Summary The contributors to 'Remapping Sound Studies' intervene in current trends and practices in sound
studies by reorienting the field toward the global South. Attending to disparate aspects of sound in
Africa, South and Southeast Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, Micronesia, and a Southern
outpost in the global North, this volume broadens the scope of sound studies and challenges some of
the field's central presuppositions. The contributors show how approaches to and uses of technology
across the global South complicate narratives of technological modernity and how sound-making and
listening in diverse global settings unsettle familiar binaries of sacred/secular, private/public,
human/nonhuman, male/female, and nature/culture. Exploring a wide range of sonic phenomena
and practices, from birdsong in the Marshall Islands to Zulu ululation, the contributors offer diverse
ways to remap and decolonize modes of thinking about and listening to sound.
