The Affective Politics of Sound

Through regenerative environmentalism, the international ecoproject scene aims to re-create human-environment relations. To do so, eco-activists reject the dominant narrative of individuation that underlies capitalist resource extraction in favor of a notion of relationality that collaboratively cocreates all life. In Greece, as elsewhere, eco-activists assert that such regeneration of relationality necessitates personal transformation. Some of them aim to raise cognitive awareness of this situatedness through embodied practices of sound healing. Framed by integrative medicine and cross-cultural transcendental spirituality, such therapeutic employment of sound aims to restore and sustain an equilibrium of energy flow. I experientially explore two specific sound-healing practices, vowel meditation and gong therapy, to show how raising awareness of affect and experiencing the relational self beyond individuation inspires open-ended personal transformation. Employed for ecosocial change, such self-transformational efforts at once reproduce what they seek to overcome and challenge dominant narratives of duality and separation. As regenerative eco-activists employ a politics of the self for a politics of belonging, they render the notion of relationality political in ontological terms and produce an affective politics of sound.

声音的情感政治

通过再生环保主义,国际生态项目旨在重建人类与环境的关系。为此,生态活动家拒绝了资本主义资源开采背后的个性化主导叙事,转而支持协作共创所有生命的关系概念。与其他地方一样,希腊的生态活动家声称,这种关系的再生需要个人的转变。其中一些旨在通过声音治疗的具体实践来提高对这种情境的认知意识。在综合医学和跨文化超验灵性的框架下,这种声音的治疗运用旨在恢复和维持能量流的平衡。我体验性地探索了两种具体的声音治疗实践,元音冥想和锣疗法,以展示提高情感意识和体验超越个性化的关系自我如何激发开放式的个人转变。这种自我变革的努力致力于生态社会变革,同时再现了他们寻求克服和挑战二元性和分离的主流叙事的目标。当再生生态活动家运用自我政治来实现归属政治时,他们用本体论的术语呈现了关系性的政治概念,并产生了一种声音的情感政治。
