“…En el caso citado arriba, logra lo que se propone. En un sugerente artículo sobre humor masculino, el antropólogo José Limón (1992) lo experimenta mientras ensaya una explicación sobre las interacciones entre los hombres en la frontera mexicana estadounidense. En torno a una parrilla, comiendo fajitas, los informantes hacen analogías fálicas, se burlan entre ellos y reafirman discursos viriles.…”

Este libro es resultado del seminario realizado en el marco de la celebración de los 25 años del Programa de Estudios de Género de la PUCP. Es también la demostración del papel crucial de nuestra universidad en la promoción y producción de conocimiento en esta área de trabajo académico. El libro recoge aportes de importantes investigadores que forman parte de la Maestría en Estudios de Género, así como de profesores visitantes, entre los que destacan Rita Segato y Daniel Balderston. Los artículos reunidos estudian el género desde distintas perspectivas interdisciplinarias y abordan temas tales como las dimensiones de la violencia de género, la diversidad sexual, el amor romántico, la necesidad de una educación que reconozca las desigualdades de género en nuestro país y las múltiples aristas de las representaciones del género en la cultura contemporánea: el cine, los medios de comunicación masiva, los testimonios de la CVR y la tradición literaria peruana y latinoamericana.

“…Early formulations of the anthropology of sound also privileged the resonance of sound in space, extended in debates about the possibilities and limitations of “soundscape,” “acoustic ecology,” and “acoustemology” as capacious conceptual linkings of sound and spatial environments (Allen and Dawe, 2016; Born, 2013; Eisenberg, 2015, 197–98; Feld, 1996, 2015; Helmreich, 2007; Ochoa Gautier, 2016; Samuels et al., 2010). Increasingly, ethnographers have attended to the politics associated with specific sounds in specific spaces performed by racialized, gendered, and otherwise dominated peoples subject to state‐sponsored displacement and/or containment (Cardoso, 2019; Chávez, 2017; Eisenberg, 2013; Kheshti, 2015; Kunreuther, 2019; Limón, 1994; Martin, 2021; Novak, 2019; Paredes, 1958; Sakakeeny, 2013, 13–64; Zanfagna and Werth, 2021). The authors in this special section draw out theorizations from these and other vectors of the “sonic turn” and present them as central, rather than peripheral, to understandings of contemporary governance, civil society, and the public sphere.…”

This special issue began with a casual meeting at a conference in 2018 and has continued through conversations about sound, politics, public assembly, and urban space with our collaborators in anthropology, music studies, and sound studies as well as Asian, Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and Middle Eastern studies. One instructive moment along the way was a virtual meeting organized by the American Anthropological Association in 2020 called "Raising Our Voices." Invoking voice as a metaphor for political participation would not be noteworthy save for the fact that the event included little direct engagement with voice, sound, and music as political phenomena worthy of "raising our voices" about. While the 2020 conference had been scaled back in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is nevertheless telling that the roundtable we organized with many of the contributors to this issue was the only session on the program that dealt explicitly with music or sound.There is a tradition in anthropology of relegating sound to an epiphenomenal realm, as grounds for the study of language and culture, especially, but whose aesthetic, performative, and embodied dimensions only figure as "political" when bundled with explicitly political texts. Our work is part of a growing body of anthropological and ethnomusicological study that foregrounds sound as an analytic in and of itself, in relation to language and discourse but not as an afterthought. Engaging with the field of sound studies, and specifically the role of sound in "culture," we are concerned with what sounds do-sound as epistemology, as refusal, as history and liberation, as commoning and in common, the semiology of sound-and the many possibilities for politicizing the sonorous. The practices of making sound and listening to sound are theorized as manifestations of the political that are entwined with, but not reducible to, semantic content or metaphorical utility. Toward this end, we collectively draw inspiration from fields of study perennially invoked as supplemental to anthropology or marginalized for a supposed lack of analytical rigor, yet whose insights consistently yield fruitful transformations within the discipline (Allen and Jobson, 2016;Cattelino and Simpson, 2022; Chavéz and Pérez, 2022).The authors gathered here pursue how the politics of sound are enacted within and upon aggrieved communities in urban spaces across North America: Latinxs in Chicago, Black New Orleanians, Indigenous Americans in Vancouver, and alliances between Asians, Latinx, diasporic Africans, and Muslims in Los Angeles. At a dance club, a performance site, or in a funeral procession, sound has the potential to draw individuals into assembly, to create spaces of belonging or mobilize various forms of political action and collective witness, whether influencing formal politics, kindling alternative civil societies, or simply making social life in opposition to the biopolitics of individualization and atomization. We proceed from Jacques Rancière's ([2001] 2010, 36) overarching fusion of t...
