Biography: 

Daniel Gilfillan is associate professor of German studies at Arizona State University in the School of International Letters and Cultures, senior sustainability scholar in the Julie Ann Wrigley Global Institute of Sustainability, and faculty affiliate in Film and Media Studies, Jewish Studies, and English. His primary area of research engages the relationships between sound, media, and the perception of experience. Gilfillan has published widely on German and Austrian radio and sound art, and on the history of the radio in Germany as an experimental art medium, Pieces of Sound: German Experimental Radio, (Minnesota, 2009). He is currently working on a book The Unsung Planet: Resilience, Resonance, and Our Sonic Imagination. This new book explores relationships between sound and the environment and invites readers into a more attentive awareness of the sonic dimensions of the Earth. It examines the role and centrality of sound for understanding the complex interconnections within sustainability practice and the equally complex interactions between humans and other ecosystem populations (animals, landscapes, geologies, and atmospheres). In addition, he is co-editing and translating (with Solveig Ottmann) a volume of essays written by Weimar-era radio producer, Hans Flesch with the title Before Brecht: Hans Flesch and Weimar-Era Radio Theory.

Work in Progress

  1. Before Brecht: Hans Flesch and Weimar-Era Radio Theory. Co-edited (with Solveig Ottmann, University of Regensburg) and translated volume of important theoretical texts from the Weimar period in which radio developed as an important cultural, political, and artistic medium. The volume focuses specifically on the programmatic and theoretical texts of Hans Flesch, the first artistic director at Radio Frankfurt, who later became the guiding voice of cultural radio in Berlin.
  2. The Unsung Planet: Resilience, Resonance, and Our Sonic Imagination. Monograph. The volume explores relationships between sound and the environment and invites readers into a more attentive awareness of the sonic dimensions of the Earth. It investigates the role sound plays as a distinguishing factor within the Anthropocene and as a diagnostic tool to gauge its impact. It focuses on a set of acoustic examples that allow us to rethink the limits of human resilience alongside the nonhuman. The delicate set of entanglements we share with plants, animals, geologies and atmospheres, and with other humans, necessitates that we also continually open our sonic imaginations to those entanglements within and beyond the human.
