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$2OverDrive 610 0$aarchives 610 0$asonic turn 610 0$aaurality 610 0$alettered city 610 0$aaural city 610 0$ainaudito 610 0$aLatin America 610 0$aestrangement 610 0$apatrimony 610 0$aentextualization 610 0$aarchival constellation 610 0$asoundscape 610 0$apostnationalism 610 0$asound objects 610 0$aMexican Rarities 610 0$anoriganales 610 0$aCarrillo Pianos 610 0$aopen-source 610 0$aaffect 610 0$arhizome 615 17$aNonfiction. 615 7$aMulti-Cultural. 615 7$aScience. 615 7$aSociology. 676 $a780.74 686 $aMUS015000$aSCI001000$aSOC008050$2bisacsh 700 $aMadrid$b Alejandro L$01845872 702 $a, Harvard University$b Harvard University$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996691906503316 996 $aThe archive and the aural city$94434462 997 $aUNISA
