★美國當代最負盛名的藝術文化評論家納托．湯普森，對當代文化危機提出最銳利的反思 ★《洛杉磯時報》、《時代雜誌》、《出版人週刊》、《柯克斯書評》一致讚譽川普當選那一夜，全球迷漫著似乎就要天下大亂的氛圍，但事實上，大選結果公佈，你回頭過頭繼續去過你的日常生活。房價、物價在疫後不停飆漲，通膨來到新至高點，心知肚明買不起也租不起的未來即將來到，但為何大眾還是無法從擁房夢中清醒？一則建案完銷廣告就讓你置身危機？手機與社群平台侵入你的私人生活，記錄著你的一舉一動以及走過的足跡，但你怕的卻不是它監控了你，而是沒有更新到最新、最齊全的功能？ 這世界出了問題，你心知肚明。但為何在特定議題上，似乎所有人都無法抽身，並理性選擇？作者納托．湯普森，以清晰的歷史脈絡，鋒利且批判的筆觸，在本書中漫談現今文化令人擔憂的種種現象。從好萊塢到華府，麥迪遜大道與摩蘇爾戰場；甚至是滲入日常生活的消費文化――如房地產、個人電腦、手機；以及大眾文化――社群媒體、流行娛樂音樂、通俗藝術與高尚藝術等。 誰握有權力，就能透過環境與產業模式能塑造文化。文化能形塑思考模式，而思考模式能誘導行為與決定。納托．湯普森洞悉此道，因此提出，藉由部署文化現象來攻略人心，已經成為無所不在的武器，足以深刻影響所有人的全面日常，導致群體行為總是缺乏客觀。 本書試圖透過文化研究來回答，人們為何在這樣的文化現象操作下，容易缺乏理性，導致幾近呈現出被操控的樣態。從權力如何塑造與影響文化來解讀權力，你會從中發現一些不得不省思的危機。

In this book, leading scholars explore the spatialisation of music and sound, their capacity to engender modes of publicness and privacy, their constitution of subjectivity, and the politics of sound and space. Chapters discuss music and sound in relation to distinctive genres, technologies and settings, including sound installation art, popular music recordings, offices and hospitals, and music therapy. With international examples, from the Islamic soundscape of the Kenyan coast, to religious music in Europe, to First Nation musical sociability in Canada, this book offers a new global perspective on how music and sound and their spatialising capacities transform the n
