jetter, Würzburg: Würzburg University Press, 2023).
