Hear brings together essays on listening, sound and silence in relation to law. Contributors approach hearing as both a sensory experience and a way of interpreting relationships, institutions and the environments in which legal judgments take shape.
The collection moves between jurisprudence, music, sound art and philosophy. Topics include the Sirens, whale communication, musical improvisation, acoustic coexistence and the vocabulary of law and listening. The essays explore how attention to sound changes questions of evidence, order, responsibility and the boundaries of legal understanding.
Part of the Law and the Senses series, the volume combines theoretical discussion with examples from artistic practice and everyday soundscapes. This complete publisher edition includes its contributor biographies, notes, index and original licensing notices.
