Artivist sonorities

About this book
This book presents case studies of Ibero-American musicians who have worked, across genres, on experimental sonic projects such as sound installations, soundscaping, performance art, live coding or craft-electronics. Drawing on intersectionality as a conceptual and methodological framework, but also on concepts of transculturality or situated knowledge, it explores the complex, multiple identities flowing through the Ibero-American creative space.
The practices analyzed in the volume compel a critical reappraisal of terms such as ‘avant-garde’, ‘experimental’ or ‘sound art’, which perpetuate a teleological and geopolitical bias –the polarization between center and periphery– and have excluded many practices from the historiographical canon. Subverting these categories, this monograph shows the relevance of sonic arts well beyond the epistemological and ontological apparatus of academic spaces. Although it includes some historical antecedents dating back to the 1960s and 1970s, it focuses on the 21st century and emphasizes the transformations that have occurred since the pandemic.
