About the Conference /About the Conference

The 1st International Conference on Research in Sonorities - Poderes do Som is an initiative of the Study Group on Images, Sonorities and Technologies (GEIST), formed by researchers from the institutions UFSC, UFES, IFRS, UFRGS and UFF. The proposal is to promote and update discussions about sound in different countries and its intersections with a diversity of areas of knowledge, expanding the scope of the field of Sound Studies in Brazil, in dialogue with foreign institutions and researchers.

​

It is with this scope in mind that the Poderes do Som Conference seeks to emphasize sound materialities, whether those that mobilize listening and sound practices, or the devices and artifacts, technological or not, that modulate and enhance what can be accomplished with the sounds. In this first edition of the event – to be held in the format of a Conference at UFSC, between June 5th and 7th, 2019 – it is intended to organize an international meeting that brings together Brazilian researchers and researchers from other parts of the world in several days of discussion , organized into working groups with specific thematic axes, round tables with specialists and invited international researchers and exhibition of sound works of relevance to the themes discussed.
