Abstract

ABSTRACT In this paper, I study the case of sonideros in Mexico to explore the possibilities that aural archives and experiences can bring to the academic understanding of the modern urban sensorium. I inquire about the ways in which Latin America is built through translocal networks that traverse the aural space. Through a dialogue between theorists from the region and other parts of the global south, I attempt to bring new light to some of the most important concepts proposed by Jesús Martín-Barbero. I propose a reading of sonideros from a translocal point of view that reclaims the use of non-traditional archives in order to question hegemonic assumptions about popular culture.
