Corporeal Soundings in 20th Century Art and Protest

本研究将探讨20世纪声音艺术和抗议中声音和噪音的政治，重点关注与战争创伤有关的文化表达。该项目询问这些声音，特别是在反军国主义议程中，是否可以被解读为嘈杂的不服从对沉默的服从。本研究将考虑非语言的声音是否可解释，而不是作为传统语言形式的替代品，而是在反军国主义艺术和抗议的背景下对其的重要扩展。项目的核心将是对艺术作品和发声行为的批判性分析，在这些作品中，制作者并不寻求连贯的发音，而是通过将语言的物质性带到聆听体验的最前沿，利用语言的情感品质。主要的案例研究将是Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven， Åke Hodell和格林汉姆共同抗议者。这项研究将特别关注艺术和声音，强调语言的不可靠性，以及传统的铰接表达形式被内部强度的非语言发声所取代。

This research will explore the politics of vocal sounds and noises in 20th century sound art and protest, with a focus on cultural expressions concerned with the trauma of war. The project asks whether these sounds, particularly in the service of an antimilitaristic agenda, can be read as noisy disobedience against silence's obedience. This research will consider whether non-linguistic vocal sounds are interpretable not as a substitute for traditional forms of language, but rather a vital expansion of it in the context of antimilitaristic art and protest. At the centre of the project will be a critical analysis of works of art and acts of sounding where the makers are not seeking coherent articulation but rather taking advantage of the affective qualities of speech by bringing the corporeality of language to the forefront of the listening experience. The primary case studies will be Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven, Åke Hodell and the Greenham Common Protesters. The research will specifically focus on art and soundings that highlight the unreliability of language and where traditional forms of articulated expression are replaced by non-linguistic vocalisations of interior intensities.
