Overview

This book asks what it takes for people to encounter one another ethically when practices, worldviews and imaginations clash. It engages over 40 contributors across geographies, disciplines, art forms and practices in a conversation that touches on topics ranging from the climate catastrophe to the disintegration of the welfare state and the erasure of certain bodies from public spaces. It is concerned with how these 'big' questions play out in 'small' everyday encounters in classrooms, rehearsal rooms, arts projects, charity events or city markets. The book's polyphonic text does not present answers to its central questions in the way a typical research publication might do. Instead, it creates a flow and invites the reader to join a conversation. By refusing to deliver an argument, the book opens new possibilities for relating to others in the academy and arts.

Reviews

Provocative and timely, this set of expansive interdisciplinary conversations engages with the unequal, unsettling, yet creative dimensions of listening in encounters across difference. It will resonate with all those within and outside the academy who seek a more profoundly ethical attunement to others. * Caroline Kerfoot, Stockholm University, Sweden * Written in community across a broad range of contexts, disciplines and intellectuals, Listening Without Borders provides a rich, meditative tapestry on encounters through language(s) and arts. This book is beautifully curated, empathic and intellectually stimulating while inspiring necessary questions on broader issues of language and plurality. * Kamran Khan, University of Birmingham, UK *
