In an epoch of climate crisis, environment is no longer a neutral background, site, or simple \"surrounding\" environment is immanently implicated in the chains of mediation that make up the material and imaginative infrastructure of our lives. The analytical task of\u003ci\u003e Geosonics \u003c\/i\u003eis to tune into that infrastructure through sound. Drawing on influential work in sound studies around the concept of transduction, this book explores how listening does not take place in a pre-existing soundscape, but rather makes place by etching out a mediated, mutually constitutive set of relations between listeners, media, and environments.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJoshua Dittrich\u003c\/b\u003e teaches creative non-fiction and media studies at the Institute for Communication, Culture, Information \u0026amp; Technology at the University of Toronto, Mississauga, Canada.
