Dall’annotazione alla classificazione dei paesaggi sonori “giocosi” tra tradizione e contemporaneità. From the notation to the classification of “playful” soundscape between tradition and modernity

It is important for the social sciences to study soundscapes, both from a theoretical and empirical point of view, to a perspective increasingly linked to changes and transformations in social and environmental structures. In particular, in a world where there is no absolute reference point, the environmental stimuli generated by sounds and processed by the brain constitute increasingly complex universes of study. The world of playful activities, starting from the classical period, has always expressed natural sounds that we find however strongly altered, when not marked by completely artificial sounds, in a context, such as the present, strongly permeated by technological pervasiveness. How to find and preserve the sound materials that risk disappearing? increasingly indecipherable. Opening up to the problem of defining taxonomic “types”, to build meta information and easy instrumentation, able to compare and preserve any sound scenario, in the construction of a discourse of confirmations and inclusions.
