Introduction: Chidzimbahwe Philosophies of Sound
摘要
This chapter introduces Chidzimbahwe Sonic Philosophies as the ways Vedzimbahwe think with and through sound. Sound appears here not just as an audible force, but as relational, ancestral, and political—activating encounters among humans, non-humans, and unseen entities. I trace Indigenous epistemologies of Sound and listening, showing how they shape and are shaped by everyday socio-political life. The chapter sets the stage for a transdisciplinary journey that centers Sound as a living and emergent force within Chidzimbahwe cultures.
