The sonic details of everyday life provide a point of entry for examining and redescribing the cultural and social politics of historically significant moments (Sterne, 2012), as well as our relation to the senses, spaces, community, society, and power (Bull Stoever, 2016).A focus on sound and aurality within Latina/o cultural studies does not constitute an alternative or addition to established cultural studies methods, but is interconnected and complementary by taking into account the auditory dimension across already familiar cultural arenas.Furthermore, sounds studies' emphasis on subjectivity and the examination of listeners' positionality expands students' understanding of plural and distinct Latinidades.
