Peter Szendy (born 1966 in Paris) is a French philosopher and musicologist.
His Écoute, une histoire de nos oreilles (2001), with a preface by Jean-Luc Nancy, has been translated into Spanish and English (Listen, A History of Our Ears[1]). Criticizing Romantic and Modernist conceptions of listening, he suggests an alternative model based on deconstruction: listening, he argues (quoting C. P. E. Bach), is a "tolerated theft", and our ears are always already haunted by the ear of the other.
In Sur écoute. Esthétique de l'espionnage (2007), he draws on Foucault's analysis of the Panopticon and Deleuze's Postscript on the Societies of Control in order to show how the act of listening always entails issues of power and dominion. Sur écoute proposes an archeology of overhearing, following many paths, from the Bible to spy movies like Hitchcock's Torn Curtain or Coppola's The Conversation.
Szendy's Prophecies of Leviathan. Reading Past Melville explores the relationships between reading, temporality, and sovereignty.
