Errant Bodies announces Audio-Issues: a book series dedicated to essays, meditations, and performance-texts on sound, auditory culture, and questions of sonological understanding. The series aims to provide a context for addressing contemporary viewpoints on "sound studies" by probing, defining, and listening in to the acoustical paradigm. With the advent of digital culture, network society, and mobile communications, the emergence of an auditory culture is increasingly prevalent as witnessed in the aesthetics of sound-art and electronic music, web-radio and live audio streaming, interactive and responsive systems. The prominence of such aesthetical shifts parallels an epistemological transformation from “seeing is believing” to a globe of voices: the digital age is marked by a re-emergence of oral culture from print culture; a displacement of fixed boundaries as witnessed in “liquid” architectures; and a radiophonic disruption of forms of representation, turning static graphics upon the page into animated expressions. Audio-Issues functions to engage such transformations by fostering new modes of thinking, writing, and intellectually performing the auditory.
