“…This collective body of work has sought to bring about a 'sensory turn' in order to destabilise the hegemony of the visual. It is argued that both sound and visual are part of a set of sensations that help us to understand experiences of human interaction and the impact senses can have on the human body (Boudreault-Fournier, 2020;Mansel, 2020). Paul Stoller (1989) has called on anthropologists to develop sensuous scholarship to better connect with the social world, arguing that they have lost the smells, sounds and tastes of the places they seek to study.…”

“…Feld used sound recordings of the rainforest to stimulate discussion with local people in Papua New Guinea to better understand what sounds means to them. Others have explored 'sonic encounters' and how listeners sense of self is shaped by sound (Mansel, 2020). For example, Kate Herrity's work (2018) examined the sounds of the prison soundscape in order to understand prison social life, as well as how music helped shape prisoner self-identity.…”

Audio research methods, attitudes, and accessibility theory: Using audio vignettes to elicit attitudes towards sex work

Audio recording interviews, focus groups, and naturally occurring interactions have been utilised by social researchers for decades. Yet, the use of audio recordings as a tool to elicit participant responses has received less attention in social science research. This is despite heightened interest in non-traditional techniques such as the use of visual methodologies, and arts-based methods. In this article, I describe how I advanced a known method, vignettes, into an audio narrative to explore perceptions of sex work. This article reports on the methodological rationale for the novel use of audio vignettes, and the capacity they have for memory retrieval, eliciting reflections on lived experiences, and for providing richer attitudinal data. By drawing on ‘accessibility theory’, this article argues that audio vignettes are a powerful elicitor of attitudes. Furthermore, I claim that audio methods as I define them, can enhance the social scientists’ toolkit and that, what I term ‘audio sociology’ needs further development.

Listening in the Gaps: On Creative Practice, Knowledge Making and Archival Sound

For more than fifty years the archive has been viewed as a site of power and its critique. Within the drive for archivability, the technological dependence, and consequent vulnerability to loss and decay, of sound archives render them problematic. Yet, the very same fragility has also made sound archives a site of intensive creative production as artists and musicians re-work sonic materials into new shapes and stories that transcend the material constraints of the archive itself. In this contribution, I examine listening to various examples of creative ‘documentary’ musical practice as opening the way to a deeper consideration of the multiple relations between archival sound, artist, and listener. By exploring the contingent, and ultimately ephemeral, relations on which a musical work depends, we can better understand how listening in the archival gaps informs creative processes as well as illuminate emergent meaning in these artistic uses of sonic remnants.
