Christofmigone Draft Cover Withnaumanimage sonic somatic: performances of the unsound body sonic somatic: performances of the unsound body by Christof Migone acknowledgments A book like this does not have a single author, but is a series of conversations which the named author wrangles into a coherent whole as best as possible. The book converses with explicit sources that populate the footnotes, but also with influences and inspirations that inform the flow of these exchanges. The principal nexus of the latter is the Department of Performance Studies, Tisch School of the Arts, New York University where the dissertation I com- pleted in 2007 for the doctorate degree constitutes the bulk of this book. My years at nyu were enriched by Sara Jane Bailes, Barbara Browning, Steve Feld, May Joseph, Fred Moten, José Muñoz, Lara Nielsen, Peggy Phelan, Avital Ronell, Juan Salas, Heather Shuster, Mick Taussig, mj Thompson, and Claude Wampler. The support of Allen S. Weiss as my advisor has been unwavering throughout and I continue to be buoyed by his endorsement and encourage- ment. Another prime site of my engagement with both theoretical and prac- tical manifestations of all things sonic is Montréal where interweavings with the following persons ebb and flow as they should: Michel F. Côté, Alexandre St-Onge, Nicole Gingras, Steve Bates, Jake Moore, Lynda Gaudreau, Michèle Thériault, Jonathan Parant, Dave Bryant, Simon Brown, Raymond Gervais. Others who have influenced and inspired my thinking over the years are too numerous to mention, but there are some salient figures: Gregory Whitehead, Brandon LaBelle, Julia Loktev and Jocelyn Robert. And Marla, who unsounds me in a way that keeps me sound. This is a compendium of research and thoughts on sound for the last sixteen years – the earliest, “Vexations”, dates to 1995 and “Pneumatics”, the most recent, was written in 2011. The book contains a significant proportion of previously published material. In most instances each text was substan- tially revised for this book. Many thanks to all the previous editors and pub- lishers for their support. Chapter One Section 2 “Taciturntablism” in Places and Non-places of Contemporary Art / Lieux et non-lieux de l’art actuel (Montréal: Éditions Esse, v 2005). Section 3.1 “This Disquiet” appeared as the curatorial essay for the group exhibition “Disquiet” presented at Modern Fuel in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, 24 August – 25 September 2005. Chapter Two Section 1 “Mouth Pores” was first written in French and appeared as “Bouche … boue … oue: une somaphonie buccale” in Inter No. 98 Espaces Sonores, guest ed. Jocelyn Robert (Québec, 2008). Section 2 “Flatus Vocis: Somatic Winds” appeared in Aural Cultures, ed. Jim Drobnick (Toronto: yyz Books, 2004). Chapter Three Section 1 “Utter the Stutter” appeared as “(untitled per- formance), a lexicon of false starts and failed advances” in Writing Aloud: The Sonics of Language, eds. Brandon Labelle and Christof Migone (Los Angeles: Errant Bodies Press, 2001). Chapter Four Section 1 “Volume” as “Volume (of confinement and infin- ity): A History of Unsound Art” in s:on Sound in Contemporary Canadian Art, ed. Nicole Gingras (Montréal: Artexte, 2003). Section 1.4 “Slippery Threads” as “Slippery Threads (an amplified concert critique)” in Angelaki: journal of the theoretical humanities, vol. 4 no.3, December 1999 (included in the Glissement dossier edited by Gerard Greenway). Section 2.1 “Pneumatics” was commissioned by Action Art Actuel, the artist-run center which presented Jean-Pierre Gauthier's “Thorax” as part of the curatorial project of Eric Mattson titled ondes : immanence ou matérialité, 16 September – 31 October 2010. Section 2.2 “Space is the Place is the Time is the Song” in Steve Heimbecker’s Songs of Place dvd catalog (Montréal: Oboro, 2005). Section 2.3 “Frictions: Sound Objects and Surfaces” as a review of the exhibition by the same name curated by Nicole Gingras in para-para No. 017 (Montréal: Parachute 2005). Section 2.4 “Ricochets, or How the Bullet Skips to the Tune of the Phonograph” first published in xcp: Cross Cultural Poetics, ed. Mark Nowak, Issue 6 (Documentary), 2000. Finally, I would like to acknowledge the profusion of dividuals and cultures that produce and disseminate the sounds, performances, objects and texts that have consistently challenged and expanded my writing and thinking. Without their obstinate silences and wondrous noises, this book would have undoubtedly failed to emit a single note. vi table of contents acknowledgments . v table of contents . ix list of figures . xi chapter one / soundmutesilence . 1 1 . heretofore unheard histories of air disturbances . 3 1 .1 sound itself . 7 1 .2 unheard of . 15 1 .3 breakdown . 20 2 . taciturntablism . 27 2 .1 reductio . 27 2 .2 moot mute . 41 3 . disquietude . 49 3 .1 this quiet . 49 3 .2 resisting arrest: the speechless body in motion . 51 chapter two / soundmouthbody . 65 1 . mouth pores . 67 1 .1 mouth agape . 67 1 .2 frozen speech . 76 2 . flatus vocis: somatic winds . 83 2 .1 south winds . 89 2 .2 incontinence . 96 2 .3 exit wound . 101 3 . leaks: stories of the spit self . 103 ix chapter three / soundtimeslanguage . 117 1 . utter the stutter . 119 1 .1 the performance of inarticulation and porosity . 119 1 .2 remainder . 128 1 .3 arrhythmia and claustrophilia . 135 1 .4 scream and run, run, run . 140 2 . metronomics . 147 2 .1 vexations . 147 2 .2 furniture audience . 154 2 .3 it never ends . 155 chapter four / soundspacebeyond . 163 1 . volume . 165 1 .1 of confinement and infinity . 165 1 .2 with in . 166 1 .3 provisional place and speech . 171 1 .4 slippery threads . 183 2 . depth charges . 191 2 .1 pneumatics . 191 2 .2 space is the place is the time is the song . 195 2 .3 frictions: sound objects and surfaces . 199 2 .4 ricochets . 205 2 .5 the announcement which stops the shot . 216 3 . as it empties out . 221 coda . 227 1 . statement on the state of sound art . 229 bibliography . 242 index . 259 x list of figures chapter one fig. 01 robert morris, The Box with the Sound of its Own Making, 1961 . 09 fig. 02 bruce nauman, Concrete Tape Recorder Piece, 1968 . 09 fig. 03 santiago sierra, 11 People Paid To Learn A Phrase, 2001 . 12 fig. 04 philip von zweck, Honk If You Love Silence, 2000 . 28 fig. 05 dave dyment and roula partheniou, Super Infinity, 2002 . 33 fig. 06 claude wampler, Knitease: Ms. Lefarge Give Another Historical Performance, 1996 . 34 fig. 07 claude wampler, Knitease: Ms. Lefarge Give Another Historical Performance, 1996 . 34 fig. 08 tom friedman, untitled, 1990 . 40 fig. 09 tom friedman, untitled (detail), 1990 . 40 fig. 10 bruce nauman, Circulating corridor – No access, 1970 . 44 fig. 11 joseph beuys, Das Schweigen, 1973 . 47 fig. 12 marina abramovic, Rhythm 0, 1974 . 58 fig. 13 joseph beuys, Infiltration homogen für Konzertflügel, 1966 . 58 fig. 14 adrian piper, Untitled Performance at Max’s Kansas City, nyc, 1970 . 61 chapter two fig. 15 hayley newman, Lockjaw Lecture Series, 1998 . 68 fig. 16 martin kersels, Attempt to raise the temperature of a container of water by yelling at it, 1995 . 73 fig. 17 adrian piper, Catalysis iv, 1970 . 75 fig. 18 uncredited, [Medium producing ectoplasm during spiritual seance] 75 fig. 19 ann hamilton, face to face – 8, 2001 . 79 fig. 20 ann hamilton, face to face – 16, 2001 . 79 fig. 21 ann hamilton, face to face – 26, 2001 . 79 xi fig. 22 cang xin, Communication_Series_No.3, 2000 . 81 fig. 23 cang xin, Communication_Series_No.5, 2000 . 81 fig. 24 cang xin, Communication_Series_No.7, 2001 . 81 fig. 25 christian marclay, Untitled, 1996 . 91 fig. 26 joseph pujol performing for Thomas Edison’s kinetophonolfacto - graph, 1900 . 97 fig. 27 vito acconci, Waterways: Four Saliva Studies, 1971 . 105 fig. 28 vito acconci, Waterways: Four Saliva Studies, 1971 . 105 chapter three fig. 29 tatsuo miyajima, na.ar.

  • An Ethnographic Account of Disability and Globalization in Contemporary Russia
    INACCESSIBLE ACCESSIBILITY: AN ETHNOGRAPHIC ACCOUNT OF DISABILITY AND GLOBALIZATION IN CONTEMPORARY RUSSIA Cassandra Hartblay A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Anthropology. Chapel Hill 2015 ! ! ! ! Approved by: Michele Rivkin-Fish Arturo Escobar Sue Estroff Jocelyn Chua Robert McRuer © 2015 Cassandra Hartblay ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ! ii! ABSTRACT Cassandra Hartblay: Inaccessible Accessibility: An Ethnographic Account Of Disability And Globalization In Contemporary Russia (Under the Direction of Michele Rivkin-Fish) Based on over twelve months of fieldwork in Russia, this dissertation explores what an ethnographic approach offers disability studies as a global, interdisciplinary, justice-oriented field. Focused on the personal, embodied narratives and experiences of five adults with mobility impairments in the regional capital city of Petrozavodsk, the dissertation draws on methods including participant observation, ethnographic interviews, performance ethnography, and analysis of public documents and popular media to trace the ways in which the category of disability is reproduced, stigmatized, and made meaningful in a contemporary postsoviet urban context. In tracing the ways in which concepts of disability and accessibility move transnational and transculturally as part of global expert cultures, I argue that Russian adults with disabilities expertly negotiate multiple modes of understanding disability, including historically and culturally rooted social stigma; psychosocial, therapeutic, or medicalized approaches; and democratic minority group citizenship. Considering the array of colloquial Russian terms that my interlocutors used to discuss issues of access and inaccess in informal settings, and their cultural antecedents, I suggest that the postsoviet infrastructural milieu is frequently posited as always opposed to development and European modernity.

  • SKY ABOVE, GREAT WIND the Life and Poetry of Zen Master Ryokan
    “The Zen monk Ryokan has become one of the most popular poets in Japanese history. Living in a small mountain hut rather than a temple, and preferring to play with children to ceremonies, he captured his warm humanity, gentle humor, and deep spirit in his poetry. This fine new translation by Kazuaki Tanahashi includes a generous serving of his poetry in Japanese and Chinese styles, as well as a biography, analysis of his poetry, and charming anecdotes about his life. It is easy to see why Ryokan has become so beloved, not only in Japan, but in the rest of the world as well.” —Stephen Addiss, author of The Art of Zen and The Art of Haiku “The ‘Great Fool’ Ryokan is one of the most revered figures in Japanese poetry, and in Kaz Tanahashi, he has found as perfect an advocate-translator as could be imagined. In this translation, we find an insightful introduction and poem after poem revealing Ryokan’s great good humor, his aloneness, his eccentricities, his poverty in a small hut in the mountains, his Buddhist insightfulness, his love of children and silk-thread balls, and, eventually, his love for a much younger woman. This is a marvelous achievement and a joy to read.” —Sam Hamill, author of Almost Paradise ABOUT THE BOOK Ryokan (1758–1831) is, along with Dogen and Hakuin, one of the three giants of Zen in Japan. But unlike his two renowned colleagues, Ryokan was a societal dropout, living mostly as a hermit and a beggar. He was never head of a monastery or temple.

  • Experimental Design and Analysis
    Experimental Design and Analysis Howard J. Seltman July 11, 2018 ii Preface This book is intended as required reading material for my course, Experimen- tal Design for the Behavioral and Social Sciences, a second level statistics course for undergraduate students in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences at Carnegie Mellon University. This course is also cross-listed as a graduate level course for Masters and PhD students (in fields other than Statistics), and supple- mentary material is included for this level of study. Over the years the course has grown to include students from dozens of majors beyond Psychology and the Social Sciences and from all of the Colleges of the University. This is appropriate because Experimental Design is fundamentally the same for all fields. This book tends towards examples from behavioral and social sciences, but includes a full range of examples. In truth, a better title for the course is Experimental Design and Analysis, and that is the title of this book. Experimental Design and Statistical Analysis go hand in hand, and neither can be understood without the other. Only a small fraction of the myriad statistical analytic methods are covered in this book, but my rough guess is that these methods cover 60%-80% of what you will read in the literature and what is needed for analysis of your own experiments. In other words, I am guessing that the first 10% of all methods available are applicable to about 80% of analyses. Of course, it is well known that 87% of statisticians make up probabilities on the spot when they don’t know the true values.

Though fragmented, these short essays are arranged in five books each crystallized around a central idea: (1) identity and confessional poetry; (2) presentations of scientific fact in and societal impacts of writing; (3) the role of love in literature; (4) influences of traditional fairy tales and forms on contemporary magical literature; and (5) the role of naming in identity formation, problematized through uncertainty. I would like this exploration of hiding to be an exercise in disclosure: who I am in person and who I am in language; who I am in logic and who I am in sound. where the lines blur and where they solidify provide results for a hypothesis I have yet to write.
