Becoming Audible by Austin Mcquinn
Explores the phenomenon of human and animal acoustic entanglements in art and performance.“Becoming Audible provides a compelling array of contemporary artworks that explore animality alongside or at the limits of culture”
—Ron Broglio, author of Surface Encounters: Thinking with Animals and Art
“This book fills an important gap in the scholarly conversation. While there has been research on the animal turn in music and, separately, in performance, the intersections between these areas have rarely been addressed when it comes to animals as acoustic agents. An original contribution to the field of cultural animal studies.”
—Martin Ullrich, Nuremberg University of Music
“With its interest in in-betweenness, performance, and flux, Becoming Audible is an enlightening read for animal studies enthusiasts from a wide range of humanities backgrounds—literature, theatre, performance art, visual art, music—and indeed speaks to the extent to which the humanities disciplines are becoming part of one large posthuman conversation.”
—Annie Garlid Animal Studies
