Call for papers: 8th International CHIME Conference (Sheffield, 26-29 July
2002)
East Asian musics are sometimes assumed by the unfamiliar to be dry,
intellectual, calculated, formal. The 8th International Conference of
CHIME, the European Foundation for Chinese Music, puts the spotlight on the
earthy, the passionate, and the impulsive. How is music the food of love in
China and her neighbours, and how have the passions inspired the musical
urge? These and related questions will be addressed in a conference headed
'Sex, Love, and Romance: Reflections on the Passions in East Asian Music'.
The meeting is hosted by the Music Department of the University of
Sheffield in England, and is scheduled to take place from 26 to 29 July
2002. Topics range from romanticism and love as represented in opera and
stage genres to flirting and courtship in folk songs, or from aspects of
gender in East Asian music to the impact of 'holy' passions in ritual and
devotional genres in countries like China, Vietnam, Korea and Japan.
Abstracts of around 300 words are now invited for twenty-minute
presentations. Proposers may also submit panel sessions of a maximum of 120
minutes (including discussion)-in this case, an abstract of around 300
words should detail the theme and interest of the panel as a whole, with
abstracts of 100-200 words for each contribution. A small number of papers
will also be accepted under the open theme of 'New Research' (preference
will be given to students) and poster presentations may also be offered.
In order to generate a maximum of concentrated debate and feedback
to presenters, the conference will be organised without parallel sessions.
Consideration of abstracts will begin on 15 November 2001 and continue
until all slots are allocated. Early acceptance and letters of invitation
are available for those who need them to secure funding. Send abstracts,
