Three thematically distinct aspects of sonic imagination are investigated-archive, context, and identification-together with two modes of connection with the environment-metaphorical projection and affect attunement. It is argued that much of the available work on sonic imagination, music perception, and embodied cognitive science suffers from a one-person perspective, unable to explain either the difference between environmental sound and culture-specific music, or the dominant role of feelings in our musical experiences. In its stead an approach is suggested that assigns central importance to affect attunement in our encounters with sound and music. Through a case study, different types of sonic control are exemplified, showing that control of sonic imagination may be both negative and positive for the listener.

Esteems that 15% of Brazilian children are obese. Objective: check the specific aspects in the clinical treatment for obesity and nutrition of children and adolescents. Methodology: systematic review of 16 national articles from 1984 to 2008. Results: In the studies analyzed in this review were found to be increased by 92%, the prevalence of childhood obesity while malnutrition remained practically unchanged. Regarding the practice of physical activity the boys exercised more intense activity than girls, and they attended fewer physical education classes. Assessing the intake of adolescents, there was the detection of 3.645kcal media daily, and 77.9% ate high fat content. Conclusion: Obesity can be treated through dietary restriction, exercise, drug regulators of appetite and even surgeries. Dietary treatment is usually based on stimulating the reduction of foods high in fat and simple sugars, emphasizing the consumption of foods with low calories and high concentration of fibers such as fruits, vegetables and all kinds of grain. The encouragement of physical activity is of great importance in the treatment of obesity, since the exercise serves to increase energy expenditure leading to a balance between caloric intake and energy expenditure, contributing to the balance of body weight.

It discusses how processes of musicalization relate to and interact with processes of mediatization. Musicalization is defined as an ever-increasing presence of music in culture and everyday life. As such, it comprises both a discursive and a dramaturgical dimension. In the first part of the chapter, these dimensions or aspects of musicalization are considered in detail. The second part discusses how musicalization relates to mediatization. We argue that three possible variants of this relation can be discerned: musicalization may be regarded as (a) quantitatively conditioned by mediatization, (b) a qualitative part of mediatization, and (c) a relatively autonomous phenomenon in relation to mediatization. As such, musicalization involves both analogue and digital modes of communication.

Focus is on Sweden from 1900 to 1970. The turn of the century marks the beginning of private listening to phonograms, while by 1970 media such as gramophone, film and tape recorders had become part of the everyday lives of most Swedes.The investigation is designed as four sub-projects, based on four overarching issues that simultaneously complement and mutually illuminate each other. Each sub-project articulates problems that to varying degrees actualize intermedial comparisons. Each highlight re-contextualising and re-mediating practices, as well as mutually influencing changes on cultural ma...

The years between 1900 and 1970 saw the introduction and establishing of the gramophone, radio, film, tape recorder and television in Sweden, media that have changed the conditions for both music listening and other musical practices. Using different methods (e.g. discourse analysis, historical ethnography) the project investigates four mutually illuminating sub areas, all filling significant knowledge gaps. Important questions are 1) how did the emergence of the new living room interact with phonography and ways of listening to music? 2), how was home taping to be distinguished from music listening, considering both spatial/practical and ideological/substantial aspects? 3), how did the genre categories of the phonogram market, as well as what was written in advertisements and in the press, affect ideas about what was listened to? 4), how did sound film, through its representations of music reproduction devices and listening in different everyday settings affect (affirming? legitimizing?) the mediatisation processes that music went through in Sweden? In addition to musicological research the project will contribute to knowledge of an area that concerns many but is unknown to most: how our perception and apprehension of music and sound affect and is affected by processes of mediatisation, disciplining and localisation.
