Music as Art, Artefact and Fact.
Music Research in the 21st Century
Call for Papers
The diversity of music research has flourished in recent decades. The traditional ontological perspective of music as art remains prevalent and continues to inspire new areas ofresearch. From this tradition, the study of artefacts has developed and is today not only confined to manuscripts, printed music, and instruments, but also includes recordings andother connected items of significance for the study of music and its performance practice. The study of artefacts often involves research questions, which activateepistemological perspectives concerning the cultural heritage and construction of musical knowledge. With the increasing digital dissemination of music, contextual aspects ofthe musical performance are potentially concealed, leaving the listener to relate to the sounding music as an isolated phenomenon or fact. So even if the title hints at a historicaldimension, the three categories (art, artefact, fact) are of potential relevance to music research in all of its forms.
Researchers from all musicological disciplines are hereby invited to submit proposals to be presented at IMS in Stavanger, July 2016. The Programme Committee looksforward to receiving contributions from a wide range of disciplines, opening up for musicological perspectives relevant to the multifaceted society of the 21st century.
Contributions are invited from (but not restricted to):
In addition to paper and poster sessions, there will be several panel discussions challenging the disciplines and their perspectives (and terminology) on musical phenomena,addressing themes such as “What is Early Music in the 21st century?”, “Music History vs. Music Analysis?”, and “Music Embodiment vs. Music Performance?”
Proposals for all categories (paper, poster, and panel) should be submitted as an abstract of max 300 words to the following email address: http://conventor.web123.no/UiS /IMS2016/
Deadline: 1 October 2015.
All submissions will be peer reviewed by at least two members of the Programme Committee, and notice of acceptance will be given by 15 December 2015. The preliminary program will be published in February 2016, with registration to the conference from 15 February 2016.
