MUSICAL LISTENING:

COMMUNICATION AND AGENCEMENTS OF DIFFERENCE – HYBRIDITY AND THE GLOBAL SOUTH

Abstract

The research which generated this article analyzes the communicational experience of musical listening workshops. The songs used in the activities value the semiotic, cultural, and aesthetic borders of the Global South. The theoretical-methodological path proposes a) to approach the regimes of pop music by showing the criteria for choosing some hybrid works positioned in cultural boundaries; b) take these musical productions to our workshops; c) to identify the knowledge and cultural perspectives triggered int he communicational processes of listening; and d) to propose a semiotic analysis that gathers the empirical data of the workshops and the enunciation of the works (artists). This study aims to think of sound and listening as a communicational experience of difference and otherness which can update pop music media memory and media regimes.
