The Center for Cultural Analysis seeks a research assistant for the podcast that will accompany its second year focusing on sound studies for the seminar, “Resonance: Sound Across the Disciplines.” Sound Studies is an emerging interdisciplinary field that has drawn from musicology, ethnomusicology, performance studies, media studies, anthropology, gender studies, literary and cultural studies, ethnic and indigenous studies, religion, animal studies, classics, and philosophy. It has been especially hospitable to Black scholars and performers with expertise in orature and other vocal traditions.
Chaired by Professors Carter Mathes and Xiaojue Wang, the seminar will explore how resonance, as both an immaterial concept and an embodied experience, shapes our engagement with space and identity, and reverberates across the arts, literature, music, science, architecture, political life, and technology.
As part of the two-year seminar, the CCA has launched a podcast titled "The Seminar" that will become a sustained project of the seminar in years to come. Produced by CCA Postdoctoral Associate Nicholas Glastonbury, "The Seminar" podcast highlights the work of scholars, musicians, and artists who are theorizing and exploring music, sound, voice, and the limits and possibilities of resonance. Past guests have included scholars like Nina Sun Eidsheim, Ana Maria Ochoa Gaultier, and Daphne Brooks, as well as musicians like No-No Boy. For the upcoming year, we are looking to broaden our reach and increase frequency of podcast episodes.
