      abstract = {An examination of the role of sound in twentieth-century  arts.This interdisciplinary history and theory of sound in  the arts reads the twentieth century by listening to it--to  the emphatic and exceptional sounds of modernism and those  on the cusp of postmodernism, recorded sound, noise,  silence, the fluid sounds of immersion and dripping, and  the meat voices of viruses, screams, and bestial cries.  Focusing on Europe in the first half of the century and the  United States in the postwar years, Douglas Kahn explores  aural activities in literature, music, visual arts,  theater, and film. Placing aurality at the center of the  history of the arts, he revisits key artistic questions,  listening to the sounds that drown out the politics and  poetics that generated them. Artists discussed include  Antonin Artaud, George Brecht, William Burroughs, John  Cage, Sergei Eisenstein, Fluxus, Allan Kaprow, Michael  McClure, Yoko Ono, Jackson Pollock, Luigi Russolo, and  Dziga Vertov.},
