[Judith Peraino](https://music.cornell.edu/judith-peraino) (Cornell University), *Of Medieval Manuscripts and Mixtapes: Splicing the Body into Recorded Sound*. Co-sponsored by the MHC Medieval Studies Seminar and the GSAS Medieval Studies Interdisciplinary Workshop. This lecture is part of the 2019-2020 Medieval Studies Seminar series "Hearing the Middle Ages".
#####  In this paper, Prof. Peraino will offer reflections on how certain historical conditions of sound recording technologies also capture an expressivity enacted by formatting and splicing. She will consider examples from a thirteenth-century song collection and cassette mixtapes from the 1970s and ‘80s, and draw on William S. Burroughs’s conceptual spliced-tape experiments to explore the creation of hybrid voices and penetrable bodies through these recording practices.
