“Lists of objects without explication can do the philosophical work of drawing our attention toward them with greater attentiveness”. Bogost, Alien Phenomenology, pp. 40-41. Discuss using your item or locale and the soundscape to provide evidence. How does your soundscape draw attention to your item or locale by not explicating? (up to 1000 words)

Firstly, lets highlight the main words in the quote and try make sense of what it is saying.

“Lists of objects without explication can do the philosophical work of drawing our attention toward them with greater attentiveness”

Rewrite: By refraining from using correctionist methods of explication, and instead using an OOO perspective, we are able to understand ‘objects’ with greater attentiveness on philosophical basis. …..

Explication meaning: the process of analysing and developing an idea or principle in detail. 

So basically, the question is asking me to use Bogost’s OOO theory on my chosen object (a garden), and by applying that theory was does it teach me about the locale from a non-correlationist viewpoint…

BUT how am i suppose to know the ideas of a park when I cannot speak to a park. Will i be talking about its relationship to all things not-human. eg, its relationship between birds, and bees, and trees, and sun, and grass, and insects?

Does ecologies of noticing mean look at the environment?
