Xochitl Marsilli-Vargas explains how psychoanalytic listening practices have expanded beyond the clinical setting to influence everyday social interactions in Buenos Aires.
"Marsilli-Vargas’s book is an exemplary ethnography, weaving together rich empirical materials with a deeply contextualised case-study to develop novel theoretical insights on a topic of central concern to Sound Studies. . . . Marsilli-Vargas develops important conceptual tools for a nuanced understanding of listening while making a significant contribution to fields such cultural history, Latin American Studies, and the anthropology of sound."
