But there is much more to noise than what greets the ear as unwanted sound. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBeyond Unwanted Sound \u003c\/i\u003eis about noise and how we talk about it. Weaving together affect theory with cybernetics, media histories, acoustic ecology, geo-politics, sonic art practices and a range of noises, Marie Thompson critiques both the conservative politics of silence and transgressive poetics of noise music, each of which position noise as a negative phenomenon. \u003ci\u003eBeyond Unwanted Sound \u003c\/i\u003einstead aims to account for a broader spectrum of noise, ranging from the exceptional to the banal; the overwhelming to the inaudible; and the destructive to the generative. What connects these various and variable manifestations of noise is not negativity but affectivity. Building on the Spinozist assertion that to exist is to be affected, \u003ci\u003eBeyond Unwanted Sound \u003c\/i\u003easserts that to exist is to be affected by noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMarie Thompson\u003c\/b\u003e is a Lecturer in Media, Sound and Culture at Lincoln School of Film and Media, University of Lincoln, UK.
