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, Mary
Wolinski, and Julia Wingo Shinnick) is pleased to announce the following
sessions for the 4^th International Congress on Medieval Studies, May
7-10, 2009:
Music, Liturgy, and Cluny: 1100 Years of Tradition
The Medieval Fiddle: Performance, Technology, and Repertory
Medieval Music: Performance and Improvisation
Medieval Music Theorists who Hate Each Other!
Medieval Music Theory and Sister Disciplines
Medieval Sources: From Song to Book
Motets in and out of Context
Mouvance: The Mobility of Medieval Musical Texts
Musical Medievalism: Now and Then
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 2009 (Please use my gmail account: [log in to unmask])
You'll also need to complete and submit the “Participant Information
Form” from the conference website, available at
http://www.wmich.edu/medieval/congress/submissions.html#Paper. This is
very important, not only because it is your only chance to make A-V
requests, but because it is required by the Medieval Institute. Please
note that the form appears at the bottom of the page. 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.
