Embodied Listening as Social Practice

A practice-based research project exploring how listening operates as a socially and temporally situated mode of perception.

It investigates how sound, movement, and relational encounters generate embodied ways of knowing across different social and cultural contexts.

Rather than treating listening as synchronous perception, this research attends to its temporal displacements, delays, and misalignments, where memory, presence, and relation unfold asynchronously across bodies, spaces, and technologies.

Methodological Orientation

This research develops a practice-based methodology grounded in:

field recording as temporal documentation
embodied and movement-based listening
affective fieldwork and relational encounters
voice, testimony, and fragmented narration
delayed, reflective forms of ethnographic writing

---

This research does not treat listening as a transparent act of perception, but as a situated and asynchronous practice through which social relations, memory, and embodied experience are continually produced and misaligned.

It proposes that knowledge emerges not through synchronisation between subject and world, but through temporal gaps, delays, and affective disjunctions that shape how bodies, spaces, and voices come to be understood.
