Minuting. Rethinking the Ordinary Through the Ritual of Transversal Listening
- 2021

Ingår i: VIS. - : Society for Artistic Research. - 2003-024X. ; :5
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This exploratory essay introduces selected sound recordings along with notes and observations from Minuting – a practice of sonic journaling I have performed daily since July 2010 in numerous locations and settings. I weave these observations together in a way that resonates closely with the idea of repetition, in multiple forms: protest, automation, cycle, and ritual, as well as the repetition inherent to my acts of recording. While introducing sounds from the archive of Minuting, I reflect on how this constrained and systematically enacted form of listening, recording, and re-listening leads to a transversal type of sonic reflexivity. It is a form of alertness to sound that stretches beyond the immediate resonance of the 'now' – towards spatially and temporarily distant, yet to some extent intertwined, objects, subjects, events, and environments. The text evolves across three interrelated layers: annotated recordings from the project's archive, a set of thoughts and associations triggered by re-listening to the material, and a discursive analysis that opens up the project to a dialogue with other thematically resonant debates and practices. Drawing on perspectives from media studies, the philosophy of technology, sound studies and durational art, I discuss Minuting as an art work, a creative constraint and a transversal listening practice. Lastly, I propose it as an existential media technique for composing critical and reflective positions towards one's surrounding space, experience of time, and use of sound technologies.

Acoustethics: Careful Approaches to Recorded Sounds and Their Second Life
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Prace Kulturoznawcze. - : Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Wroclawskiego. - 0860-6668. ; 26:1, s. 11-33
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article attempts to rethink some problematic ways and motivations for engaging in (field) recording and working with recorded sounds. Interweaving reflections from my long-term soundscape archiving initiative undertaken in Stockholm, with projects of others aiming at preserving cultures through sound, I reflect upon ethical challenges that emerge against the prospect of second and following lives and deaths of recordings. Does the second life of a recorded event risk replicating power relationships that the original recording was enmeshed in? What can be gained and, more importantly, lost while conceiving a second life of a recorded sound? This article intends to open up an array of such questions which, as I suggest, need to be taken into consideration already before and during the recording process. As a discursive tool that does not resolve those concerns but instead creates space for critical reflection, I propose a concept of acoustethics. In a nutshell, acoustethics, as this portmanteau of acoustics and ethics suggests, is an ethically informed approach to the world’s soundscapes. I argue that any kind of engagement with the auditory world through recording technologies requires careful consideration of multiple agencies contributing to the recorded sound. As a reflective attitude to the sonic realm, acoustethics acknowledges that any recording takes place within already existing fields of relations and simultaneously generates new links between subjects, histories, worldviews, technologies, and other forces. In other words, any recording is intrinsically field recording.

Bokkapitel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- The ore, the forest and the hydropower of the northern Sami territories (nowadays the northernmost part of Sweden) have for a long time been essential to the unsustainable life of luxury that many people, perhaps even you, lead today.The question in the title – asking who you are in Lule Sami, Swedish and Meänkieli – is about exactly this. Do you remember your foremothers and forefathers, what part they played in this history? Which role, based on all that has happened, is now yours? Let’s break it down into smaller parts. And begin with a question about joy: What makes you feel joy, and is that feeling connected to some kind of consumerism? How do you live? In what kind of building? Where does the water that you drink come from, where does the food processed by your body end up? What is your daily mode of transport? Are you a permanent resident under the control of the Swedish State or do you move freely as you wish? How does all of this connect with the culture you live in? Have you ever considered what Swedish culture really is? And how Swedish culture is being defined through words, images, and stories, through the history you were told, or perhaps through the history you were not told?I want to invite you along on a voyage of reversed perspectives. During which you, as you are today, have to contort yourself to remember – in order to understand who you are, who you have become, and how this depends on what your predecessors did and said. ‘Sweden’ has not always been. Modern Sweden – that is the Kingdom of Sweden – was established as a colonial nation state in the 16th century. Up until then the Sámi were influential and powerful. But, concurrently with other European colonisation processes taking place across the world, Sweden also became an assertive colonial state; an empire founded on the colonisation of the Sámi territories.

Bokkapitel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Malmen, skogen och vattenkraften, i de nordliga samiska territorierna, (och numera de nordligaste delarna av Sverige) har under lång tid varit förutsättningen för den vällevnad och ohållbara livsstil som många människor, kanske även du, upprätthåller idag.Titelfrågan – om vem du är – på (lule)samiska, svenska och meänkieli, handlar om just detta. Minns du dina förmödrar och förfäder, och vilken del de har haft i denna historia? Vilken roll, som bygger på det som hänt, är, i nutiden, din? Låt oss bryta ner detta i lite mindre delar. Vi börjar med en fråga om glädje: Vad får dig att känna glädje och är den känslan kopplad till något slags konsumtion? Hur lever du? I vilken slags byggnad, varifrån kommer vattnet du dricker, vart tar maten du processat genom din kropp vägen? Hur färdas du dagligen? Är du fastboende och under svenska statens kontroll eller förflyttar du dig fritt som du vill? Och hur hänger detta ihop med den kultur du lever i? Har du funderat något på vad svensk kultur egentligen är? Hur svensk kultur formuleras i ord, bild, berättelser, i historien du fått lära dig, eller kanske den historia du inte fått lära dig?Jag vill ta dig med på en perspektivvändarresa. Där du, som den du är idag, får vrida och vända på dig för att minnas – och därmed förstå vem du är, vem du blivit, beroende på vad dina föregångare gjort och sagt.Sverige har inte alltid varit. Sverige – Svea rike – som modern kolonialstat skapades på 1500-talet. Fram till dess var samer inflytelserika och mäktiga. Parallellt med de europeiska kolonisationsprocesserna runtom i världen blev även Sverige en stark kolonialstat, ett imperie, grundat på just kolonisationen av de samiska territorierna.

Soundscapes as archives : Traces and absences of the aural past in Vancouver
- 2021
-
Ingår i: Seismograf. - : Seismograf Peer. - 2245-4705.
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper and its audio component are based on research that accompanied my work on Intertidal Room, a site-responsive and time-specific soundwalk composition.* It was developed in summer 2020 to be listened to during low tides while walking along Vancouver's shoreline. The composition explores how the entanglement of historical, environmental, and cultural processes at the city's intertidal zones has been reflected in their present soundscapes. This audio paper focuses more closely on the part concerned with Vancouver and British Columbia's colonial history. It features reflections from my fieldwork, fragments of conversations with Candace Campo, my guide to Vancouver's indigenous history, alongside field recordings from the intertidal zones. Overall, Intertidal Room is an attempt to practically engage in rethinking and reconfiguring some of the assumptions that have underlain the field of acoustic ecology and soundscape studies as conceptualized and practiced by the World Soundscape Project.With this audio paper and the extended abstract below, I propose that besides manifesting the acoustically present, soundscapes should also be heard as specific archives that comprise both traces and absences of the aural past. If carefully attended to, practices of listening, soundwalking, and soundscape composition can obtain the function of aesthetic and critical modes through which we can sense, access, work with, and give justice to these contested archives of the aural.

A Chest in the Attic
- 2019
-
Konstnärligt arbeteabstract
- When the attic of the Huseby estate house was cleaned in 2008, a large wooden chest was found. It had not been opened since being sealed in India and shipped to Sweden in 1869. Its contents reveal a world of knowledge that changes how we understand the history of colonial India and of Småland 150 years ago, and how these histories intertwine. Joseph Stephens grows up in a British family shaped by the global transformations of the nineteenth century. Joseph was born in Stockholm and, when he is 11 years old, moved to Copenhagen where his father George, folklorist and runologist, had taken up a position at the university. In 1859, at the age of 19, Joseph leaves for Bombay. This is an important port city and a world-leading metropole of trade and finance. Here, Joseph is trained to become a civil engineer under his brother-in-law, an engineer working on one of the world’s largest infrastructure projects: the railways. In the 1860s the Great Indian Peninsula Railway Company (G.I.P.R.) was constructing the trunk lines between India’s trade metropoles, Bombay and Calcutta. The large railway network will eventually interconnect the colonial economy, transporting passengers, goods and troops across the continent. Joseph soon becomes a subcontractor and mobilises labourers and material for smaller projects. After some time he set up his own firm: Joseph Stephens & Company.

Nuclear waste culture : projecting the past into the invisible deep future. A conversation with Ele Carpenter.
- 2022

Ingår i: Commodity Frontiers: Journal of the Commodity Frontier Initiative. - : Brown University Library. ; :4, s. 36-44

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The Nuclear Culture project of Ele Carpenter is the overarching title for her curatorial research into art and nuclear culture covering the full material trace of radioactive materials from uranium mining, energy and weapons production, decommissioning and waste. The curatorial process involves working closely with artists and a range of nuclear contexts, carrying out field research, commissioning new artworks, curating exhibitions and hosting roundtable discussions and symposia. The project started in 2011 when Carpenter was invited to talk about how artists might respond to submarine dismantling by the Submarine Dismantling Project Advisory Group (SDPAG) who were advising the British Ministry of Defence on how to take apart and store their old laid up nuclear submarines, some of which still have their old reactors on board. This article is a conversation between Maarten Vanden Eynde and Ele Carpenter about the urgency of nuclear visibility and deep time responsibility of radioactive waste in a period of increasing insurmountability.
