La chronotopie du paysage sonore urbain des places publiques : le cas de la place 1er novembre 1954 à Béjaïa (Algérie)

Abstract

This article proposes the study of soundscape temporal forms through a research on the uses of public places in Algeria. We develop the notion of chronotopy, which describes simultaneously the spatial and temporal dimensions of public spaces, thus allowing us to reveal the constituent structures of the soundscape. So does the trialectic reflection between "urban morphology, space uses and soundscape" reveals the spatio-temporal dynamics structuring of the cultural identity of the space experience of the square.
