Summary:
Sound can be deployed to produce discomfort, express a threat, or create an ambience of fear or dread - to produce a bad vibe. Sonic weapons of this sort include the “psychoacoustic correction” aimed at Panama strongman Manuel Noriega by the U.S. Army and at the Branch Davidians in Waco by the FBI, sonic booms (or “sound bombs”) over the Gaza Strip, and high-frequency rat(...)

Summary:
Sound can be deployed to produce discomfort, express a threat, or create an ambience of fear or dread - to produce a bad vibe. Sonic weapons of this sort include the “psychoacoustic correction” aimed at Panama strongman Manuel Noriega by the U.S. Army and at the Branch Davidians in Waco by the FBI, sonic booms (or “sound bombs”) over the Gaza Strip, and high-frequency rat repellants used against teenagers in malls. At the same time, artists and musicians generate intense frequencies in the search for new aesthetic experiences and new ways of mobilizing bodies in rhythm. In Sonic Warfare, Steve Goodman explores these uses of acoustic force and how they affect populations. Traversing philosophy, science, fiction, aesthetics, and popular culture, he maps a (dis)continuum of vibrational force, encompassing police and military research into acoustic means of crowd control, the corporate deployment of sonic branding, and the intense sonic encounters of sound art and music culture. Goodman concludes with speculations on the not yet heard - the concept of unsound, which relates to both the peripheries of auditory perception and the unactualized nexus of rhythms and frequencies within audible bandwidths

Summary:
Dialogue entre Judith Butler et Athena Athanasiou : le débat tourne autour de ceux qui ont perdu leur pays, leur nationalité, leurs biens, tous ceux qui ont été expropriés de leur appartenance au monde. Que signifie cette précarité, cette perte fondamentale, dans une société capitaliste dominée par la logique de la possession ? Est-ce que cette conscience d’expropriation peut amener à une nouvelle forme de résistance, apporter une réponse politique à ceux qui ont été déchus de leurs droits, de leurs biens, en un mot, des conditions de base de la vie elle-même ? Les soulèvements révolutionnaires au Moyen-Orient et au Maghreb, comme les manifestations sur la place Puerta del Sol, la place Syntagma et le parc Zucotti établissent une nouvelle économie politique et affective du corps dans l’espace public. La rue est l’endroit par excellence des expropriés — de ceux qui défient les forces de police et qui se regroupent spontanément dans des collectifs pour lever la voix, pour être vus et entendus. Le livre offre une introduction à la complexité des nouvelles formes de privation de droits, de dépossession et de contestation politique. Une réflexion sur la puissance du perfomatif ainsi que sur la perte de pouvoir du sujet souverain et moral classique.

Summary:
After the economic disaster of the Great Leap Forward that claimed tens of millions of lives from 1958–1962, an aging Mao Zedong launched an ambitious scheme to shore up his reputation and eliminate those he viewed as a threat to his legacy. The Cultural Revolution's goal was to purge the country of bourgeois, capitalistic elements he claimed were threatening genuine communist ideology. Young students formed the Red Guards, vowing to defend the Chairman to the death, but soon rival factions started fighting each other in the streets with semiautomatic weapons in the name of revolutionary purity. As the country descended into chaos, the military intervened, turning China into a garrison state marked by bloody purges that crushed as many as one in fifty people. ''The Cultural Revolution: A People's History, 1962–1976'' draws for the first time on hundreds of previously classified party documents, from secret police reports to unexpurgated versions of leadership speeches. After the army itself fell victim to the Cultural Revolution, ordinary people used the political chaos to resurrect the market and hollow out the party's ideology. By showing how economic reform from below was an unintended consequence of a decade of violent purges and entrenched fear, ''The Cultural Revolution'' casts China's most tumultuous era in a wholly new light.
