From the 1930s onwards, animal sound recording started to flourish with the development of portable magnetic tape recorders that facilitated proximity to wild animals.As animal recordings and interest in them began to grow, wildlife sound archives emerged as new sites of specialist scientific data sets. To date, these archived recordings remain of relevance, from their commercial application in Apps, fi lms, and computer games, to their ongoing use in ecological monitoring for environmental conservation.
Focusing on the two largest wildlife sound archives in Europe, the British Library’s Wildlife and Environmental Sounds collection, and the Animal Sound Archive at the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin, this presentation interrogates the role of sound recording technologies in mediating knowledge of animal lives.
Das GEO|KOLLOQUIUM findet im HS 11.03. statt.
