Analysis of Musical Practices
To this end, the team develops an approach that is simultaneously empirical (by borrowing its tools from the social sciences as well as the cognitive sciences), integrative (by connecting musical objects, practices, and discourses to general theoretical questions), and contextual (by approaching practices as dynamic and socially situated complexities).
The team's work is disseminated through publications and colloquia within the various scientific communities concerned (musicology, history, philosophy, aesthetics, cognitive sciences, sociology, genetic criticism, anthropology, the study of science and technology). It is also the subject of other forms of dissemination: short documentaries, teaching at universities and to the general public, computer developments, conferences-performances, recordings, etc.
