Book Description
Love really does kill. Running from his abusive Dad, seventeen-year-old Kyle skips out on his old life and searches for a new one far from his old home. Travelling halfway across the country, Kyle ends up in St. Clement, where he meets Matias, a boy who likes him. It’s all fun and games at the beginning; you have the sights, the people, and the new culture. It’s all wonderful until the pressures of adulthood creep in, and Kyle is confronted with some difficult decisions. After some tough calls, both boys get involved in the gritty underworld of St. Clement. The romance is cut short, and the adventure turns to terror as they are forced to go on the run. They’ll have to do some horrible things that they are not proud of to stay alive.

Dumbstruck - A Cultural History of Ventriloquism
Author: Steven Connor
Publisher: OUP Oxford
ISBN: 0191541842
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 458
Book Description
Why can none of us hear our own recorded voice without wincing? Why is the telephone still full of such spookiness and erotic possibility? Why does the metaphor of ventriloquism, the art of 'seeming to speak where one is not', speak so resonantly to our contemporary technological condition? These are the kind of questions which impel Steven Connor's wide-ranging, restlessly inquisitive history of ventriloquism and the disembodied voice. He tracks his subject from its first recorded beginnings in ancient Israel and Greece, through the fulminations of early Christian writers against the unholy (and, they believed, obscenely produced) practices of pagan divination, the aberrations of the voice in mysticism, witchcraft and possession, and the strange obsession with the vagrant figure of the ventriloquist, newly conceived as male rather than female, during the Enlightenment. He retrieves the stories of some of the most popular and versatile ventriloquists and polyphonists of the nineteenth century, and investigates the survival of ventriloquial delusions and desires in spiritualism and the 'vocalic uncanny' of technologies like telephone, radio, film, and internet. Learned but lucid, brimming with anecdote and insight, this is much more than an archaeology of one of the most regularly derided but tenaciously enduring of popular arts. It is also a series of virtuoso philosophical and psychological reflections on the problems and astonishments, the raptures and absurdities of the unhoused voice.

Sound Affects
Author: Sharon Jane Mee
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1501388894
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
Sound Affects: A User's Guide is a collection of sonically-charged concepts ranging from those felt, 'heard' and repeated (silence, the oriental riff, shuffle), to the vocal (whispers, sing, the disembodied voice), to sounds at the threshold (tin/ny, thump, buzz) to sounds beyond the limits of audibility (inaudible tremors, distortion, sub-bass). Sound Affects invites the reader to reflect on the ways that sounds produce affects and the ways that affects can operate as sound. Each of the entries develops a particular perspective on sound and affect through a close analysis of audiovisual and/or sonic objects. The objects chosen not only illustrate the concept in question but also demonstrate how the object encourages us to rethink the relationships between sounds and affects. Influenced by the sound theory of Eugenie Brinkema (2011), the concepts of Sound Affects plot the shift in volume from silence that opens up a space to be heard to the audibly near, from the audibly near to sounds beyond the limits of audibility. Sound Affects is an intellectual adventure for those who theorize and listen. The book can also be enjoyed as a narrative of sounds, its absences and its shifting intensities.
