To Decompart(mentalize) Knowledge

Presenter: Luca Forcucci.

Abstract

Two works, "Sonic Rituals" and "The Room Above" are proposed as case studies in the context of practice-led research and fieldwork in the wild to decompartmentalize and possibly decolonize knowledge, namely shifting away from a purely Western techno-scientific perspective to embrace a plural vision involving indigenous epistemology. In this project, the sonic arts include music and sound in the arts and focus specifically on the very act of listening. Rituals constitute structures for the lives of communities and societies, which we address more deeply from the perspective of sonic and cognitive research, to understand their roles and the epistemology emerging from them.
