Vol. 7 No. 13 (2024): Artes, música y paisaje sonoro

The 13th issue of Encartes magazine is dedicated to a dossier whose central theme is soundscapes. It is a fact that there is no celebration without sound and that sonority always accompanies traditions; however, what is new is the special attention that this sonority has received in anthropology as well as in sociology and geography. This interest is not limited to the recognition of its emotionally experienced effects, but also to the way in which sensorial cultural productions are capable of transforming a territory. This is precisely what the concept of soundscapes is about. The recognition of the sonorous act is very important to capture the cultural senses capable of changing the uses of spaces and of originating new territories. In this issue we reaffirm the valuation of the sensory by highlighting the study of sound acts as communicative acts with the agency to transform the sensory experience and place through the recreation of ritual landscapes.
