"Amit Pinchevski's Echo is a beautifully written, short, dense,and rich meditation on
"echo," less the acoustic phenomenon per sethan the way the notion has been appropriated in Western culture, latosensu, over centuries, and its relevance to communication scholars.Navigating through multiple times and fields, it is also a plea for aholistic approach, in times of hyperspecialization." - International Journal of Communication
"Pinchevski dwells with increasing intention, detail, and focus upon the broader stakes of this study for scholars of sound, including the echo's disclosure of the
"other-oriented" nature of human hearing, the
"relational subjectivity" of aurality, and forms of echo-adjacent sonic mediation that
"cut deep into the nature of being." - Sound Studies
"For such a compact book, ECHO offers a long read. It is bursting with ideas and references for sound studies scholars with a particular interest in literary studies as well as media and biology scholarship." - Journal of Sonic Studies
