Research

Navigation through Atlantic sensitivities

The project brings together researchers from different disciplinary areas – music, ethnomusicology, history, anthropology, sociology, digital technologies – with the common objective of producing and promoting knowledge about sounds and memories that are inscribed in transnational social life.

It includes shared research practices and unfolds into interactive and complementary work fronts leading to:

  1. The production and editing of narratives about music and memory, through shared research with groups, individuals and communities whose heritage is understood in a historical relationship with Portugal.
  2. The mapping of musical practices and instruments in lusophone or portuguese-speaking communities.
  3. Research with sound collections of archival and ethnographic research with musicians and other participants in cultural production, in local and translocal, synchronic and diachronic perspectives.
  4. Carrying out an ethnomusicological and historiographical analysis on the role of musicians and stringed musical instruments in the construction of symbolic and material relationships between musical practices linked to Portugal, Brazil and other territories in the Atlantic corridor.
