Journal of Sonic Studies - New issue online
We are happy to present to you JSS27 (https://www.researchcatalogue.net/view/558606/558686), a special issue on Sound in the (Post-) Soviet Realm, with eight contributions curated by guest
editor Vadim Keylin. Keylin describes the aspiration of this issue as follows: to make the post-Soviet realm audible – not as a continuous, homogenous soundscape far too often conflated with Russia, but as a cacophony – decidedly not a symphony – of diverse
cultures, identities, aesthetics, and political programs; to sound out both the connections that gave the Second World its identity against the First and Third ones and the contradictions that made it fall apart. In the hope that listening – from a safe distance
– to the sounds of the post-Soviet realm can attune the reader’s ear to the voices coming from it.
