During the 10th Sief Congress to be held in Lisbon, Portugal, Cyril Isnart (CIDEHUS-Universidade de Evora) and Eckehard Pistrick (Martin-Luther-University Halle/Université Paris-Ouest Nanterre)  are directing a panel called "Sound, space and memory: ways of emotionalizing and instrumentalizing sound".19 Apr, 2011 at 11:30-18:00Faculty of Social and Human Sciences of the Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Av. de Berna 26, LisbonArgumentSound  and space have been considered as two distinct phenomena, visual and  aural, to be studied by different disciplines: (ethno)musicology and  geography. But the anthropology of space, the anthropology of senses  (Turner) and performance studies (Schiefflin, Marshall) have shown how  music links with space and memory. Every experience of space is at the  same time a visual, acoustic and memory experience. Places possess a  particular soundscape (Murray Schafer, Feld, Scaldaferri) linked to the  process of recollecting and learning the traces of the past.In  times of musical globalization and musical hybridization, music detaches  itself from its space of origin and tends to exist as a non-spatial and  non-identifiable object. On the other hand, sound becomes appropriated  by space influenced by local discourses, nationalist rhetorics or  heritage politics. Space is considered in these terms as the mythical  origin of musical expressions.In the last decades, human  migrations have profoundly remodeled the relation between music and  space. As a result, an increased role was attributed to aural memory for  remembering places, involving particular emotions. In these terms,  memory stimulates a widespread nostalgia for the sounds and spaces of  origin.The panel aims to highlight the connections between sound  and space, in local emic terms and as an etic concept of cultural  politics. How can ‘local sounds’ be understood in a globalized world?  What role do memory processes play in linking space and sounds? In what  sense does the aural compliment the visual in performance? In what  respect can music as a symbol evoke a ‘lost space’?ProgramSilence habité: constructions sonores de la spatialité dans la clôtureFrancesca Sbardella (Università di Bologna)Building the hero: from ritual mourning to mp3 among the Armenian YezidisEstelle Amy de la Bretèque (Instituto de etnomusicologia (INET-MD/UNL)Sound, space,  and dance in the local "panigyria" in Greece: the co-relation of sound,  space and dance in the local "panigyria" in Northwestern Greece, their  dynamics and their social implicationsAthena Katsanevaki (University of Macedonia)Sounds like history: maritime heritage soundscapes and the appropration of the pastJohannes Mueske (University of Zurich)  and Thomas Hengartner (University of Zurich)Embodied imagination: understanding place through sound and movementEva Rodriguez Riestra (University of NSW)Synchronization  of images and music realised by Leoš Janáček in Moravia in 1906 in the  context of documentation of the traditional Whitsuntide ritual “The  Little Queens“Jarmila Procházková (Institute of Ethnology, Czech Academy of Sciences)Eastern dreams and sonic utopias: the amplified worlds of Romanian maneleVictor A.
