Sonic Environments and the Phenomenological Dynamic of Passivity and Activity

Abstract

The question of the sonic environment is one of those that I focus on the most within the framework of our grant project. The basic orientation of my questioning is a phenomenological approach to the sonic environment.

So if I had to sum up the question I am dealing with in one sentence, it would be what contribution a phenomenological perspective can bring to the investigation of the sonic environment and soundscape. In my presentation, I want to try to show how the opening of the sonic environment as a specific field guided by a phenomenological perspective can look like.

I will show this through the passive-active dynamics of the sonic environment. This dynamics is able to capture the richness of the sonic environment.

In my presentation I will show the Husserlian roots of this dynamics, as well as the example from art, Christina Kubisch's long-term project called Electric Walks.
