Soundies in Chapter 5: “Encounter and Improvisation—Reimagining the City”
(Part 2)
More than 60 Soundies are mentioned in chapter 5, so the list is in two parts. A Soundie is included on every chapter list in which it’s discussed, even if the video isn’t available online. The videos are from YouTube, so ads or other non-Soundie material might appear.
