We may notice that physicians use stethoscopes to listen for disease, that biologists tune into sound recordings to understand birds, or that engineers have created Geiger tellers warning us for radiation through sound. But in the sciences overall, we think, seeing is believing. This open access book explains why, indeed, listening for knowledge plays an ambiguous, if fascinating, role in the sciences. For what purposes have scientists, engineers and physicians listened to the objects of their interest? How did they listen exactly? And why has listening often been contested as a legitimate form of access to scientific knowledge? This concise monograph combines historical and ethnographic evidence about the practices of listening on shop floors, in laboratories, field stations, hospitals, and conference halls, between the 1920s and today. It shows how scientists have used sonic skills—skills required for making, recording, storing, retrieving, and listening to sound—in ensembles: sets of instruments and techniques | 出版日期 | Book‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘ 2019 | 关键词 | Open Access; Sonic Skills; Listening for Knowledge; Sonic Signs; Modes of Listening; Epistemological Cont | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1057/978-1-137-59829-5 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-349-95920-4 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-137-59829-5 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2019 |
