Author Biography

Alcina Cortez, Universidade NOVA de Lisboa

Alcina Cortez is a researcher, curator, and producer of exhibitions. She served at Expo’98 (1998), and at Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation in Portugal (2001-11). She studied piano, cello and composition, graduated in Musicology (1992), took postgraduate courses in Popular Music Studies (2011) and Acoustic and Sound Studies (2019), and obtained her MCs (2014) and her PhD (2022) in Ethnomusicology/Museum Studies. Her research explores the intricate relationship between humans and exhibited sound in museums, delving into the nuances of perception, sensation, and the complex processes of creating meaning. Her insights have culminated in a book and multiple articles featured in journals such as Popular Music, Sound Studies and Curator, The Museum Journal. Additionally, she presides as Chair of the International Conference Sound in Museums, leading discussions at the nexus of auditory experience and cultural display, and is the corresponding editor of the upcoming The Bloomsbury Handbook of Sound in Museums (to be released in 2026).
