- Used Book in Good Condition
â‚¬Å“Noise is a model of cultural historiography. . . . In its general theoretical argument on the relations of culture to economy, but also in its specialized concentration, Noise has much that is of importance to critical theory today.â‚¬Â SubStanceâ‚¬Å“For Attali, music is not simply a reflection of culture, but a harbinger of change, an anticipatory abstraction of the shape of things to come. The bookâ‚¬s title refers specifically to the reception of musics that sonically rival normative social orders. Noise is Attaliâ‚¬s metaphor for a broad, historical vanguardism, for the radical soundscapes of the western continuum that express structurally the course of social development.â‚¬Â EthnomusicologyJacques Attali is the author of numerous books, including Millennium: Winners and Losers in the Coming World Order and Labyrinth in Culture and Society.
