The Drive to Listen in Ultra-Red’s Militant Sound Investigations

The final excursus turns to the work of sound-art collective Ultra-red whose focus has shifted from ambient composition to community-based practice of “militant sound investigations.” Coming out of a theoretical cocktail of Italian workerism, Freirean critical popular pedagogy, situationism, and Lacanian psychoanalysis, their investigations open up possibilities for fostering new uses of our ears beyond psychoanalytical and neoliberal modalities of listening. They question what it means to think of listening as a form of participation, especially in the context of activism.
