Abstract: This project was conducted during the directed reading workshop hosted by Prof. Wang at Renmin University on STS studies. It used archival study to link the emerging theoretical turn in STS - sound studies and media history, and found that (1) the sound of ancient opera could contribute to shaping the embodied experience of audience; (2) various kinds of social relationships were mediated by the sound due to its features as a medium.
The full paper generated by the project is going to be presented on the 2021 Annual Convention of JCA-China : Wang, Y. & Fan, Y. (2021). Listening to Chinese Ancient Opera: Linking Media History and Sound Studies. Paper presented to the Annual Conference of the Chinese Association for History of Journalism and Communication.
