Juliette Volcler is an independent researcher, writer, sound artist and gardener. Her work focuses on the history of sound and radio art, the uses of sound by states and industries in public spaces, and the way those two fields intertwine. She considers and practices critical listening as a way to advance social justice. She published Extremely Loud: Sound as a weapon (The New Press, 2013) and Contrôle: Comment s’inventa l’art de la manipulation sonore (La Découverte / La rue musicale, 2017). In her latest book, L’orchestration du quotidien : design sonore et écoute au 21e siècle (La Découverte, 2022), she raises the political question of listening in the 21st century through an investigation into sound design and its current development as a tool for social engineering. This book invites readers to make a shift in the way they listen to everyday life, and to awaken a critical ear.
