Sound and Sense in Contemporary Theatre: Mad Auralities by Dr. Matthew Tomkinson

Sound and Sense in Contemporary Theatre: Mad Auralities by Dr. Matthew Tomkinson was published by the University of Toronto Press in January 2025. You can purchase a copy here. Overview:
  • Addresses a need for more research combining sound and mad studies
  • Explores the theatrical relationship between sound and mental health differences
  • Makes an original contribution to the field by theorizing “mad aurality”
This book is among the first to consider the subject of mad auralities in theatre and performance, asking: what does it mean to hear and listen madly? Drawing widely upon mad studies, critical disability studies, theatre studies, sound studies, queer studies, and critical race theory, it seeks to explore the theatrical relationship between sound and mental health differences by examining a range of case studies in which audience members are immersed in auditory simulations of madness. Ultimately, however, this critical study investigates the shortcomings of simulation as a representational practice, in keeping with the critical tradition of disability studies and mad studies.

Taking Stock: Media Inventories in the German Nineteenth Century ed. by Sean Franzel, Ilinca Iurascu, Petra McGillen

The volume examines the proliferation of inventorying models and practices as cultural techniques of knowledge organization and production during the long nineteenth century. While inventories are still broadly treated as raw data and unprocessed source materials, the book shows how they function as complex media formats, intersecting and interfering with other material techniques to produce, store, distribute, organize and process cultural information. How do inventories work against and in dialogue with other media of collection, storage and retrieval such as catalogs, indexes, bibliographies, and archives; what new media configurations do techniques of inventorying enable and how, in turn, are such techniques shaped by the media channels and formats they employ; what is at stake in the critical effort of "taking stock", whether as commercial, bureaucratic, literary, historiographical, or scientific operations; finally, what do such operations tell us specifically about the production and circulation of knowledge in the German nineteenth century?
