Is it possible to work with sound in sociology rather than being about sound? Can there be a
»sonic sociology«? Rémy Bocquillon reflects on the process-oriented character of sociology as
an experimental science by including aesthetic practices of sounding and listening as
constitutive for the making of sociological theory. Following new materialist and speculative
philosophies this study is thus a combination of sociological theory philosophical thought
and aesthetic practices not understood as discrete fields of inquiry but co-constituting each
other. It also features an audio chapter »feeding-back« the sonic experimentations at the core
of the research in new and engaging ways.
