Colloquium Sound & Sensory Studies
Concept
»Transmission
trumps listening,we are no good
at receiving.«Michel Serres, The Five Senses (1985/2008), S. 139
Be it sound art-pieces, academic articles, blogposts or a PhD-treatment, an artistic research proposal: in this biweekly research colloquium we immerse ourselves in discussing new approaches to sound studies.
Part of the interdisciplinary Research Group Sound & Senses we invite all researchers, artists, students or listeners to take part and to propose topics and materials for our future meetings.
As a collaborative workshop this meeting provides an opportunity for researchers of all levels (experienced scholars as well as PhD-/MA-students or artistic researchers) to discuss their approaches from various interdisciplinary fields with a special sensibility concerning sound.

Topic: Sounding Women’s Strikes: resonances of recent feminist mobilisations through the lens of the 2020/21 Polish Women’s Strike
Presenter: Hanna Grześkiewicz (Berlin/DE)
Description: This project looks at the sonic in social movements, using the case study of the 2020/21 Polish Women’s Strike. Originating from an intersection of activist and academic practice, the research asks what sounding the movement can tell us about its developments, as well as exploring the extents of sonic agency, with the aim of situating local feminist mobilisations in a global movement.
