Music, as sound, physically and figuratively transcends previously erected or conceptualized boundaries. Artists and listeners each have the ability to aurally extend their values into new spaces, where others hear them. Passions and ideas gain traction through a constant aural negotiation that exists within the music that individuals use to soundtrack their public and private lives. As argued by the contributors to this roundtable, music both resides within the larger societal and cultural constellations that surround it and helps to shape those dynamics in active ways. Music, as a loosely defined social practice, plays an important role in self-identification. Musical aesthetics provide an avenue through which listeners and performers place themselves within specific social groups. Al-āla and Andalusian genres typically associated with North African elite classes constitute one prominent example that is threaded throughout this roundtable. These social groups are rarely exclusive, however, and musical aesthetics provide a significant set of data through which scholars might read (or, perhaps better put, listen to) the dynamic nature of social institutions and the cultural formations that mold them.

Although the role of shared speech in political action has received much theoretical attention, too little thought has focused on the practice of listening in political interaction, according to Susan Bickford. Even in a formally democratic polity, political action occurs in a context of conflict and inequality; thus, the shared speech of citizenship differs significantly from the conversations of friendly associates. Bickford suggests that democratic politics requires a particular quality of attention, one not based on care or friendship. Analyzing specifically political listening is central to the development of democratic theory, she contends, and to envisioning democratic practices for contemporary society. Bickford's analysis draws on the work of Aristotle and of Hannah Arendt to establish the conflictual and contentious character of politics. To analyze the social forces that deflect attention from particular voices, Bickford mobilizes contemporary feminist theory, including Gloria Anzaldua's work on the connection between identity and politics. She develops a conception of citizen interaction characterized by adversarial communication in a context of inequality. Such a conception posits public identity - and hence public listening - as active and creative, and grounded in particular social and political contexts

The aim of this study was to reveal English Foreign Language (EFL) classroom activities conducted by teachers in teaching listening using songs. A qualitative study method was applied. Three teachers of a senior high school in Indonesia were interviewed. Classroom observations were done. Teachers strongly believed that their students enjoyed the class and involved in the activities provided. The results show that students were eagerly active in the class joining activities conducted by teachers in teaching listening using songs. There were sixty students given questionnaire. They were chosen randomly. The study implies that it is necessary for teachers to plan various activities to attract students' attention as well as to choose the appropriate song so that all of students are engaged in the learning process.

Purpose
– In this study, active empathetic listening is purposed as being an antecedent to a salesperson's communication skill, ability to maintain quality relationships and build trust. The study proposes that communication skill, relationship quality and trust all moderate the relationship between AEL and sales performance.


Design/methodology/approach
– Survey research using salespersons was conducted; structural equation modeling was used to test the hypotheses of the model.


Findings
– The findings confirmed that AEL was positively related to salespersons' communication skills, relationship quality and trust. The proposed moderators of communication and trust received support when predicting sales performance.


Research limitations/implications
– This was the first empirical study to examine the role of AEL in a relationship selling model. AEL was found to directly affect levels of trust, relationship quality and overall communication skills of salespeople. More research on the role of AEL in the relationship selling process should be investigated.


Practical implications
– Managers that focus on long-term relationships in a dyadic buyer-seller relationship may benefit most from this study. A scale that can be used to measure existing levels of AEL in the sales force is included. AEL may better enable salespeople to develop long-term relationships with their customers.


Originality/value
– This study examines a form of listening (AEL) that is proposed to be superior to other forms of listening within the personal selling context. Presently little research on the importance of listening and its impact on relationship building exists. This is the first study to test AEL as an antecedent to relationship skills of salespeople.

This research work is focused on the forms of qualitative sound integration as part of the urban planning, and those forms are studied through the achievements of three pioneers of sound composition for public spaces. At the end of the 50's, the first noise-fighting policies were implemented by public authorities and aimed at tackling noise pollution by using a quantitative frame of work. In response to this approach, some composers adapted the notions of noise, pollution, and environment, and redefined them with the help of music theories. The field inquiry undertaken within the Collectif Environnement Sonore, founded by Pierre Mariétan, the Life Design Sonore agency, created by Louis Dandrel, and the Compagnie Décor Sonore, ran by Michel Risse, allowed for the study of different experiments aiming to promote environmental noise quality. The very notion of « sound environment », created by Pierre Mariétan in 1969, leads to a method based on a listening pratice that makes it possible to describe environmental noises based on their objective and perceptible distinguishing features. This qualitative approach of environmental noise is implemented through specialized practices. The environmental musicalizing (P. Mariétan), the acoustic design (L. Dandrel), and the acoustic gardening operations (M. Risse) demonstrate how the principles of music composing blend in architectural and urban designing ; Ce travail de recherche porte sur les formes d'intégration qualitative du son dans l'aménagement urbain, étudiées à travers les réalisations de trois pionniers de la composition sonore pour l'espace public. A la fin des années 1950, les premières politiques de lutte contre le bruit sont mises en oeuvre par les pouvoirs publics qui traitent les nuisances sonores à travers un référentiel quantitatif. En réaction à cette approche, certains compositeurs s'approprient les notions de bruit, de pollution et d'environnement qu'ils redéfinissent au moyen des théories musicales.

La notion d'« environnement sonore » forgée par Pierre Mariétan en 1969 conduit à une méthode fondée sur la pratique de l'écoute, qui permet de qualifier les sons dans l'environnement à partir de leurs caractéristiques objectives et sensibles. Cette approche qualitative de l'environnement sonore est mise en oeuvre à travers des pratiques spécialisées. La musicalisation de l'environnement (P. Mariétan), le design sonore (L.

Several studies have investigated the effects of music on both submaximal and maximal exercise performance at a constant work-rate. However, there is a lack of research that has examined the effects of music on the pacing strategy during self-paced exercise. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of preferred music on performance and pacing during a 6 min run test (6-MSPRT) in young male adults. Twenty healthy male participants volunteered for this study. They performed two randomly assigned trials (with or without music) of a 6-MSPRT three days apart. Mean running speed, the adopted pacing strategy, total distance covered (TDC), peak and mean heart rate (HRpeak, HRmean), blood lactate (3 min after the test), and rate of perceived exertion (RPE) were measured. Listening to preferred music during the 6-MSPRT resulted in significant TDC improvement (Δ10%; p = 0.016; effect size (ES) = 0.80). A significantly faster mean running speed was observed when listening to music compared with no music. The improvement of TDC in the present study is explained by a significant overall increase in speed (main effect for conditions) during the music trial. Music failed to modify pacing patterns as suggested by the similar reversed "J-shaped" profile during the two conditions. Blood-lactate concentrations were significantly reduced by 9% (p = 0.006, ES = 1.09) after the 6-MSPRT with music compared to those in the control condition. No statistically significant differences were found between the test conditions for HRpeak, HRmean, and RPE. Therefore, listening to preferred music can have positive effects on exercise performance during the 6-MSPRT, such as greater TDC, faster running speeds, and reduced blood lactate levels but has no effect on the pacing strategy.

Radio Active tells the story of how radio listeners at the American mid-century were active in their listening practices. While cultural historians have seen this period as one of failed reform--focusing on the failure of activists to win significant changes for commercial radio--Kathy M. Newman argues that the 1930s witnessed the emergence of a symbiotic relationship between advertising and activism. Advertising helped to kindle the consumer activism of union members affiliated with the CIO, middle-class club women, and working-class housewives. Once provoked, these activists became determined to influence--and in some cases eliminate--radio advertising. As one example of how radio consumption was an active rather than a passive process, Newman cites The Hucksters, Frederick Wakeman's 1946 radio spoof that skewered eccentric sponsors, neurotic account executives, and grating radio jingles. The book sold over 700,000 copies in its first six months and convinced broadcast executives that Americans were unhappy with radio advertising. The Hucksters left its mark on the radio age, showing that radio could inspire collective action and not just passive conformity.

Two experiments are presented that serve as a framework for exploring auditory information processing. The framework is referred to as polychotic listening or auditory search, and it requires a listener to scan multiple simultaneous auditory streams for the appearance of a target word (the name of a letter such as A or M). Participants' ability to scan between two and six simultaneous auditory streams of letter and digit names for the name of a target letter was examined using six loudspeakers. The main independent variable was auditory load, or the number of active audio streams on a given trial. The primary dependent variables were target localization accuracy and reaction time. Results showed that as load increased, performance decreased. The performance decrease was evident in reaction time, accuracy, and sensitivity measures. The second study required participants to practice the same task for 10 sessions, for a total of 1800 trials. Results indicated that even with extensive practice, performance was still affected by auditory load. The present results are compared with findings in the visual search literature. The implications for the use of multiple auditory displays are discussed. Potential applications include cockpit and automobile warning displays, virtual reality systems, and training systems.

Listening has become a key concept in practicing public diplomacy on social media. This study explores professional diplomats' listening on Twitter, operationalizing their listening behavior as interaction involvement (II). II is related to knowing when and how to use language in social situations, and it covers three crucial aspects of listening: attentiveness, perceptiveness, and responsiveness. The present study examines the relationship between diplomats' interaction involvement and their perceptions of how their goals are being met by their use of Twitter. Survey data were collected from participants (N = 108) who were diplomats from five Northern European countries stationed at each country's foreign embassies. As hypothesized, the data revealed a positive association between II and perceived goal attainment. Moreover, active tweeting and the following of other users do not alone determine successful impact, but listening skills related to relational awareness and responsiveness are at least as important, if not more important. ; publishedVersion ; Peer reviewed
