摘要：
作为声音与其社会解释的关键隐喻，“噪音”和“寂静”是当代声音研究中的重要命题。谢弗从列维－施特劳斯的人类学理论出发，通过“神圣噪音”“消极寂静”“积极寂静”等概念，建构出具有自然主义色彩的当代噪音理论，并通过“国际噪音清除运动”“世界声音景观工程”等一系列实践，为清除噪音污染、回归和谐开出救赎药方。相较于城市景观、建筑设计、环境保护、音乐创作等层面的实践意义，探寻噪音及其背后的符号学机制、拒绝神圣噪音的操控压迫、摆脱没有生命活力的消极死寂、创造具有无限开放性的积极寂静、将人从技术与噪音的嘈杂喧哗中解放出来，才是当代声音研究的重要价值所在。这为当代中国的城市声音景观研究和城市建设提供了基于声音维度的文化、政治、社会意义的思考。

Abstract:
As key metaphors for sound and its social interpretation, noise and silence are important propositions in
contemporary sound research. Starting from Levi-Strauss’s anthropological theory, Schafer constructed a naturalistic
contemporary noise theory through concepts such as sacred noise, negative silence, and positive silence, thus offered
antidote to noise by means of such practices as international noise abatement campaigns thus the World Soundscape
Project. Contemporary sound research is practically significant for urban landscape, architectural design, environmental
protection, musical composition, etc. Its true value lies in rejecting the manipulation and oppression of sacred noise and
replacing the passivity of lifeless silence with a positive one full of creative possibilities, thus liberating human from technology and noise.
