Content
The aim is to consider the way in which music is listened to and received by composers, musicians and amateurs through a few theories of reception (Bourdieu, Weber, Becker, Hennion...), but also through contemporary theoretical issues such as those of gender, race, economy... The production and listening of music is not neutral. It depends on the sounds, of course, but also on the networks to which the listeners as well as the musicians belong, and on the conditions of creation and hearing of yesterday and today.
