- ‘Spanish Sound Studies’ is the first collection of essays in Spanish cultural studies to take sound itself as its critical point of departure. It explores the ways in which sound and listening have been integral to Spain’s modernization. This special issue departs from the reigning paradigms in the emergent sound studies discipline in Spain, in that it does not aim to offer a comprehensive view of the sound cultures of Spain, nor to translate existing research on the sound cultures of Europe to the Spanish context. Instead, this volume aims to use the peculiarities of Spain’s sonic geographies revealed through analysis as a starting point to raise new and unique questions that will contribute to the broader development of the field of sound studies, and to cultural studies at large. The contributors to this volume place the study of sound cultures in Spain in dialogue with research carried out in other geographies and disciplines. Rather than focusing on a particular cultural medium, this special issue takes sound itself as the critical starting point. In taking sound as both the object of study and as a method through which to explore Spanish culture, this special issue seeks to establish a field of “Spanish sound studies”. Llano’s article, titled “Noising Forth Social Change: The Orfeón Socialista de Madrid, 1900-1936,” represents an innovative contribution in that it conceptualises choral singing as a productive form of noise. In this way, this article disrupts the established binary associations noise-pollution, sound-cleanliness, and opens the door for the innovative use of noise as a critical category to study social change. The co-editors have worked jointly throughout the editorial process, and have shared evenly the task of commissioning and editing the articles, and co-writing the introduction.
