PISTRICK, Eckehard  and  ISNART, Cyril. Landscapes, soundscapes, mindscapes: introduction. Etnográfica [online]. 2013, vol.17, n.3, pp.503-513. ISSN 0873-6561.

This article aims at providing a state of the art of current interdisciplinary and comparative research approaches on the intrinsic links between sound and place. It explores the role of sound in appropriating and humanizing space, turning it into a place, a site of human intervention and sociocultural practice. The authors direct as well to the various refigurations of the sound and place correlation in an era of increased de-territorialization, transregionalization, and hybridization of cultural practice.

Keywords : sound; space; place; landscape; ethnomusicology; anthropology of the senses.
