Book Description: Breaking new ground in the field of Sound Studies, this book provides an in-depth study of the culture and physicality of dancehall reggae music. The reggae sound system has exerted a major influence on music and popular culture. Every night, on the streets of inner city Kingston, Jamaica, Dancehall sessions stage a visceral, immersive and immensely pleasurable experience of sonic dominance for the participating crowd.
Editorial Review: Henriques's ambition is to attempt 'a mode of Cultural Studies that is itself auditory, as distinct to one that has audition as its object of investigation'. This is an intriguing challenge for a book that is meant to be read, not heard ... he raises important questions in the process. [Sonic Bodies] offers a fresh and illuminating exploration of Jamaican auditory culture through the reggae sound system, making a significant contribution to an aspect of Caribbean and Jamaican culture that is in dire need of interrogation ... Henriques demonstrates an extensive understanding of the literature of auditory theory, cultural studies and philosophy which is very enriching for a variety of disciplines ... An outstanding cross-/multi-disciplinary work.
About the Author: Julian Henriques is senior lecturer in the Department of Media and Communications at Goldsmiths, University of London. He previously ran the Film and Television Department at CARIMAC, at the University of the West Indies in Kingston, Jamaica.
