Sociology, as an experimental science, can embrace the aesthetic practices of sounding and listening as fundamental elements in shaping sociological theory. This approach aligns with the emerging trends of new materialist and speculative philosophies, which view the social world as intricately interconnected and shaped by diverse forces. In this interdisciplinary study, sociology, philosophical thought, and aesthetic practices are intertwined, rather than being treated as separate fields of inquiry. They co-constitute each other, forming a holistic and dynamic understanding of society.
Furthermore, this research incorporates an audio chapter, which serves as a unique and engaging way to reflect on the sonic experimentations at the core of the research. Through the use of sound, the study offers a fresh perspective on the social world, allowing listeners to immerse themselves in the research's findings and engage with the topics in a novel and immersive manner.
In conclusion, by incorporating aesthetic practices of sounding and listening into sociology, this study pioneers a new direction for the field. It demonstrates the potential of interdisciplinary approaches to understanding society and offers a rich tapestry of insights that challenge traditional sociological paradigms. The audio chapter adds an innovative dimension to the research, making it accessible and engaging to a broader audience, while also contributing to the ongoing dialogue between sociology, philosophy, and the arts.
