| Assister à un match de championnat brésilien à l’Estádio Palestra Itália [1] (Palmeiras, Saõ Paulo) donne une occasion unique à l’urbaniste sensible, accessoirement amateur de ballon rond stéphanois, de vérifier si les ambiances des stades français avec leurs fans et ultras sont fidèles à leur lointain modèle d’origine : les torcidas organizadas du Brésil. |

Being part of a Brazilian football game at Estádio Palestra Itália [1] (Palmeiras, Saõ Paulo) is a unique way for a French urban designer, football fan at his spare time (AS St-Etienne), to verify if French stadium’s atmosphere, with their “fans” and ultras, can match their distant models : torcidas organizadas from Brazil. |

The aim of the conference is to profile contemporary sound studies as an interdisciplinary field of studies and to contribute to the discussion and development of the auditive paradigm in general. Key concepts like ‘acoustemology’, ‘acoustic space’ or ‘sonic environment’ might be reflected upon and developed as well, both at a theoretical level and with regard to specific cultural, medial and aesthetic contexts.

The title of the thirteenth Sonic Acts Festival, The Poetics of Space, is derived from the English translation of the book La Poétique de l’Espace (1958) by the French philosopher Gaston Bachelard. In this work Bachelard meticulously describes the influence of space and architecture on humans and implicitly argues for a new type of architecture based on experience and imagination, an approach that is not only rooted in science or functionality.

17:00-19:00 Festival Opening Performative Lecture by Brandon LaBelle
Exploring the relation of voice and location, LaBelle’s performative lecture unpacks the ambiguities of presence and mediation. How does speech come to enact a spatial proposal through its insistence on the here and now? And what forms of intimacy can be found within recorded voices and their circulation? To unfold such questions, LaBelle will draw upon recent research in electronic geographies and the materialization of voice, ultimately aiming to capture the fuzzy movements of a sonic body.
