ANALYSIS, COGNITION AND ETHNOMUSICOLOGY:

Joint Meeting of the Third International Conference on Analytical Approaches to World Music (AAWM 2014), and the Annual Conference of the British Forum for Ethnomusicology (BFE 2014), in association with the Centre for Music and Science (University of Cambridge), and the Society for Music Analysis

CALL FOR PAPERS

Building on the foundations of the First and Second International Conferences on Analytical Approaches to World Music, AAWM 2014 continues to explore the panoply of global musical traditions, both past and present, that lie outside the purview of Western Art Music from the broadest possible array of theoretical, cultural, historical and analytical perspectives. By bringing together theorists, ethnomusicologists, musicologists, and performers of diverse cultural and academic orientations, AAWM 2014 provides a unique interdisciplinary forum for cultivating new modes of musical description and understanding capable of navigating the vast multicultural soundscape of the twenty-first century.

We welcome papers in English not exceeding 30 minutes duration (plus 15 minutes for discussion). Please send proposals of up to 500 words (excluding musical examples) via email to:

Jay Rahn (York University)
