The Audible Past explores the cultural origins of sound reproduction. It describes a distinctive sound culture that gave birth to the sound recording and transmission devices so ubiquitous in modern life. With an ear for the unexpected, scholar and musician Jonathan Sterne uses the technological and cultural precursors of telephony, phonography, and radio as an entry point into a history of sound in its own right. Sterne studies the constantly shifting boundary between phenomena organized as "sound" and "not sound." In The Audible Past, this history crisscrosses the liminal regions between bodies and machines, originals and copies, nature and culture, and life and death.
Blending cultural studies and the history of communication technology, Sterne follows modern sound technologies back through a historical labyrinth. Along the way, he encounters capitalists and inventors, musicians and philosophers, embalmers and grave-robbers, doctors and patients, Deaf children and their teachers, professionals and hobbyists, folklorists and tribal singers. The Audible Past tracks the connections between the history of sound and the defining features of modernity: from developments in medicine, physics, and philosophy to the tumultuous shifts of industrial capitalism, colonialism, urbanization, modern technology, and the rise of a new middle class.
A provocative history of sound, The Audible Past challenges theoretical commonplaces such as the philosophical privilege of the speaking subject, the visual bias in theories of modernity, and static descriptions of nature. It will interest those in cultural studies, media and communication studies, the new musicology, and the history of technology.

讀瞭序言，從“黑暗”走嚮“光明”的“enlightenment”是一種基於視覺的隱喻，聽覺和聲音維度在現代化過程中的曆史被忽略，作者試圖將聲音可轉碼為介的復製技術的曆史與更廣泛的“現代性”和文化史相對接，書寫“可聽見的過去”和“ensoniment”。主要結論包括：聲音具有主體和曆史建構性，是介於自然和文化之間的；視與聽過度相關，固化瞭視聽二元結構；鼓膜的發現是聲音與其本源分離，成為可復製客體的根本基礎，也是所有現代化聲音的産生源頭；對聲音的保存與對身體和食物的保存齣自同一種文化動機；聽診器和中産階級對於距離和私密性的文化要求有關。
