“A sound’s salience and emotional charge depends upon the life histories of the people who hear it, and upon the comparative backdrop against which they listen to the sounds that are emplaced in a particular time and location. As starting point of an attempt to find new vocabularies, new theoretical models and new arguments about listening in general as well as about psychiatric institutions, Kim Wichera will be asking a range of panelists who work in psychiatric institutions or who have been users of these services:• How they have been identifying sounds, interpreting their significance, and mapping them onto their knowledge of the institution
• Who influences the act of listening in the psychiatric system?
• Who is responsible for sounding in the psychiatric system?
• How is the environment designed and built to affect sound?
• Which objects mediate sound for listeners?
Panelists: Karin Jervert, Dr. Kristina Eichel, Dr Tom Rice, Kristel Jax
