In her forthcoming book (Fordham UP), The Sound of Biopolitics, Naomi Waltham-Smith asks if the contemporary can be described as a crisis of listening. How have sound and aurality been caught up in philosophy’s attempt to theorize the politics of sovereignty? Panelists bring together work on art, media, and literature, as well as police data, protest culture, and the colonial archive.

Naomi Waltham-Smith is an Assistant Professor of Music at University of Pennsylvania. The colloquium will also feature Soyoung Yoon, Assistant Professor of Visual Studies at Lang College and Julie Beth Napolin, Assistant Professor of Digital Humanities at Lang College. Lana Lin, Associate Professor of Film Theory and Digital Cinema at the School of Media Studies, will be the respondent.

This event is sponsored by Eugene Lang College and the Junior Women’s Mentoring Group.
