Keynote Talk & Roundtable

[Sonic Returns – Repatriating Sounds on Exile] 

10-12h, 28/10/2022, Salle 327, CASE, bât. EHESS (Campus Condorcet)

How do we decolonize colonial sound archives? How to open colonial archives to horizontal accessibilities? How is the discourse in sound knowledges and sonic practices controlled by the ones who have access to its archiving? These questions animate the scholarship, archival interventions, and community outreach of the Sonic Entanglements (Dutch Research Council) project led by meLê yamomo. For the project’ last initiative, Sonic Returns brings together archivists, scholars, and stakeholders of Southeast Asian sound archives in a serie of archival encounters, lectures, and panel discussions in London, Paris, Amsterdam and Berlin, in order to address issues of repatriating and reconnecting sound heritage with their communities. Are sound archives recorded voices and music just in exile waiting for their return to their communities?

 

Keynote Talk 

 

LaVerne David C. de la Peña (UPCE) – “Gather, Keep, and Return: the Transformation of the University of the Philippines Center for Ethnomusicology”

Established in 1997, the University of the Philippines (UP) Center for Ethnomusicology is a center for music research with material collections on the music cultures in the Philippines, Southeast Asia and other continents. Its core holding, the Jose Maceda Collection comprised recordings, field notes, video, film, photographs and musical instruments put together by Dr. Maceda and his associates since 1953. Recognizing the precious value of these archival materials, UNESCO inscribed it in its Memory of the World Register in the year 2007. In this presentation I discuss the new endeavor towards community engagement and empowerment that the leadership of the center has decided to pursue as illustrated in two projects – an ongoing music repatriation initiative and at the establishment of community-based archives
