精讀②：聲音的政治可能性
Salomé Voegelin, The Political Possibility of Sound: Fragments of Listening (2018)
"I want to propose an 'echography' of the inaudible: the practice of silent voices in the space of breathing that opens politics to the possibility of the political. Listening on sound walks, to the everyday, in conversation, in the gallery and the concert hall, or to an MP3 player, or even just shout, talk and sing, are ways to pursue an 'echography' that resounds the how of power and actuality and makes their limits audible."
PSW 譯：「我想提出一種針對『不可聞』的『回聲書寫』（echography）：讓沉默的聲音在呼吸的空間裡實踐，藉此向政治打開通往政治可能性的門。無論是聲音散步中的聆聽、對日常的聆聽、對話中的聆聽、在畫廊與音樂廳中的聆聽，或聆聽一台 MP3 播放器，甚至只是喊叫、說話、歌唱：這些都是追求『回聲書寫』的方式，它讓權力與現實『如何運作』重新迴響，使其界限變得可聞。」
聲音本身帶有政治性，不是聲音「被拿去談政治」。下週精讀 Intro + Ch1。
