The sound spaces of the city in the Modern Age (15th-18th centuries)
23 November 2022. From 18:30 | Conference | Spanish | IEMed
The city in the Modern Age was configured as an area of great transformations and several cultures, in which a characteristic sound landscape was coined, a mosaic of several messages and audiences, where the social powers did not stop competing to seize public spaces through sound.
