Description:
To familiarize yourself with this book, imaging our culture as a vast band of static, buzzing white noise. To hear anything definite, a listener needs to sort out the frequencies, adjust the volume, and tune into certain wavelengths. At his point, the metaphor may appear naive because culture is far more than an auditory experience. Without our participation, culture seems an undifferentiated morass of individual and institutional practices and policies; natural catastrophes; political events; geographic regions; diverse ethnic, racial, and sexual groups; specific urban, suburban, and rural populations; and visual media bombardments.
