- Abstract
The article presents the book "La escucha actual" by Antonio Méndez Rubio, which explores the links between sound texts and social practices in the technological and social media era. It highlights the importance of active and participatory listening as a social and political act that allows us to rethink the experience and roles of individuals in society. The book addresses topics such as reduced listening, expanded listening, and the relationship between listening and the hyper-technologized society. It also analyzes background music in shopping centers and the relationship between listening and image in cinema and other audiovisual shows. It proposes different listening schemes and reflects on the responsibility of listening in shaping the sound landscape. It concludes by suggesting that listening can be a libertarian challenge.
