Hearing Modernity is a multifaceted project built around our eight sessions of visiting presenters (with their papers) and a culminating talk by Jacques Attali. Other aspects include: the Intonarumori (Noise-Makers) series of sound artist talks at the Museum of Fine Arts (organized by Seth Kim-Cohen at the SMFA); a reading group (simultaneously online and in-person) discussing earlier works by the speakers; and a graduate seminar (also called “Hearing Modernity”) at Harvard this spring that will help produce online, media-rich versions of the guest presentations, in lieu of a traditional collected volume of essays.
Over the coming weeks, in addition to our regular posts on our visiting presenters and the Intonarumori series, students from the graduate seminar will share a series of posts that begin their process of synthesizing our various sessions from throughout the year.
