Sonic Publics | Introduction and Audio Transcript

Abstract

Below is a full transcript of the audio introduction to our Special Section on Sonic Publics. In lieu of a traditional written introduction, we opted to interview the authors who contributed pieces to this section, and to present those interviews in a format that, in its audibility, reflects the common theme of the publications themselves. The audio quality varies from interview to interview due to logistics, circumstances, and the affordances of sound technology, so we hope this written transcript will augment the recording, as well as make it more broadly accessible and searchable.
