The deadline for submitting texts for the dossier “Ethnographic Archives: Other Inscriptions and Epistemologies of Sound and Listening” is September 30th, which is part of the academic journal História da Historiografia. The editors of the dossier are Daniel Domingo, Natalia Bieletto, and Javier Silva, all members of CMUS, which is involved in organizing the competition.

From the Millennium Nucleus of Musical and Sound Cultures (CMUS), researchers are invited to submit papers for this dossier that discuss and reflect on the situationality and positionality of sound documents and archives in general, and, more specifically, on the regimes of aurality and spectrality that underlie the production of anthropological knowledge.

Suggested topics include: Epistemologies of Listening; Recording Technologies and Their Sociocultural Contexts; Performativity and Sound; Sound Archives and Decoloniality; Acoustic Conditions and Subjectivity in Ethnography; The Politics of Sound; Sound Archives and Cultural Representation: Case Studies on How Sound Archives Represent Local and Traditional Cultures; and Uses and Reuses of Sound Archives.
