Early technological innovations linked to recording and communication, such as the radio and telephone, inaugurated research into the perception and cognition of vibrational continua connecting sound to infrasound, and other inaudible frequencies.11 These inventions also encouraged the belief that humans could access anomalous zones of transmission between the domains of human and non-human, of the living and the dead.22 The case of Bengali physicist Jagadish Chandra Bose (1858–1937), who researched the physical behaviour of particles and pioneered the use of semiconductor junctions to detect and channel radio signals, is illustrative here. Credited with pioneering discoveries in microwave and wireless telecommunications, Bose’s research would contribute to the future development of satellite communication.33 The invisible and mysterious behaviour of microwave particles fascinated him most; specifically, the secret power of waves to elude (colonial) perception: to ‘pass brick walls, buildings’ and ‘transmit messages […] without the mediation of wires’.44 Knowledge of particle behaviour could also entail control of their movement: channelled waves could be made to traverse (colonial) bodies undetected, causing remote havoc and potential damage.55

沉默之声:传导技术与自然

连接到记录和通信早期的技术革新,如收音机和电话揭牌研究的感知和连接声音振动声连续统的认知,以及其他听不到frequencies.1 1这些发明还鼓励相信人类可以访问异常区在人类与非人类,生与死之间的传播。22孟加拉物理学家贾加迪什·钱德拉·玻色(Jagadish Chandra Bose,1858–1937年)的案例就是一个例证,该案例研究了粒子的物理行为,并率先使用了半导体结来检测和传输无线电信号。与开拓微波和无线通信的发现记,Bose的研究将有助于卫星communication.3未来发展的3微波粒子的无形而神秘的行为,最让他着迷; 具体地,波的秘密功率躲避(殖民)感知:为“通砖墙,建筑物”和“发送消息[...],而不wires'.4的调解4的粒子行为知识也它们的运动的继承权控制:引导波可以以横动制成(殖民)机构未被发现,引起远程破坏和潜在damage.5 5
