{"product_id":"the-gender-of-sound","title":"The Gender of Sound","description":"History is filled with unacceptable noises: high pitch, gossip, talkativeness, hysteria, wailing and ritual shouts. Who makes them? Those deviant from or deficient in the masculine ideal of self-control: women, catamites, eunuchs and androgynes fall into this category. From the myths of antiquity to Margaret Thatcher via Sigmund Freud and Gertrude Stein, The Gender of Sound charts the gendering of voice through Western culture. This enquiry into the way we hear sounds invites reimagining our conceptions of human order, virtue and selfhood. Putting a door on the female mouth has been an important project of patriarchal culture from antiquity to the present day. Its chief tactic is an ideological association of female sound with monstrosity, disorder and death.\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eAuthor: Carson, Anne,author\u003cbr\u003eContributors: Carson, Anne,author\u003cbr\u003eBinding: paperback\u003cbr\u003eNumber Of Pages: 150\u003cbr\u003ePublication Date: \u003cbr\u003eRelease Date: \u003cbr\u003eLanguages: English,Published,English,Original Language\u003cbr\u003ePublished\/Release Date: 14 Apr 2025\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003ePublisher\/Studio\/Brand: Silver Press\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Director\/Artist: Anne Carson\u003cbr\u003eDimension (cm): 198x129x3 mm\u003cbr\u003ePackage Dimension (cm): 7x159x112 mm\u003cbr\u003eItem Weight (g): -1\u003cbr\u003ePackage Weight (g): 40","brand":"Silver Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53368601903401,"sku":"BK1739371798","price":57.86,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/5868\/0105\/files\/41OT5HRXOpL_78eaa486-894e-44ef-8aa6-ff9c148c7688.jpg?v=1785485161","url":"https:\/\/www.centloop.com\/products\/the-gender-of-sound","provider":"Centloop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
