Abstract
ABSTRACT In this paper, I study the case of sonideros in Mexico to explore the possibilities that aural archives and experiences can bring to the academic understanding of the modern urban sensorium. I inquire about the ways in which Latin America is built through translocal networks that traverse the aural space. Through a dialogue between theorists from the region and other parts of the global south, I attempt to bring new light to some of the most important concepts proposed by Jesús Martín-Barbero. I propose a reading of sonideros from a translocal point of view that reclaims the use of non-traditional archives in order to question hegemonic assumptions about popular culture.
期刊介绍:
Cultural Studies is an international journal which explores the relation between cultural practices, everyday life, material, economic, political, geographical and historical contexts. It fosters more open analytic, critical and political conversations by encouraging people to push the dialogue into fresh, uncharted territory. It also aims to intervene in the processes by which the existing techniques, institutions and structures of power are reproduced, resisted and transformed. Cultural Studies understands the term "culture" inclusively rather than exclusively, and publishes essays which encourage significant intellectual and political experimentation, intervention and dialogue.
