Abstract

"Sound, Image, Silence" provides a groundbreaking examination of the colonial Americas by exploring the special role that aural imagination played in visible representations of the New World. It masterfully fuses a diversity of work across vast social, cultural, and spatial distances, giving us both a new way of understanding sound in art and a powerful new vision of the New World.
