Propuesta didáctica para el estudio del sentido de lugar y el paisaje sonoro. La región del lago de Pátzcuaro, México a finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX

This paper reflects on how soundscape research can contribute to the teaching of cultural geography concepts. The first part of this paper examines the role of the soundscape in the development of the sense of place from a historical perspective. We particularly examine the case of the Lake Patzcuaro region in the late 19th and early 20th century. Using newspaper and bibliographic sources, we identify references to sounds that sometimes were associated with nostalgia and pleasure contributing to people’s sense of place. The second part of this papers explores how this knowledge can be used to teach key concepts of cultural geography, such as landscape, place, and sense of place, representing a contribution to the teaching of geography.
