currentmusicology-5387	Cressy, Thomas A.	Yasar, Kerim. 2018. Electrified Voices: How the Telephone, Phonograph, and Radio Shaped Modern Japan, 1868–1945. New York: Columbia University Press.	2018	8	.pdf	application/pdf	3384	125	42	He treats rhetoric on Japanese sound in the Heian and earlier pe- riods as a continuity of literary and oral practices that were interrupted by an encounter with “sonic alterity” (Western music) and the importation of machinery and technology; he continues that further subjectivity changes in the modernization process can be seen in the phenomenon of Japanese intellectuals’ appreciation of Western classical music. Overall, in the context of a dearth of Anglophone scholarship on Japanese sound between 1868–1945, the complete reliance on limited secondary literature in the early chapters should not take anything away from Yasar’s achievement of an excellent survey applying recent theoretical frameworks to literature previously inaccessible to non-Japanese speakers.	cache/currentmusicology-5387.pdf	txt/currentmusicology-5387.txt
