Latest issue of Australian Humanities Review has a bunch of good stuff in it, including an essay by me on the state of criticism in the neoliberal university

‘Silence is a taboo in mass media today—technical and economical. If the signal is too low, an alarm function switches on an emergency program to fill the gap’ writes Dieter Daniels in AHR70’s special section ‘Seventy Years of Four Minutes, Thirty-three Seconds.’
In ‘Fifteen Million Merits,’ an episode of Black Mirror, Bing must use merits earned from hard-earned pedalling to temporarily mute the surround-sound noise of his sleeping cell. In the rental car, I can ‘mute’ but I cannot turn the sound off.

Out now AHR70 (November 2022) and it is all about sound and silence. It features a special section titled ‘Seventy Years of Four Minutes, Thirty-three Seconds’ about the reach of John Cage’s 4’33”. Happy Reading! @monique_rooney (AHR editor)
