Holger Schulze is the foremost conductor of sonic anthropology. For this handbook, Maestro Schulze has assembled a chorus of many of the leading voices in Sound Studies and a range of emergent voices-junior scholars who are just breaking in on (and up) the scene, or score. There are chapters that will tantalize the listener, like Melissa Van Drie's chapter 'The Food,' and other chapters that will jar you, rock you, soothe you, or leave you wondering what it was you just heard, like Tobias Ewé's 'The Unheard.' The aim of The Bloomsbury Handbook of the Anthropology of Sound is to decolonialize, idiosyncratize, and sensualize our hearing as 'humanoid aliens' in a more-than-human world. With its sections on 'Living with Sonic Artifacts,' 'Sounding Flesh,' 'Sonic Desires,' and 'Sensologies,' this volume is as polyphonic as it is interdisciplinary, and will
definitely leave the reader with the impression that the anthropology of sound is BOOMING.
