WFAE conference 2010: Ideologies and Ethics in the Uses and Abuses of Sound

Koli, Finland June 16-19, 2010

The conference will be held at Koli in Eastern Finland and organized by the Department of Finnish Language and Cultural Research (University of Eastern Finland), the Finnish Society for Acoustic Ecology and the World Forum for Acoustic Ecology. Koli is a plausible site for reflecting upon ideologies, ethics and soundscapes, since it was amongst the key places of the national romantic artist pilgrims in the late 19th century Finland.
