The Millennium Nucleus in Musical and Sound Cultures (CMUS) is an associative research platform aimed at exploring the transformations of contemporary Chilean society based on practices associated with music, sound and listening (SMLP).
Inaugurated in 2022 and funded by the Millennium Initiative of the National Research and Development Agency (ANID), CMUS brings together a network of researchers in converging disciplines (music studies, social anthropology, sociology of culture, and education) with an inter- and transdisciplinary perspective across four regions and seven universities in the country. In its first phase, CMUS focused on the following lines of research: Communities, territories, and participation; Education and heritage; and Economies, industries, and policies of culture.
Now renewed for a new cycle, the Center aims to consolidate the research and methodological approaches developed previously. It seeks to project its knowledge and activities toward public engagement, focusing on the social impact of culture, public policy, and subjective well-being through the arts. The new lines of research include identities, memories, and sound and musical heritage; innovations, technologies, and emerging practices in SMLP (Sound and Music Popularity); and the social conflicts and subjective well-being that these practices allow us to analyze and document. Each of them is detailed below:
