Abstract:
This article combines the concept of “sound landscape” proposed by R. Murray Schafer, the
father of ecological soundscape, and the “sociological imagination” presented by American sociologist C.
Wright Mills, which aims to connect everyone’s situation to public social issues. Dig deep into the whole
process of inquiry. In the public space where we live together, ordinary people take things for granted,
such as the sound of motor vehicle horns on the city’s streets and the white noise of living and residential
spaces. However, when life falls into the logic of the vicious circle of “some people have problems, many
people talk more,” the different sounds of the city’s high and low decibels are “invisible killers” that bring
people to health. From the “sound moralism” of public space, the article allows us to examine the general
environment where people are not friendly, the living conditions are not suitable for living, whether
people ignore the noise environment that they are accustomed to, but it has become exceptionally valued
by the people in developed countries. The primary conditions of a livable environment and the overall
feeling of living, as R. Murray Schafer once said, “Our ears are not plugged, and we are always destined to
listen, but this does not mean that we have open ears” At the end of the article, the research team shared
the sound damage treatment process and clinical experience from the 10 cases of Misophonia patients
tracked in the past three years from the mental and psychological levels.
本文从生态声景学之父R. Murray Schafer 提出的“声音地景”概念结合美国社会学家C. Wright Mills 所提出的“社会学想象力”旨在将每个人的处境关联到社会公共议题进行深挖探究的整个过程。在我们共同居住的公共空间里,一般人视为理所当然的事,例如城市街头的机动车喇叭声、生活住宅空间的白噪声,当生活陷落在“有人就有事,人多话就多”的怪圈逻辑下,城市高低分贝不同声响反而是带给人们健康的“隐形杀手”。文章从公共空间的“声音道德主义”让我们检视众人所处的公共环境友不友善、居住条件适不适合居住,人们是否忽略习以为常的噪声环境,却在发达国家成了相当被民众所重视的环境宜居基本条件与居住整体感受,正如R. Murray Schafer 曾说“我们的耳朵没有塞子,注定会一直听着,但这并不表示,我们有一双开放的耳朵”。课题组在文末从精神心理方层面,尝试从过去三年来所追踪的10 例被确诊为“声音恐惧症”(Misophonia)患者,进行音害治疗过程与临床经验进行分享。
