Frontmatter -- Content -- Preface -- Foreword: Wolfgang Ernst's Mediaarchaeological soundings -- Part I Definitions of Sonicity and the Sonic Time Machine -- 1. Introduction: On 'sonicity' -- 2. Beeing as 'Stimmung' -- 3. Sonic re-presencing -- 4. The sonic computer -- Part II Cultural Soundings and Their Engineering -- 5. Resonance of siren songs: Experimenting cultural sonicity -- 6. Textual sonicity: Technologizing oral poetry -- Part III Techno-Sonicity and Its Beeing-In-Time -- 7. History or resonance? -- 8. From sound signal to alphanumeric symbol -- 9.

Summary: Our studies of aesthetics and knowledge have long tended to privilege the visual - at the expense, Wolfgang Ernst argues, of the aural. Sonic Time Machines aims to correct that, presenting a striking new approach to theorising sound that investigates its split existence: as a temporal effect in a techno-cultural context and as a source of knowledge and information. Ernst creates a new term for the concept at the heart of the book, "sonicity," a flexible and powerful term that allows him to consider sound with all its many physical, philosophical, and cultural valences.
