What are the common characteristics as well as the inconsistencies of living with and around sound in everyday life? This question drives research in this interdisciplinary area of sound studies: it propels each main chapter of this handbook into a thoroughly different world of listening, experiencing, receiving, sensing, dreaming, naming, desiring, and crafting sound. This handbook is composed of six sections: sonic artifacts; sounds and the body; habitat and sound; sonic desires; sounds and machines; and overarching sensologies. The individual chapters explore exemplary research objects and put them in the context of methodological approaches, historical predecessors, research practices, and contemporary research gaps. This volume offers therefore one of the broadest, most detailed, and instructive overviews on current research in this \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHolger Schulze is the foremost conductor of sonic anthropology. For this handbook, Maestro Schulze has assembled a chorus of many of the leading voices in Sound Studies and a range of emergent voices—junior scholars who are just breaking in on (and up) the scene, or score. There are chapters that will tantalize the listener, like Melissa Van Drie’s chapter ‘The Food,’ and other chapters that will jar you, rock you, soothe you, or leave you wondering what it was you just heard, like Tobias Ewé’s ‘The Unheard.’ The aim of The Bloomsbury Handbook of the Anthropology of Sound is to decolonialize, idiosyncratize, and sensualize our hearing as ‘humanoid aliens’ in a more-than-human world. With its sections on ‘Living with Sonic Artifacts,’ ‘Sounding Flesh,’ ‘Sonic Desires,’ and ‘Sensologies,’ this volume is as polyphonic as it is interdisciplinary, and will definitely leave the reader with the impression that the anthropology of sound is BOOMING. * David Howes, Professor of Anthropology and Co-Director of the Centre for Sensory Studies, Concordia University, Montreal, Canada *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eContributors\u003c\/i\u003e  What is an Anthropology of Sound? \u003ci\u003eHolger Schulze\u003c\/i\u003e  Part I Living with Sonic Artifacts Pulse \u003ci\u003eMichael Bull\u003c\/i\u003e 1 The Headphone \u003ci\u003eNaomi Smith \u0026amp; Anne-Marie Snider\u003c\/i\u003e 2 The File \u003ci\u003eJens Gerrit Papenburg\u003c\/i\u003e 3 The Instrument\u003ci\u003e Rolf Großmann\u003c\/i\u003e 4 The Software \u003ci\u003eKatrine Wallevik\u003c\/i\u003e Coda \u003ci\u003eSebastian Schwesinger\u003c\/i\u003e  Part II Sounding Flesh Pulse \u003ci\u003eSalomé Voegelin\u003c\/i\u003e 5 The Voice \u003ci\u003eUlrike Sowodniok\u003c\/i\u003e 6 The Food \u003ci\u003eMelissa Van Drie\u003c\/i\u003e 7 The Intimate \u003ci\u003eHolger Schulze\u003c\/i\u003e 8 The Dance \u003ci\u003eInger Damsholt\u003c\/i\u003e Coda \u003ci\u003eAstrid Ellehøj Maaløe\u003c\/i\u003e  Part III The Habitat in Sound Pulse \u003ci\u003eJean-Paul Thibaud\u003c\/i\u003e 9 The Plaza \u003ci\u003eSam Auinger \u0026amp; Dietmar Offenhuber\u003c\/i\u003e 10 The Home \u003ci\u003eJacqueline Waldock\u003c\/i\u003e 11 The Street \u003ci\u003eJuhana Venäläinen, Sonja Pöllänen \u0026amp;\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e Rajko Muršic?\u003c\/i\u003e 12 The Workplace \u003ci\u003eAndi Schoon\u003c\/i\u003e Coda \u003ci\u003eMarcel Cobussen\u003c\/i\u003e  Part IV Sonic Desires Pulse \u003ci\u003eMarie Thompson\u003c\/i\u003e 13 The Admiration \u003ci\u003eMarcus S.
