What we hear, and what we do not hear, what we notice and what we do not notice is not only determined by our physiological aural capacities but by a complex intermingling of social, cultural, political and technological factors. The different contributions to this project focus on artistic and literary works that concentrate on the unheard sonic spectrum of the present and the past. The cultural, social or political phenomena questioned here are related to frequencies below and beyond the threshold of perception, to overlapping sound fields or to auditory distraction. The sounds they make use of or express have been obliterated, disguised, “drowned”. Listening to the unheard thus means to reveal or seek explanation for the silencing, concealment or disappearance of these sounds. In doing so, we hope to develop strategies for making them audible.&#160;Besides this dimension of lack of perception, of ignorance or of disregard, we will analyze another subliminal meaning associated with the unheard, especially when it meets the unheard-of: what is “surprising because not known about or previously experienced”. Thus the sense of the hidden and of discretion is confronted with the sense of the unprecedented as well as the shocking. Sound – quiet versus loud, past versus suddenly appearing, unnoticed versus outrageous: the contradictory interpretations and meanings of the unheard(-of) will be questioned by French and German scholars based on linguistic surveys on the connection and dissociations between “non-entendu”, “inécouté” and “inoui”, as well as between the “ungehört” and the “unerhört”.&#160;When is the unheard inverted into the unheard-of, when do both meanings overlap? How can sound be at once discreet and shocking, in other words, what is the shocking dimension of discreet sound? The collective publication Sound Unheard will include contributions from scholars in sound studies, art history, media studies and art theory. The articles will appear in the Auditory Perspectivessection of the e-journal Kunsttexte. The publication will be prepared by workshops as well as exhibitions and the publication is scheduled in autumn 2019.&#160;Authors:Clélia Barbut - Université Sorbonne Nouvelle Paris 3 and Rennes 2Daniele Balit - ISBA BesançonSeverine Cauchy - Université Rennes 2Larisa Dryansky - Sorbonne-UniversitéKatja Gentric - Université de BourgogneJeff Guess - ENSAPC Paris-CergyMatthieu Saladin - Université Paris 8Sabine Sanio - Universität der Künste BerlinYann Sérandour - Université Rennes 2Daniela Silvestrin - Leuphana Universität LüneburgJan Thoben - Universität der Künste BerlinElvan Zabunyan - Université Rennes 2Anne Zeitz - Université Rennes 2&#160;&#160;
