This article uses a theoretical framework that applies the umwelt concept proposed by the biologist Jacob von uexküll, along with that of the historian Aby Warburg’s pathosformel, from whom the idea of ”surviving image” also comes, through Georges Didi-Huberman. This idea is transformed here into “surviving sonorities,” from sound studies as a methodological possibility. The city becomes umwelt (“lived world”), inhabited by pathosformel (“pathos formulas”), which are manifested in “surviving sounds” that can be recognized as ethnoepistemes, in this case, manifest in Western aesthetic and epistemic imaginary about an “other-knowledge” of the Bribri-Cabécar people, a surviving indigenous community in Costa Rica.

Palabras llave : sound studies; artistic research; decolonial studies; Central American art; urban studies.
