The Sonoristic Triangle, Or, What Claude Lévi-Strauss Would Have Said About Sound Culture If He Had Not Talked About Cooking Instead

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is cultural analysis of modern and postmodern sound culture, based on a structuralist description of the differences between acoustic (traditional), electroacoustic (modern) and electronic (postmodern) sound. The analytical model applied in this study is the so-called “culinary triangle” proposed by Claude Lévi-Strauss and modified here to a “sonoristic triangle” which describes the transition of culture from modernity to postmodernity.
