How do the Balkans sound?
How soundscapes relate to memories?
How sounds exert power?
Memories and powers are not only a matter of social representations and cultural discourses. They entail and produce sensorialities, perceptions, environments, ambiances. They are embodied and experienced. Beyond their ephemeral appearance, sounds constitute a major feature here. They imply forms of perception, acts of judgement, ecological milieus, political stakes. Moreover, sounds are both a mode of knowledge and creation. Taking the Balkans as a lab, this seminar-workshop explores the potentialities of sound issues for renewing the approaches of memory and power, by:
- Gathering scholars and artists
- Combining research and creation
- Imagining future networks and projects.
It progresses through five sessions:
- Sonic regimes and ideologies
- Soundscapes of/as memory
- Sound intimacies and agencies
- Inquiring and writing with sounds
- Sonic creations, sonic performances.
