Noisy Women, Imagined Spaces: Gender, Mobility, and Sound in Chile’s Popular Music Scenes
-
Project Proposal
This project asks what the relationship of gender, mobility, and sound in Chilean popular musics can reveal about spatial politics and imagination in Chile since its return to democracy in 1990. Using gender and mobility theory, I will compare the physical, social, artistic, and virtual mobilities of four women artists in diverse music scenes to understand the intersectional power structures shaping their artistic and political agency.
Final Report
My research in Chile was divided between academic study at the Pontificia Universidad Católica, archival research, participant observation in multiple feminist music organizations, and recorded interviews. Approximately 40% of my time was spent in an academic space. In the organizations with which I worked, I was able to initiate the creation of new web content, and organize ongoing audio-visual recording document their events.
