Abstract

Our purpose is to investigate the less known, neglected or even the less perceived aspects of sound, which are part of today’s everyday soundscape. Moreover we are going to examine the music, the voices and the sounds which are curbed by forces and powers or lost with the passing of time. Finally, we will give particular attention to polysemy and the dialectic of silences.
