Acoustic Interculturalism Listening to Performance

'Marcus Cheng Chye Tan's compelling book, Acoustic Interculturalism, is a necessary reminder that too often we hear but don't listen. Noting the general lack of attention to sound in theatre and performance studies, Tan advocates the merits of deep listening and a phenomenological approach to sound as a means of analyzing intercultural performance... a vital challenge to theatre and performance studies with relevance to all forms of cultural expression engaging with the acoustic.' - David Butler, New Theatre Quarterly
