How to Know from Sound: performing invisible epistemologies by Salomé Voegelin
Öffentliche Lecture Performance zu Doktoratskolloquium «Die Stimme im Text»
«I will be reading texts, play and make sounds to ask questions about the knowledge of practice-based research; and I will attempt to answer some of them by performing how we could know from sound. Thus I will stage a performative engagement in the relevance and realities of doctoral research in the arts: how it troubles institutional frameworks and expectations of quality; how it challenges notions of assessment and academic identity; and how it touches on the politics of what we can know. Thinking knowledge from sound allows us to focus on resonance and relationality, which yield a plural and contingent sense of things. Because, sound's invisible and indivisible sphere presents novel ways to think knowledge in the plural, in simultaneity and even in contradiction, offering a different imaginary for how to understand and thus how to take action in a contemporary world.»
