Abstract

ABSTRACT Four recently published books examine sound in social contexts, including brass bands on the streets of New Orleans, Hawaiian steel guitar, the genre of Noise and its social circulation, and Aboriginal radio production in northern Australia. The authors present the material and metaphoric power of sound in social contexts through thoughtful and thorough historical research and long-term ethnographic study. The influential thinking of John Blacking, Steven Feld, and others is expanded and critiqued in new contexts. Three of the authors are editors or contributors to a recent publication on keywords related to sound in anthropology and ethnomusicology.

物质性与隐喻:循环中的声音

最近出版的四本书研究了社会背景下的声音，包括新奥尔良街头的铜管乐队，夏威夷钢吉他，噪音类型及其社会流通，以及澳大利亚北部的土著广播制作。作者通过深入深入的历史研究和长期的民族志研究，呈现了声音在社会语境中的物质和隐喻力量。约翰·布莱克、史蒂文·菲尔德等人的有影响力的思想在新的背景下得到了扩展和批判。其中三位作者是最近出版的一本关于人类学和民族音乐学中声音相关关键词的出版物的编辑或撰稿人。

期刊介绍： Reviews in Anthropology is the only anthropological journal devoted to lengthy, in-depth review commentary on recently published books. Titles are largely drawn from the professional literature of anthropology, covering the entire range of work inclusive of all sub-disciplines, including biological, cultural, archaeological, and linguistic anthropology; a smaller number of books is selected from related disciplines. Articles evaluate the place of new books in their theoretical and topical literatures, assess their contributions to anthropology as a whole, and appraise the current state of knowledge in the field. The highly diverse subject matter sustains both specialized research and the generalist tradition of holistic anthropology.
