Abstract
A book about calm really ought to contain only blank pages so
as to disturb the reader as little as possible, yet a lack of words would cause disquiet: A vacuum evokes thoughts of death, which we, the living, prefer to keep at bay. Luckily, heavy metal and yoga can convince us we are alive and bring us calm, a state of mind often found in things that are neither silent nor inert. A highly attuned media researcher at Aarhus University, Iben Have knows about sounds and silence – but had to travel to a serene setting to help these Reflections flow from her fingertips.
