| Abstract | Anyone who wants to understand how wars were planned, waged, perceived and portrayed must 'listen' to them: the noise of weapons, screams, speeches, music and signal sounds - in short: the belliphonic - created and structured social spaces and narrations. Historical research has recently been increasingly concerned with the sound spheres of the Middle Ages. So far, however, the war has remained almost entirely unnoticed. The section is the second in a series of two. Both address the question what can be learned about the belliphonic by looking at a variety of sources. Section two focuses on pictures, literary texts, and sermons. Thus the session brings new aspects to the fields of military and sound history. |
