CFP - 21st Quinquennial Congress of the International Musicological Society

21st Quinquennial Congress of the International Musicological Society

August 22-26, 2022

 

Music across Borders

"In a world interconnected by global networks and partitioned by resurgent nationalism, racism, travel bans, and now a global pandemic, borders are sites of contestation. Nevertheless, musicians continue to move, as they always have, via diasporas, repatriation, and forced or voluntary migration, bringing along musics, practices, and artifacts, interacting with new environments, and often giving voice to minority communities. Moreover, thanks to the circulation enabled by recording “technologies”–from memory and notation to .MP3s–music has long defied the spatial and temporal limits of physical travel. In short, music is highly mobile.

In recent decades, scholars grappling with globalization, imperialism, and migration have abandoned static intellectual frameworks based on ideologies of cultural wholeness, generating a “mobility” turn with far-reaching consequences for the human sciences. Music-making and research have privileged cosmopolitanism and cultural flux in ways that challenge dominant canons. Theories of intermediality are currently reimagining genres and repertoires as inherently unstable. Yet the decentering force of this artistic and conceptual mobility has itself raised pressing questions around disciplinary border-crossing, hyphenated methodologies, and epistemic responsibility.

The IMS2022 Program Committee invites proposals from across the musicologies and beyond that spark the following discussions: What research is emerging on the ground in connected histories, border-crossing source studies, media studies, music theories, and local/global studies of music? As we work across genres, practices, spaces real and virtual, hemispheres, beliefs, societies, and systems of knowledge, what relations structure encounters and comparisons? Are they just? How could musicology’s interactions with arts practices, fiction, science, ecology, sociology, health, and law be increased and improved? What techniques allow analytic, historical, and anthropological methods to be intertwined most effectively? How do the practices of musicians on the move–translation, transformation, mediation–inform our theoretical paradigms?"

Categories of Presentation

"Proposals are invited for free papers, roundtables, and study sessions. The Program Committee seeks free papers that reflect current research as broadly as possible. Each free paper is allotted 30 minutes, with 20 minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for Q&A. Roundtables are to focus exclusively on topics relevant to the themes of the Congress (see above). The length of each roundtable is 120 minutes, including Q&A and discussion. Study sessions are more “informal” in nature, providing an opportunity for scholars to exchange ideas on the issues, methodologies, and research frameworks of a given topic while opening the discussion to all Congress participants. The length of each study session is limited to 90 minutes, including Q&A and discussion".

.......

"All proposals must be submitted online between January 15  to June 30, 2021 to be considered. Successful applicants will be notified by email no later than October 31, 2021".

CFP KISMIF International Conference ‘Keep It Simple, Make It Fast! Gender, differences, identities and DIY cultures’ (KISMIF Conference 2018)

We are pleased to announce the fourth KISMIF International Conference ‘Keep It Simple, Make It Fast! Gender, differences, identities and DIY cultures’ (KISMIF Conference 2018) which will take place in Porto, Portugal, between 3 July and 7 July 2018. The submission of abstracts for this conference is open to academic researchers working in all areas of sociology, anthropology, history, cultural economics, geography, urban planning, media and cultural studies and cognate disciplines, such as design, illustration, popular music, cinema, visual and performing arts. This initiative follows the great success of the three past editions of the KISMIF Conference (held in 2014, 2015 and 2016) and brings together an international community of researchers focusing on underground music scenes and do-it-yourself culture. The KISMIF Conference offers a unique forum where participants can discuss and share information about underground cultures and DIY practices. KISMIF focuses on cultural practices that are often pitched against more mainstream, mass-produced and commodified forms of cultural production. Aligned with this is an anti-hegemonic ideology focused around aesthetic and lifestyle politics. KISMIF is the first and so far, only conference to examine the theory and practice of underground DIY cultures as an increasingly significant form of cultural practice in a global context. The conference has a multidisciplinary approach, welcoming contributions from the global community of scholars and activists working on all aspects of underground scenes and DIY cultures, and based on various methodologies — quantitative, qualitative and mixed-methods analysis. The goal is to discuss not only music but also other artistic fields such as film and video, graffiti and street art, theatre and the performing arts, literature and poetry, radio, programming and editing, graphic design, illustration, cartoon and comic fiction. Seeking to respond to the desire reiterated by researchers, artists and activists present at previous KISMIF conferences, the 4th edition of KISMIF will focus on ‘Gender, differences, identities and DIY cultures’, directing its attention on gender issues relating to underground scenes and DIY cultures, and their manifestation at local, translocal and virtual levels. Expressions of gender in local, translocal and virtual spaces constitute important variables to understand contemporary cultures, their sounds, their practices (artistic, cultural, economic and social), their actors and their contexts. From a postcolonial and glocalized perspective, it is important to consider the changes in artistic and musical practices with an underground nature to draw symbolic boundaries between their operating modalities and those of advanced capitalism. In 2018, the scientific programme of KISMIF will once again be accompanied by a diverse social and cultural programme, characterised by a series of artistic events, with special focus on underground music and other artistic expressions. The aim is to provide a unique experience in terms of the transglobal DIY cultures. The conference will be preceded by a summer school entitled ‘What difference do DIY cultures make?’ on 3 July 2018 in Faculty of Arts and Humanities of University of Porto. The summer school will offer an opportunity for all interested persons, including those participating in the conference, to attend workshops led by specialists in these fields. More information about the Summer School will be progressively disseminated in the KISMIF Conference website. Source: https://www.kismifconference.com/en/call-kismif-conference-2018-2/

CFP “El concierto en España (ss. XVIII-XXI): aspectos históricos, productivos, interpretativos e ideológicos”

La Universidad de la Rioja y el ICCMU, a través de sus proyectos de investigación I+D, MadMusic (Comunidad de Madrid, S2015/HUM-3483) y MECRI (Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad, HAR2014-53143-P), organizan el congreso internacional “El concierto en España (ss. XVIII-XXI): aspectos históricos, productivos, interpretativos e ideológicos”, cuyo plazo de presentación de comunicaciones está abierto.

El congreso se celebrará los días 23 y 24 de noviembre de 2017 en la Biblioteca Histórica Marqués de Valdecilla de Madrid.

Presentación

En este congreso se propone un estudio del concierto como fenómeno social, cultural y musical. La historia de la música ha sido concebida desde el comienzo de la historiografía como una sucesión de compositores, intérpretes e instituciones. Esta visión ha cambiado solo en las últimas décadas, por influjo, por una parte, de la historia de la cultura y de la antropología, que han reivindicado el contexto social y cultural de la actividad musical, y, por otra, de los performance studies, que han dejado en evidencia una clamorosa ausencia en la historia de la música: la interpretación de la obra. El significado de la obra musical, por tanto, es variable y está en continuo proceso de (re)creación y cambio a través de las numerosas interpretaciones históricas que puede tener.
Como consecuencia de este cambio de paradigma, el concierto y la interpretación que acoge pasan al centro del debate musicológico, cambiando sustancialmente su posición dentro de la historia de la música. Así, el concierto ha pasado de ser un evento accesorio que documentaba la trayectoria de un compositor o de una obra a ser un evento central en donde, por así decir, tiene lugar la misma historia de la música, en tanto que solo ahí la obra musical adquiere carta de naturaleza.
Con la celebración del congreso se pretende contribuir a cambiar este panorama impulsando el estudio de los distintos aspectos históricos, productivos, interpretativos e ideológicos del concierto en España durante un amplio marco cronológico.
