Sonic Rebellions

Sonic Rebellions combines theory and practice to consider contemporary uses of sound in the context of politics, philosophy, and protest, by exploring the relationship between sound and social justice, with particular attention to sonic methodologies not necessarily conceptualised or practiced in traditional understandings of activism.

An edited collection written by artists, academics, and activists, many authors have multidimensional experiences as practitioners themselves, and readers will benefit from never before published doctoral and community projects, and innovative, audio-based interpretations of social issues today. With chapters covering the use of soundscapes, rap, theatre, social media, protest, and song, in application to contemporary socio-political issues such as gentrification, neoliberalism, criminalisation, democracy, and migrant rights. Sonic Rebellions looks to encourage readers to become, or consider, how they are Sonic Rebels themselves,
