The echo and the medium

Streszcz. po ang.

This article is an attempt to define hauntology beyond the paradigm of visuality. Instead,Momro presents a hauntology based on the model of sound: acoustics, music, or more broadly speaking, the entire phonosphere. He begins by outlining the concept of the ‘acoustic image’ that emerges from his reading of Pierre Boulez and Jean-Luc Nancy, who tie together perception, the imagination and cognition by relating them to a nonmimetic sound image. Momro then presents two ways of understanding sound in modernity: in terms of dialectics (Hegel) and in terms of the event (Deleuze). In both cases the sound spectre, whether it is problematized directly or indirectly, turns out to be key to describing the experience of the modern subject.
