Abstract

This article offers a retrospective description and assessment of PoéticaSonora MX’s work in recent years, a consolidated research-creation project in studies on voice, sonority and speech, formed by teachers, students and graduates of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (Mexico City) and Concordia University (Montreal, Canada). It also presents new critical reflections on the development and maintenance of the Digital Audio Repository. After the inauguration of its new site and domain in 2022, the project has entered a new phase of specialization in which new challenges are expected, both at the human level (professional training, job offers inside and outside the academy, resources, and conditions for interdisciplinary projects), and also the search for alternatives and the constant reformulation of objectives, which keeps this type of project attentive, aware and alive.
