Resumo

This paper aims to understand how, through the use of sounds and popular music the city dwellers outline different practices to share, dispute and divide space at two squares in Belo Horizonte. In order to do so, citizens manipulate sounds and their parameters, such as intensity, frequency and spatiality, and mobilize different musical repertoires. Taking the soundscape as a methodological technique that allows us to access the sound and the musical practices located in space in its materiality, we analyze texts, images and recorded sounds produced by fieldwork to demonstrate how people shape borders and sound ambiences - mobile and transient, but recurrent - “ DJing “ the sound of the place by such communication technologies.
