Reviews

A rich and timely meditation on a concept central to sonic theory. * The Wire * Sonic Fiction touches on relevant issues concerning contemporary popular culture in a globalized world, while presenting innovative research and fresh theoretical ideas. * Carla J. Maier, Marie Curie Postdoctoral Researcher, University of Copenhagen, Denmark, and author of Transcultural Sound Practices: British Asian Dance Music as Cultural Transformation (2020) * The main benefit of Sonic Fiction is to open up the particular approach of Kodwo Eshun's 'Sonic Fiction' to a broader public and outline the several fields of discourse that have built upon his concept. Informed by sound anthropology and the newly emerging transdisciplinary field of sound studies, this volume identifies and explains the specific contribution of the 'Sonic Fiction' approach to an epistemology of sound. * Rolf Großmann, Professor in Culture and Aesthetics of Digital Media, University of Lüneburg, Germany * A thoughtful introduction to some of the most vital tendencies in 21st-century auditory arts and cultural theory. Sonic fictions are generative systems: synthesizers of ideas, recomposers of politics, collective transducers. Schulze's book offers a timely and a forward-looking appraisal of Kodwo Eshun's work and its proliferating influence. * Paul Jasen, Lecturer in Music, Carleton University, Canada *
