We encourage = studies that consider home as a permanent dwelling for families and = individuals as well as studies that consider the homely in a more = abstract sense, as an ideal to long for or a place to dream of or run = from. The broad aim of this special issue is an interest in explorations = of the home as that which is close, most habitual =E2=80=93 and perhaps = therefore often overheard =E2=80=93 as well as the methodological = considerations that follow. Examinations might follow the home as = private and secure, but we also encourage studies where sound at home = reveals itself as problematic and =E2=80=9Cunheimlich=E2=80=9D (cf. = Raahauge 2009; Freud 1919). =20 Concretely, we ask how home designs and technologies shape the = soundscapes and atmospheres of the home, how they are negotiated and how = they influence the dynamics of the different occupants of the home? What = kind of =E2=80=9Cacoustic agency=E2=80=9D (Cusick 2013) is expected of = the home =E2=80=93 and what is available? How do we explore = =E2=80=9Cacoustemologies=E2=80=9D (Feld 2012) of the homes of the = present and the past? What can we learn from the changes they might have = undergone? What methodologies allow us to explore habitual sounds, and = can we re-enchant (Mannay 2010; Sikes 2006) these sounds? What is the = meaning of sounds that are transported into or out of the house = deliberately or inadvertently? How do the other beings that we share our = homes with influence our sense of home through their =E2=80=9Csonic = traces=E2=80=9D (Schulze 2018) and kinetic melodies? What characterizes = our own =E2=80=9Chomebody=E2=80=9D (Steinbock 1995)? =20 Proposals for this special issue might speak to some of the following = subjects and points of discussion, but are not limited to: =C2=B7 Soundscapes and acoustemologies of the home and the homely =C2=B7 The shifting historical role of sound technologies in homes =C2=B7 Power relations and acoustic agency of the homely =C2=B7 Methodological approaches to studies of the intimate and = the well-known =C2=B7 Histories of sensing, habituation and overhearing sounds =C2=B7 Sounds as mediations between the home and its surroundings =C2=B7 Sound as indicators of safety versus uncanny sounds. =20 Deadline Potential contributors are invited to submit full articles by July 1st, = 2020.
