This interdisciplinary meeting aims to provide epistemological, methodological and technical tools to collect, analyze and reproduce sound material in the context of studies on sound spaces (ambience, scenery, sound creation, sound places of play). It will provide participants with theoretical, analytical and critical elements enabling them to understand the relationship between sounds and societies, and work in partnership with local actors on the processes of social mobilization, management and governance related to sound.
