3- ON LISTENING #1:  Is sound an object or an event?
<http://rwm.macba.cat/en/research/on-listening-1/capsula>

Can we think through listening? Seth-Kim Cohen, Christoph Cox, Julian
Henriques, Casey O’Callaghan, Peter Szendy and Salomé Voegelin help us to
explore philosophy’s seeming difficulty in grappling with listening and its
counterpart – sound – as a powerful deconstructive means to cut through
some of the philosophical certainties that underpin classical and modern
Western thought.
