Abstract
Soundmaps have captured the imagination of acoustic communities,
libraries and radio stations alike. These interactive maps have placed
soundscape collections and research in a more public and interactive
space than ever before. However, does this new form reflect some of the
polarizations of past sound projects or are there new fractures to be
considered, such as gender, economy and the domestic/public divide? This
paper will reflect upon the challenges and hierarchies that have
developed alongside this new medium and will begin to critique and
question this new form of sound engagement.
