Sound and Image: Aesthetics and Practices

Sound and Image: Aesthetics and Practices brings together international artist scholars to explore diverse sound and image practices, applying critical perspectives to interrogate and evaluate both the aesthetics and practices that underpin the audiovisual.

Contributions draw upon established discourses in electroacoustic music, media art history, film studies, critical theory and dance; framing and critiquing these arguments within the context of diverse audiovisual practices. The volume's interdisciplinary perspective contributes to the rich and evolving dialogue surrounding the audiovisual, demonstrating the value and significance of practice-informed theory, and theory derived from practice. The ideas and approaches explored within this book will find application in a wide range of contexts across the whole scope of audiovisuality, from visual music and experimental film, to narrative film and documentary, to live performance, sound design and into sonic art and electroacoustic music.

This book is ideal for artists, composers and researchers investigating theoretical positions and compositional practices which bring together sound and image.

《聲音與影像：美學與實踐》匯集了國際藝術學者，探索多樣的聲音與影像實踐，應用批判性觀點來質疑和評估支撐視聽的美學和實踐。

這些貢獻借鑒了電子音樂、媒體藝術史、電影研究、批判理論和舞蹈等領域的成熟論述，將這些論點置於多樣的視聽實踐背景下進行框架和評論。本書的跨學科觀點有助於豐富且不斷發展的關於視聽的對話，展示了實踐為基礎的理論和從實踐中衍生的理論的價值和重要性。本書探討的思想和方法將在視聽的整個範疇中找到應用，從視覺音樂和實驗電影，到敘事電影和紀錄片，再到現場表演、音效設計，以及聲音藝術和電子音樂。

本書適合藝術家、作曲家和研究人員探索將聲音和影像結合的理論立場和創作實踐。
