Can You Hear the Salt Listening-In Upon an Indigenous, Local Tympanum
摘要
This chapter examines the sonic textures of Chidzimbahwe life, positioning Sound as a progenitor of knowing and knowledge. Through everyday language and listening practices, I outline a Terra-Ancestral Ontology in which Earth co-produces being and meaning of life. Sound emerges as a multisensory, multi-species event, and listening becomes an ethical practice of custodianship. This decentering of the human ear opens the field to ancestral vibrational phenomena—where sonic encounters blur boundaries between species, elements, and timescales.
