| Abstract | |
This thesis investigates the role and political influence of sounds in public spaces, in the constitution of symbolic-cultural territories as a means of political action, consensus and disagreement. Thus, the research considers the social and sensory dimensions, along with the physical aspects of space through the concept of ambience. This perspective privileges interdisciplinary methods that interdependently unite the reflexivity between theory and practice. As a hypothesis, we argue that sounds have aesthetic and political power in urban public spaces, being related to the most diverse aspects of social life, participating in the structuring of urban life. As methods, the research integrates literature review, interviews, study of sound interventions, with the support provided by the application of contextualized practical methods, such as soundwalks and phonography in the neighbourhoods of República (São Paulo, Brazil) and Saint Bruno (Grenoble, France), conducting workshops and field research. The research contributes to the reading, representation and analysis of the uses of public spaces, on the establishment of frontiers between groups and individuals, considering sounds as an active means of practice and listening. In addition to this, we found that the sounds and sound environment are a relevant and adequate way to understand the production of urban and public spaces, contributing to the formulation of public policies, urban management and urbanism project.
