A critical engagement with cinema in Italy; this book examines the national archive of film based on sound and listening using a holistic audio-visual approach. Sisto shifts the sensory paradigm of film history and analysis from the optical to the sonic; demonstrating how this translates into a shift of canonical narratives and interpretations.

That is this entire collection. The best writing is writing that gives form to what you thought could only live amorphously in your brain; or even what you never even consciously thought until you read the words. Chinaka Hodge is an actual genius; and I dont use that word lightly.There is a section of 24 haiku; one for each year of Biggies life. I didnt think it could get more amazing than that. Then the next section was 2pac couplets; one for each year he lived. There are poems deeply personal; and still deeply resonant. Gut punches that remind us of the cost of living in a world that values the illusion of whiteness and tries to destroy what it deems is not.This is for hip hop fans. This is for poetry fans. This is for black women. This is for me; a woman of color. This is for you; whoever you are.
