Press blurb: In *Genres of Listening* Xochitl Marsilli-Vargas explores a
unique culture of listening and communicating in Buenos Aires. She traces
how psychoanalytic listening circulates beyond the clinical setting to
become a central element of social interaction and cultural production in
the city that has the highest number of practicing psychologists and
psychoanalysts in the world. Marsilli-Vargas develops the concept of genres
of listening to demonstrate that hearers listen differently, depending on
where, how, and to whom they are listening. In particular, she focuses on
psychoanalytic listening as a specific genre. *Porteños* (citizens of
Buenos Aires) have developed a “psychoanalytic ear” that emerges during
conversational encounters in everyday interactions in which participants
offer different interpretations of the hidden meaning the words carry.
Marsilli-Vargas does not analyze these interpretations as impositions or
interruptions but as productive exchanges. By outlining how psychoanalytic
listening operates as a genre, Marsilli-Vargas opens up ways to imagine
other modes of listening and forms of social interaction.
