Abstract

This essay presents the song “Area Code 869,” an example of a Caribbean genre known as “wilders” or “pep,” as a form of what Kodwo Eshun calls “sonic fiction.” By focusing on sonic bodies as “bodies touched by sound,” the essay suggests that “869” offers a reimagination of the historical relationship between sugar, sound, and speed in the Eastern Caribbean island of St. Kitts, a former British sugar colony.

糖、声音、速度

这篇文章介绍了歌曲《区号869》，这是一首被称为“wilders”或“pep”的加勒比流派的例子，作为Kodwo Eshun所说的“声波小说”的一种形式。通过将声波身体聚焦为“被声音触摸的身体”，文章认为《869》重新想象了东加勒比圣岛糖、声音和速度之间的历史关系。基特斯，前英国制糖殖民地。
