Description

This scholarly work explores how sound shapes space and community across contemporary Japan, examining the intricate relationship between sonic practices and human relations. Drawing on rich ethnographic research, the book traces sound's role in constituting society from right-wing sound trucks and left-wing protests to early 20th century jazz cafes and modern avant-garde art forms. It investigates how the sounds of U.S. military presence prompted local responses, revealing how sonic experiences reflect broader politics, aesthetics, and ethics within Japanese culture. By situating sound as central to sensory anthropology, this study demonstrates how acoustic practices transform everyday interactions and shape collective identity in Japan.
