Abstract

During the nineteenth century, many heard the afterlife before they could see it. These clairaudient forays took place in the context of spiritualism, a religious movement that facilitated communication between the living and the dead. Although the senses were important to spiritualism, sound was especially crucial for developing cosmologies of the afterlife. Sound can have powerful affective effects, especially in the realm of religion. In the case of spiritualism, however, notions of sound are complicated because of the inclusion of clairaudient and acousmatic sounds. This article analyzes spiritualist soundscapes in terms of acoustemologies, using personal narratives and instructional materials to demonstrate how spiritualists developed a sense of space through sound. Not only does my analysis demonstrate the importance of sound to these spiritual communities, but it also shows that spiritualist conceptions of sound require a special understanding of the nature of sound.

心灵之耳
十九世纪,许多人在看到来世之前就听到了来世的声音。这些心灵感应是在灵性主义的背景下发生的,灵性主义是一种促进生者与死者之间交流的宗教运动。虽然感官对灵性主义很重要,但声音对发展来世的宇宙观尤为关键。声音可以产生强大的情感效应,尤其是在宗教领域。然而,就灵灵论而言,声音的概念是复杂的,因为其中包含了听觉和触觉的声音。本文从音响系统学的角度分析了灵修派的声音景观,利用个人叙事和教学材料展示了灵修者如何通过声音发展空间感。我的分析不仅证明了声音对这些灵修团体的重要性,还表明灵修者的声音概念需要对声音的本质有特殊的理解。
