  • “O'erwhelmed with Noise”: Sound-Houses and Sonic
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Plymouth Electronic Archive and Research Library “O’erwhelmed with Noise”: Sound-Houses and Sonic Experiments in Ben Jonson’s Epicene BRIONY FROST University of Exeter In his unfinished text, New Atlantis (1627), Sir Francis Bacon indulges in a fantasy of dedicated spaces in utopian colleges in which [w]e practice and demonstrate all sounds and their generation ... represent Small Sounds as Great and Deepe; Likewise Great Sounds, Extenuate and Sharpe; Wee make diuerse Tremblings and Warblings of Sounds, which in their Originall are Entire ... Wee haue also diuerse Strange and Artificiall Eccho’s, Reflecting the Voice many times ... rendring the Voice, Differing in the Letters or Articulate Sound ... Wee haue also meanes to conuey Sounds in Trunks and Pipes, in strange Lines, and Distances (182). These “Sound-Houses” are imaged as part of a sensory laboratory, in which all senses can be stimulated and tested. Such a learning environment is predicated upon a pre- Cartesian philosophy that “all knowledge begins with sense experience” (B. Smith, Key of Green 100). Prevalent in early modern medical and philosophical discourses that followed the doctrines of Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas, this theory distinguished between two types of senses, both recognised as “preliminary to the intellect”: the internal and the external senses (Aquinas 1: 411). The scholars of the colleges serve as loose figures for these sensory groups and their connecting pathways. The “demonstration of all sounds and their generation” is practiced upon the “Pioneers”; it reflects the stimulation of one of the external senses—hearing— which “establish[es] contact [thereby blurring the boundaries between auricular and tactile impressions] with the world through sensation” (Griffin 149, emphasis added).1 This excites the humors, which move the passions, and the response is documented by the “Compilers” or internal senses: common sense, imagination, and memory.

By Tim Van Milligan Andrew Metanias asks: “I ordered the Dr. Zooch Saturn V kit a little over a week ago and at the end of the instruc- tions, it said that the rocket goes over 800 feet high and 1144 feet per second on a C6-5. Are they just telling me a bunch of junk to try to make the rocket look cool, or is this really true? 1144 fps is 780 mph. Thats about 20 mph more than the speed of sound (depending on the tempera- ture). It’s hard for me to believe that the detailed Saturn V can break the sound barrier. If anything does go the speed of sound, when it makes a sonic boom and it’s that close by, don’t you have to wear earmuffs or something like that because the sonic boom is extremely loud?

  • Sound Evidence: an Archaeology of Audio Recording and Surveillance in Popular Film and Media
    Sound Evidence: An Archaeology of Audio Recording and Surveillance in Popular Film and Media by Dimitrios Pavlounis A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Screen Arts and Cultures) in the University of Michigan 2016 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Sheila C. Murphy, Chair Emeritus Professor Richard Abel Professor Lisa Ann Nakamura Associate Professor Aswin Punathambekar Professor Gerald Patrick Scannell © Dimitrios Pavlounis 2016 For My Parents ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS My introduction to media studies took place over ten years ago at McGill University where Ned Schantz, Derek Nystrom, and Alanna Thain taught me to see the world differently. Their passionate teaching drew me to the discipline, and their continued generosity and support made me want to pursue graduate studies. I am also grateful to Kavi Abraham, Asif Yusuf, Chris Martin, Mike Shortt, Karishma Lall, Amanda Tripp, Islay Campbell, and Lees Nickerson for all of the good times we had then and have had since. Thanks also to my cousins Tasi and Joe for keeping me fed and laughing in Montreal. At the University of Toronto, my entire M.A. cohort created a sense of community that I have tried to bring with me to Michigan. Learning to be a graduate student shouldn’t have been so much fun. I am especially thankful to Rob King, Nic Sammond, and Corinn Columpar for being exemplary scholars and teachers. Never have I learned so much in a year. To give everyone at the University of Michigan who contributed in a meaningful way to the production of this dissertation proper acknowledgment would mean to write another dissertation-length document.
