- Abstract
- (en) This article is an ethnographic exploration of the sound milieu of a psychiatric day care center for teenagers. It draws on the daily life of this place and emphasizes different ways of adjusting its sound ambiance, which is also moral and affective, as it navigates between noise relaunches and attenuations, between the moments that are too quiet and those that are boisterous. The article shows how these ambiance adjustments lure into modest attachments, i.e. the various inclinations emerging among the youths and thanks to which care- givers particularize their care work. The narrative leads to discern a way of listening: when the ambiance disposes caregivers and the teens "to lend an ear", as noises or stillness in the surroundings catch their attention. And it brings out the consequences of this form of listening in the care practice.
