Book Synopsis
Charting the divergent paths of paranoid and reparative affects through illness narratives, academic work, queer life, noise pollution, sonic torture, and other touchy subjects, William Cheng exposes a host of stubborn norms in our daily orientations toward scholarship, self, and sound. Cheng contends that reparative attitudes toward music and musicology can serve as barometers of better worlds.

Trade Review
“Just Vibrations is without question a groundbreaking book, bothaccessible to a wide readership (including undergraduate students) andtheoretically nuanced. Cheng elegantly balances clarity of explanationwith a depth and breadth of scholarship that encourage the reader todive more deeply into the theoretical underpinnings of his readings andinterpretative approaches. All this is accomplished through a writing stylethat is eminently readable, borderline poetic at times.” - Andrew Dell’Antonio, the University of Texas at Austin
