Conversa com Marie Thompson: Sounding Reproduction

Sounding reproduction
In this talk, I’ll discuss my developing research into the connections between sonic, social and sexual reproduction. I will contextualise this in relation to some of my previous work on affect and noise, suggesting that continues through these themes is an interest in the ways in which questions of power, race and gender extend beyond ‘the representational’; and shape structures of thought, technics and practice. An attention to reproduction, I’ll suggest, makes apparent the entanglement of sonic media with gendered and racialised distributions of labour; and opens a space for a Marxist-feminist politics of sound and music.
