Sounds in the City: Street Technology and Public Space

Call for Papers, Presentations and Performances


Taking place in Naples on the weekend of 5th, 6th and 7th April 2019, Sound System Outernational 5: Sounds in the City: Street Technology and Public Space explores the wide range of issues, theories and practices located at the intersection of music, sound, technology, migration, race and the emergent politics of contemporary urban space. Across the globe the adaptation of Jamaican sound system culture has stimulated an innovative approach to sound technologies deployed to re-configure public spaces as sites for conviviality, celebration, resistance and different ways-of-knowing. In a world of digital social media, the shared, multi-sensory, social and embodied experience of the sound system session becomes ever more important and valuable. With methodologies emphasizing local participation and professional sound system practices-as-research we draw on Cultural and Postcolonial Studies, Sound Studies, Popular Music Studies, Critical Black Studies and Caribbean Critical Theory.



We welcome participation from artists, engineers, musicians, selectors, academics, activists and anyone else who participates directly or indirectly in sound system culture. Contributions can be creative, practical, or research-based. It may be in the form of a workshop, exhibition, talk, film screening, display, or demonstration. We welcome all engaging with sound system music, culture, community, gender, technology, dance, oral histories, graphics, business, marketing etc, especially from global and intergenerational perspectives. Contributions welcomed on (but not limited to)

- Global to local adaptations of Jamaican sound culture

- Sound, technology and gender

- Music, technology and black diaspora

- Sound, music and migration

- Auditory epistemologies

- DIY sonic cultures and technologies

- Sonic resistance and urban space

Sounds in the City: Street Technology and Public Space is designed as a multi-layered event hosted at Università degli Studi di Napoli L’Orientale with local social movement partners. Over two days and interacting with the city of Naples in its rich academic, social, political and musical dimensions, the event includes include talks, roundtables, exhibitions and film screenings. It also features a sound system dance hosting local and international performers in some of the city’s most iconic social spaces as well as exhibitions and other events.
