It's soon Sonic Citizens! This year I and @lmc-lu.bsky.social have been helping with the programme, and we have Kate Lacey as keynote speaker (possibly also "keynote listener"...), plus Shortwave Collective, Laura Balboa, Lilian Campesato and loads more. Register here: kulturljudzon.se/index.html

Event graphic for "Sonic Citizens" set against a street scene at sunset. Concentric soundwave circles frame central text reading "10 days to go" alongside two model tiger heads wearing headphones. Text at the top reads "25-26 SEPTEMBER KULTURLJUDZON" and the bottom reads "SONIC CITIZENS Full programme at kulturljudzon.se".

Visited @iurmalmo.bsky.social today to hear, among other interesting things, a presentation of the Gaza Soundmapping Project (ambientgaza.org). Worth checking out and supporting if you're interested in sound archives, sound mapping and the politics of listening in a Palestinian context.

A seated audience watches a presentation screen showing a digital map titled "Gaza Soundmapping Project." To the right is a banner for "IUR, Malmö University, Institute for Urban Research".

I recently read the work of my LU colleague Carl-Johan Palmqvist, a philosopher of belief, "non-doxasticism" and misinformation. A key point wasn't just that misinformation leads to false beliefs but that a context of fake news and AI imagery makes it harder to ever be sure of anything.

The Black Flag Group of some 800 academics in Israel is calling upon the heads of Israeli universities and colleges to mobilize the full weight of Israeli academia to stop the Israeli war in Gaza

We, members of the academic and administrative staff in institutions of higher
education in Israel, call on you to act immediately to mobilize the full weight of
Israeli academia to stop the Israeli war in Gaza.
Israeli higher education institutions play a central role in the struggle against the
judicial overhaul. It is precisely against this backdrop that their silence in the face of
the killing, starvation, and destruction in Gaza, and in the face of the complete
elimination of the educational system there, its people, and its structures, is so striking.
Since Israel violated the ceasefire on March 18, almost 3,000 people have been killed in
Gaza. The vast majority of them were civilians. Since the start of the war, at least
53,000 people have been killed in Gaza, including at least 15,000 children and at least 41
Israeli hostages. At the same time, many international bodies are warning of acute
starvation – the result of intentional and openly declared Israeli government policy – as
well as of the rendering of Gaza into an area unfit for human habitation. Israel
continues to bomb hospitals, schools, and other institutions. Among the war’s declared
goals, as defined in the orders for the current military operation “Gideon’s Chariots,” is
the “concentration and displacement of the population.” This is a horrifying litany of
war crimes and even crimes against humanity, all of our own doing.
As academics, we recognize our own role in these crimes. It is human societies, not
governments, that commit crimes against humanity. Some do so by means of direct
violence. Others do so by sanctioning the crimes and justifying them, before and after
the fact, and by keeping quiet and silencing voices in the halls of learning. It is this
bond of silence that allows clearly evident crimes to continue unabated without
penetrating the barriers of recognition.
We cannot claim that we did not know. We have been silent for too long.
