In this essay I make a case for the analytic of atmospheres as a way to understand the seemingly ineffable, yet powerful effects of vocal sound on listeners in an Islamic setting. Focusing on the recitation of devotional poetry in honor of the Prophet Muhammad among Mauritian Muslims, I seek to bring together neo-phenomenological approaches to sonic atmospheres with recent anthropological research on the voice that seeks to overcome the opposition of discursive signification and sonic materiality. Detailed examination of sonic events shows that sonic atmospheres enact suggestions of movement that go beyond the metaphorical. Arguing against theories of sonic affect that take the sonic to be an asignifying material flux, I seek to demonstrate that vocal sound's meaningfulness is internal to the processual nature of its material forms.

运动建议：毛里求斯穆斯林奉献活动中的声音和声波氛围

在本文中，我为分析气氛提供了一个案例，以此来理解在伊斯兰环境中声音对听众的看似不可言喻的强大影响。我专注于诵读虔诚的诗歌，以纪念毛里求斯穆斯林中的先知穆罕默德，我试图将新的现象学方法用于声音氛围，并结合最近的人类学研究，试图克服话语意义和声音物质性的对立。对声音事件的详细检查表明，声音气氛发出了超越隐喻性的运动建议。我反对将声音作为一种有意义的物质流的声音影响理论，我试图证明声的意义是其物质形式的过程性的内在本质。[语音; 声音; 气氛; 影响; 伊斯兰教; 毛里求斯; 南亚]
