The presentation plays and talks through sounds collected from Dr. Goh's fieldwork observing the field of acoustic archaeology, or archaeoacoustics. It proposes understanding the figure of echo as a material-semiotic figuration of sonic knowledge production, which analysis thereof can help us understand contemporary assumptions about sound and sonic matter. It aims to outline how the echo is shaped by coloniality, whiteness and cisheteropatriarchy and on the basis of its limitations, it seeks to re-conceptualise echo as a feminist and decolonial sonic figuration.
