In \u003ci\u003eThe Voice and Its Doubles\u003c\/i\u003e Daniel Fisher analyzes the great success of this endeavor, asking what is at stake in the sounds of such media for Aboriginal Australians. Drawing on long-term ethnographic research in northern Australia, Fisher describes the close proximity of musical media, shifting forms of governmental intervention, and those public expressions of intimacy and kinship that suffuse Aboriginal Australian social life. Today's Aboriginal media include genres of country music and hip-hop; radio requests and broadcast speech; visual graphs of a digital audio timeline; as well as the statistical media of audience research and the discursive and numerical figures of state audits and cultural policy formation. In each of these diverse instances the mediatized voice has become a site for overlapping and at times discordant forms of political, expressive, and institutional creativity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniel Fisher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/29\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.10w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822360896\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDaniel Fisher is Assistant Professor of Anthropology at the University of California, Berkeley, and the coeditor of \u003ci\u003eRadio Fields: Anthropology and Wireless Sound in the 21st Century\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Duke University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":40198628802675,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":96.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_b58d5e8b-e409-413b-997a-c4a5c59c9002.jpg?v=1656079535","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/the-voice-and-its-doubles-media-and-music-in-northern-australia-9780822360896","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
