Weird Horizons: Sound Research at the Sonic Brink N2 - This edited collection takes the prompt “hope in crisis” as a starting point for investigating sound research as it is situated in these troubling times. Bringing together thinkers from communication studies, art education, creative arts therapy, psychology, and philosophy, this book positions sound research as a question, one to which the authors respond through both material and conceptual experiments with sonic practices. Central to the project is the question of how to collectively and creatively engage with the increasingly difficult— even untenable—circumstances that have come to limit future possibilities, both within fields of research but also beyond, without falling back on the unquestioned assumption that hope alone will actualize a desired otherworld. The sound research gathered here experiments with such possibilities in order to grapple with how present conditions, including conditions for research, are always contingent—always already in trouble—and thus also subject to change both conceptually and materially. jessie beier (PhD) is a teacher, artist, researcher, philosopher, and conjurer of weird pedagogies for unthought futures.
