Noise of Placards - The Proximity of Protest

Abstract

This chapter takes a walk through a politicized sonorous landscape to analyze the blurred sound of protest aimed against globalization amidst a background of active consumerism. Using a temporal, physical, and geographically shifting figure such as a walk, I aim to identify varying stages of proximity relating to the words that are shouted or sung by a protesting crowd, and particularly how these proximities affect the symbolic identity of these words of protest. The essay is part of the book The Tigers Mind by Beatrice Gibson
