When I first read Stoever\u2019s \u201cThe Sonic Color-Line\u201d, I assumed it was going to be a piece all about racial oppression of African Americans in the same context that I have heard about for years now. Since cases such as Trayvon Martin and Michael brown, this has been a constant in social media and on the news. However, I quickly realized that Stoever was addressing this problem from an angle that I had never even considered before by analyzing sound and its role in racial divide. He says \u201cI meet sound where, when, and in what form I find it, not as an object of study, but as a method enabling an understanding of race as an aural experience with far- reaching historical and material resonance.\u201d This was very interesting to me as it means that he uses sound as something he can listen to in context to gather more information on racial elements of the past. I was also interested in his mentioning of \u201clinguistic profiling\u201d and how it goes beyond just black and white, but spans across all races and ethnic groups in our country. One question I would be interested in looking into more is how one can listen to music and voice without analyzing racial aspects of sound, but with no racial implications. He describes his form of listening as being able to further understand racial divide, but is there a way to listen that is \u201ccolorblind\u201d without bringing any aspect of race into analysis?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
