Présentation

Foto Radio TiranaThe presentation examines through a sound studies perspective one of the oldest broadcasting archives in Europe, founded in 1938. It particularly focuses on the taxonomy of a "Cold War Archive" and its ideological implications rooted in a vague and arbitrarily applied notion of "socialist realism". It will as well present first hand sources about how musical censorship on different levels (music aesthetics, textual, biographical) was applied on archived sound sources and what visual codes were used to denounce exclusion and defamation of musical works or artists. In a second part the talk will highlight the artistic potential of such sound archives, introducing my artistic collaboration with the Soundwalk Collective on censored sounds, as well as silences and absences in the archive.

LESC CREM Picto C webThe CREM (Centre for Research in Ethnomusicology) seminar takes place on two Mondays per month, from 10:00 to 12:00. Members of the CREM (doctoral students included) and invited researchers present their ongoing work. The presentations last 50 minutes, and are followed by a coffee break and discussion hour.

Occasionally, the seminar takes the form of a workshop which brings together several researchers around a common theme. In these cases, the seminar takes place over an afternoon, or sometimes an entire day.

Participation in the seminar is open to everyone. It is also integrated into the Master’s degree in ethnomusicology at the Universities of Paris Nanterre and Paris Saint-Denis.
