ABSTRACT This paper explores the notion of infrapolitics as the political dimension of reverberation and architectural acoustics. This aim is approached through a media-archaeological counterreading of the history of poor acoustics in the former chamber of the US House of Representatives supplied by historian Emily Thompson, as well as through juxtaposition of other cases of reverberation envelopes from the history of architectural acoustics. A media archaeological approach to reverberation and architectural acoustics, it is argued, approaches infrapolitics as a speculative understanding of the effect of architectural acoustics on early American democracy, and of architectural acoustics on discourse in general.

Sound Studies, might well wish for more elaboration in this direction since what is often missing in the discussion of music in Sensory Studies more generally is the specific connection of ideas about music to particular musical extracts analysed by a knowledgeable musician. It is hoped that she will expand this discussion elsewhere. The volume also benefits from wonderful illustrations courtesy of institutions like the Newberry, Huntington, and Folger Shakespeare libraries, among others.

Counterpublics (2005) analyzes the kinds of communities brought into existence by the circulation of texts. This scholarship theorises human subjects as active agents in alleviating the intermittent dissatisfaction with scenes and publics. Coupled with Music as Atmosphere at its best, these earlier discussions provide an excellent model for taking vague phenomena and twisting them towards concrete, politically progressive ends.

ABSTRACT This paper explores sound at the intersection between urban environments and conflict, specifically extracted from a particular case of aerial bombardment that occurred during the 2006 war on Lebanon. To formulate an argument on the long-lasting and traumatic sonic repercussions during military operations; sound studies and architectural environments would coalesce to unearth the unseen, yet extremely sensed assaults during this war. Here, I look at Reverberations as the product of both sound and the built surrounding, where it operates as a method to read the subtle, extended yet affective impacts of contemporary military conflict. I therefore argue that the initial impact’s sound is rather bypassed, and the auditory focus shifted on its tail as a sonic phenomenon that is amplified and channelled by the urban morphology. This research relies on multiple analytical, theoretical, and practical resources spanning from spectrograms to sonic mapping. Those means serve to illustrate the behaviour of sound during conflict in a compressed urban environment. Paired with its cognitive and visceral responses, this method offers greater accounts on the victims that weren’t directly targeted by aerial assaults.
