The Department of Central, Eastern, and Northern European Studies (CENES) is delighted to share that Palgrave has published Sound and Sense in Contemporary Theatre: Mad Auralities by Dr. Matthew Tomkinson.
This groundbreaking book explores the concept of “Mad Auralities” in theatre and performance, delving into the question: What does it mean to hear and listen madly? Drawing on a wide range of disciplines, including mad studies, critical disability studies, theatre studies, sound studies, queer studies, and critical race theory, Dr. Tomkinson examines the intricate connections between sound and mental health differences. Through an analysis of diverse case studies, the book investigates how audience members experience auditory simulations of madness in theatrical settings.

Congratulations to Dr. Matthew Tomkinson on this significant achievement!
