Social milieus - Sonification by Joachim Allhoff

Within social research, data are usually presented in diagrams or tables. However, there are already various approaches that deal with sonification. For this sonification project, data from the five different German social milieus by social scientist Gerhard Schulze were processed and converted using the Sonification Sandbox software.
In his milieu model several experience patterns dominate in different milieus. Based on these milieus, Schulze defines the term experience society as "... a society that is relatively strongly shaped by internally oriented life views."
In his model five milieus are described, which are characterized and named more strongly through leisure activities and chosen lifestyle (in hierarchical grading):
• High-class milieu (academics)
• Self-realization milieu (students)
• Integration milieu (employees and civil servants)
• harmony milieu (old workers)
• entertainment milieu (young workers)
