There is no soundtrack is a study of how sound and image produce meaning in contemporary experimental media art by artists ranging from Chantal Akerman to Nam June Paik to Tanya Tagaq. It contextualises these works and artists through key ideas in sound studies: voice, noise, listening, the soundscape and more. The book argues that experimental media art produces radical and new audio-visual relationships challenging the visually dominated discourses in art, media and the human sciences. In addition to directly addressing what Jonathan Sterne calls 'visual hegemony', it also explores the lack of diversity within sound studies by focusing on practitioners from transnational and diverse backgrounds. As such, it contributes to a growing interdisciplinary scholarship, building new, more complex and reverberating frameworks to collectively sonify the study of culture.

Das Schreiben und Leben, das Zusammenwirken von Autor und Verleger dokumentiert dieser Briefwechsel – und zugleich die literarische Entwicklung der Bundesrepublik nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg. Die beiden Partner: Auf der einen Seite der 1916 geborene Emigrant, der sein erstes Buch in deutscher Sprache 1960 veröffentlichte, aber in Schweden wohnte; er begann als experimenteller Erzähler und Dramatiker, schuf später eine eigene Form des politisch engagierten dokumentarischen Theaters und vollendete kurz vor seinem Tod 1982 den monumentalen Roman-Essay Ästhetik des Widerstands über die Kämpfe gegen die Epoche des Faschismus. Auf der anderen der Verleger, der seit 1959 allein verantwortlich für den Suhrkamp Verlag war und vor dem Hintergrund der Werke von Hesse und Brecht alles daransetzte, experimentierende Autoren bei den Lesern durchzusetzen. Der Schatten des Körpers des Kutschers, Abschied von den Eltern, Marat/Sade, Die Ermittlung, Viet Nam Diskurs, Die Ästhetik des Widerstands – diese Titel bezeichnen nur einige Stationen des Weges von Peter Weiss, die auch Stationen der Gesellschaftsgeschichte der Bundesrepublik bedeuten. Die Korrespondenz Siegfried Unseld / Peter Weiss Der Briefwechsel läßt die Entstehung dieser Werke miterleben, zeigt die literarisch-politische Entwicklung ihres Verfassers – und den gewährenden, fordernden und fördernden Verleger, der dieses Werk gegen alle Widerstände durchsetzt.
