color:black">This Special Issue of Resonance calls for papers, commentaries, theories, and archival finding aids that examine the implementation
of “soundwork” in historical and contemporary forms of media activism. By soundwork we call upon Michele Hilmes’ definition, as “creative/constructed texts that employ basic sonic elements of speech, music, and noise, in relation to but different than music.”
When considered as a component of activist strategy, research into soundwork helps to elucidate the sonic dimensions of efforts to assert and reclaim control over the cultural, historical, and technological legacies of human expression as organized struggle,
as well as ongoing contests over the management and meaning of systems of contemporary cultural production. Calling upon Charles Hale and Shan Mukhtar, we define activism as methods through which social, cultural, and political agents have “aligned to allow
dialogue to shape each phase of the process” (Hale) of social change, while “intentionally embracing discomfort and risk in order to organize for a larger ethical purpose” (Muhktar). We argue that soundwork plays and has always played a central and under-examined
role in political activism, taking many forms from community organizing radio broadcasts, to the sounds of a protest, to tactile performative disruptions of sensory spaces, to non- lexemic transmission of meaning in everyday life.</span><span style="mso-ascii-font-family:

and Film and Media Studies. We strongly support pluralistic research, and are interested in interdisciplinary, multi-methodological, and creative works that engage the question of activism and soundwork across local, national, and transnational contexts that
cover issues in race, gender, orientation, class, embodiment, and public participation. We are open to proposals to submit short interviews with sound artists and activists, please contact Resonance (<a href="mailto:resonance@ucpress.edu" target="_blank"><span style="color:#1155CC">resonance@ucpress.edu</span></a>)
