I argue that the role of sound has been largely ignored in the literature on media and everyday life resulting in systematic distortions of the meanings attached to much everyday behaviour. Sound as opposed to vision becomes the site of investigation of everyday life in this article. In focusing thus, I draw upon a range of neglected texts in order to provide a dialectical account of auditory and technologically mediated experience that avoids reductive and dichotomous categories of explanation. I propose a new evaluation of the relational nature of auditory experience whereby users manage their cognition, interpersonal behaviour and social space. The Walkman is perceived as a tool whereby users manage space, time and the boundaries around the self.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/14614440122226047","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,7,19]],"date-time":"2003-07-19T01:53:44Z","timestamp":1058579624000},"page":"179-197","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":42,"title":["The World According to Sound"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"3","author":[{"given":"MICHAEL","family":"BULL","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Sussex University"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2001,6,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","volume-title":"Introduction to the Sociology of Music","author":"Adorno, T."},{"key":"atypb2","volume-title":"The Culture Industry: Selected Essays on Mass Culture","author":"Adorno, T."},{"key":"atypb3","volume-title":"Noise: The Political Economy of Music","author":"Attali, J."},{"key":"atypb4","volume-title":"The Listener Speaks: The Radio Audience and the Future of Radio","author":"Barnett, S."},{"key":"atypb5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","volume-title":"Modernity and Ambivalence","author":"Bauman, Z.","DOI":"10.1177\/026327690007002010"},{"key":"atypb6","volume-title":"Illuminations","author":"Benjamin, W."},{"key":"atypb7","volume-title":"Sounding Out the City: Personal Stereos and the Management of Everyday Life","author":"Bull, M."},{"key":"atypb8","volume-title":"Walter Benjamin: The Colour of Experience","author":"Caygill, H."},{"key":"atypb9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","volume-title":"Migrancy, Culture and Identity","author":"Chambers, I.","DOI":"10.4324\/9780203182093"},{"key":"atypb10","volume-title":"Understanding Radio","author":"Crissell, A."},{"key":"atypb11","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","volume-title":"Society of the Spectacle","author":"Debord, G.","DOI":"10.2307\/j.ctv1453m69"},{"key":"atypb12","volume-title":"The Practice of Everyday Life","author":"De Certeau, M."},{"key":"atypb13","volume-title":"Doing Cultural Studies.
