教学目标 Course Objectives
本课程旨在让学生了解国际学界新兴并迅速发展壮大的跨学科前沿领域“声音研究（Sound Studies）”。声音研究在过去
二十年间兴起，作为对学术界长期以来的视觉中心主义的认知和突破——如果我们关注社会和文化中的声音以及听觉经验，
会得到什么？声音研究从听觉范式这一全新维度重新感知世界，重新思考社会、文化和我们生活于其中的物质世界。本课
程通过声音、音乐、噪音和静默的基本理念、前沿研究和具体实践，培养学生对听觉感官的认知以及对声音维度的重视；
并且通过与声音相关的重要社会文化议题，使学生从声音的视角重新理解科学、技术、艺术、文化和社会的交织与互构。
This course aims to enable students to understand the new and fast developing field of Sound Studies. This
interdisciplinary field has emerged in the last twenty years in response to the recognition that all too often the academy
has been dominated by just one sense – sight. What happens if we pay more attention to sound and auditory
experiences in society and culture? Sound Studies perceive the world from a new dimension of sound, and rethink
society, culture and the material world that we live in. This course includes the interpretation of basic concepts of sound,
music, noise and silence, the introduction of frontier researches and the practice of sound art. It cultivates students’
awareness and cognition of auditory sense and sonic dimension. In addition, through the important social and cultural
issues related to sound, students will re-examine the interweaving and co-construction between science, technology, art,
culture and society from the perspective of sound.

预达学习成果 Learning Outcomes
本课程预期让学生掌握的思维、知识、技能和方法如下：
1、对声音研究这一国际学界新兴并飞速发展的跨学科领域有一般性的了解；
2、掌握声音研究的核心理念、思维方式和研究方法；
3、了解与声音相关的重要社会、文化和艺术议题，并形成批判性理解；
4、能够以多元感官维度认知世界，具备跨学科思维；
5、理解听声音的重要性，并能够运用多媒体手段创作个人的声音作品。
Upon successful completion, students will be able to:
1. To have a general understanding of Sound Studies, an emerging and rapidly developing interdisciplinary field in the
international academic world;
2. To master the central concepts, the way of thinking, and research methods of Sound Studies;
3. To understand and then develop a critical understanding of important social, cultural and artistic issues related to
sound;
4. To able to perceive the world from multiple sensory dimensions and have the ability of interdisciplinary thinking;
5. To understand the importance of listening and be able to use multimedia technology to create sound works.
