Sung poetry and human lives in sound archives: Lyrical and satirical songs in hendecasyllabic lines recorded in Romagna by Giuseppe Bellosi and Tullia Magrini.

This paper deals with the recently digitised recordings made by Tullia Magrini and Giuseppe Bellosi in Romagna in the 1970s and early 1980s during their fieldwork on lyrical and satirical songs in hendecasyllabic lines. The recordings allow us to know who were the singers that the two scholars met, how the interaction between researchers and informants took place and how the singers contributed to the process of knowledge. This paper would like to suggest a special task for sound archives: the reconstruction of the relationships between the people involved in the processes of knowledge of musical diversity.
