BUREAU FOR LISTENING

equally a real and imagined platform

investigating and promoting listening as a critical, empathic and artistic practice. We work nomadic and transdisciplinary, and strive to engage others in shared practices and projects.

Concept: Imagining Research

Methodology: The Research Title as Method

Participatory Exercise

If you have access to the chat, a piece of paper, or your notes, I would like to ask you to write imaginary research article titles about listening.

They can be serious, poetic, absurd, impossible, or critical.

For example:

• a study that should exist
• a study that cannot exist
• or a study that reveals something strange about listening and knowledge production.

CALL FOR TITLES

This is an invitation to contribute speculative research article titles for Listening Yet to Come: Research Article Titles for Listening, an ongoing artistic research project that explores how listening might be imagined, researched, and practiced otherwise. Playing on the familiar format of academic calls for articles and the heightened focus on the style and poetic of the research article title, this call asks not for completed research, but solely for titles of possible studies that do not yet exist and may not be possible to realize within current research frameworks.
