Madrid examines the possibilities for retrieving from the archive sounds that were not meant to be heard. Drawing on Ángel Rama's notion of the Lettered City, Madrid proposes a notion of the Aural City?a Latin American urban intellectual elite for whom sound and listening are central to the creation, re-creation, and circulation of new types of knowledge. While many of these elites carry forward a nationalistic agenda, Madrid contends that the Aural City's archives and the ways they are listened to and conceived through sound and music can also help dismantle dominant frameworks of national or colonial culture and build more inclusive spaces for intellectual exchange and political mobilization. From national archives in Latin America and colonial institutions abroad to sound exhibits, instruments, and internet-based archival projects, Madrid demonstrates how the development of urban spaces is understood through sound. In this way, he expands understandings of the archive's social and sonic power. 606 $aNonfiction$2OverDrive 606 $aMulti-Cultural$2OverDrive 606 $aScience$2OverDrive 606 $aSociology$2OverDrive 615 17$aNonfiction. 615 7$aMulti-Cultural. 615 7$aScience. 615 7$aSociology. 686 $aMUS015000$aSCI001000$aSOC008050$2bisacsh 700 $aMadrid$b Alejandro L$01845872 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911021673503321 996 $aThe archive and the aural city$94434462 997 $aUNINA
