Abstract

The listening experience has been studied and described in ways that it is almost as if one could ‘see' sounds as objects flying in a space - most of them fortunately unidentified. I will juxtapose a few propositions which, for some years, I have been dealing with and writing about, trying to sum these articles’ intentions in one and the same: to prevent us against the faith on the neutrality and the universality of cultural constructed perceptions, and to recover a more wholesome mode of listening - if not in the general day-to-day life, at least in the artistic field.
