520 |a Review text: »Versuche, historische Soundscapes zu analysieren, sehen sich mit dem nicht umgehbaren Problem konfrontiert, dass die Klangumwelten selbst als Gegenstand nicht direkt erfahrbar sind, sondern über verschiedene Medialisierungen, vornehmlich über textuelle Quellen, vermittelt werden. Der vorliegende Sammelband nimmt sich dieses Problems auf methodisch innovative Weise an.« Jan-Friedrich Missfelder, H-Soz-u-Kult, 24.09.2013 Besprochen in: GMK-Newsletter, 4 (2013) 
520 |a Main description: We cannot simply listen to our urban past. Yet we encounter a rich cultural heritage of city sounds presented in text, radio and film. How can such »staged sounds« express the changing identities of cities? This volume presents a collection of studies on the staging of Amsterdam, Berlin and London soundscapes in historical documents, radio plays and films, and offers insights into themes such as film sound theory and museum audio guides. In doing so, this book puts contemporary controversies on urban sound in historical perspective, and contextualises iconic presentations of cities. It addresses academics, students, and museum workers alike.
