Dear Colleagues,
First, apologies in advance for cross-posting. Please feel free to forward
to any interested party!
The program committee for Musicology at Kalamazoo (Cathy Ann Elias, James
Borders, and Julia Wingo Shinnick) is pleased to announce the following
sessions for the 43rd International Congress on Medieval Studies, May 8-11,
2008:
1. Theory and Practice in Medieval Music
2. Source Studies
3. Chant Within and Beyond the Middle Ages
4. Musical Medievalism
5. East and West in Medieval Music
6. Textual Issues in and out of Context
7. Music and Place
8. Secular Song Medieval Style
9. Renovation, Restoration, Refurbishing: Musical Makeovers
We hope many if not all of these sessions can foster some real dialogue
between musicologists and scholars in other areas, so we encourage
specialists in fields other than Music to submit proposals. Please keep in
mind as well that we intend these session titles mostly as "hooks" on which
a multitude of proposals can be placed rather than limitations, so send us
your best work (as the editors of JAMS are fond of saying), even if it
doesn't precisely seem to fit one of these topics--we may be able to make it
work anyway, and we'll try to find a place for as many good proposals as we
can.
Abstracts should be sent by 13 September to Cathy Ann Elias, program
committee chair, at the address below. Electronic submissions are welcome.
Please write in the subject part of the e-mail the following: KZOO 2008
(Please use my gmail account:

)
You'll also need to complete and submit an Abstract Cover Sheet from the
conference web site, available at http://www.wmich.edu/medieval/congress
/42cfp/forms.html. This is very important, not only because it is your only
chance to make A-V requests, but because it is required by the
MedievalInstitute. Be aware that this is a PDF document; if you don't
have Adobe
Acrobat (the writer, not just the reader) on your computer, you cannot save
a completed form, so you'll have to print it and send it via snail-mail or
fax.
If you have any questions, please contact Cathy Ann Elias. We look forward
to seeing you in Kalamazoo next May.
Cathy Ann Elias (Chair, DePaul University)
James Borders (University of Michigan)
Julia Wingo Shinnick (University of Louisville)
