Ideologies of the Sirens embody both the protective and the dangerous elements of Siren sounds--from the Cold War public training exercises in the US in the 1950s and 60s to the seductive power of the Sirens entrenched in popular culture; from the music of Roxy Music to Tom O'Dell and in filmic representations of the 'femme-fatale' in 'Film Noir and beyond. This first volume in The Study of Sound series argues that we should understand 'Siren sounds' both as myth and as materiality embodying both danger and protectiveness. In addressing the notion of the 'silencing of the sirens', Sirens then poses the question as to whether we can rely on the sirens both in their mythic and material meanings in contemporary culture.
