This volume reads the global urban environment through mediated sonic practices to put a
contemporary spin on acoustic ecology's investigations at the intersection of space cultures
technology and the senses. Acoustic ecology is an interdisciplinary framework from the 1970s
for documenting analyzing and transforming sonic environments: an early model of the
cross-boundary thinking and multi-modal practices now common across the digital humanities.
With the recent emergence of sound studies and the expansion of ecological thinking there is
an increased urgency to re-discover and contemporize the acoustic ecology tradition. This book
serves as a comprehensive investigation into the ways in which current scholars working with
sound are re-inventing acoustic ecology across diverse fields drawing on acoustic ecology's
focus on sensory experience place and applied research as well as attendance to mediatized
practices in sounded space. From sounding out the Anthropocene torethinking our auditory media
landscapes to exploring citizenship and community this volume brings the original acoustic
ecology problem set into the contemporary landscape of sound studies.
