Performance Research
Volume 15, No. 3 (September 2010) 'On Listening'
Issue Editor: Catherine Laws (with Ric Allsopp)
CALL FOR PAPERS
On Listening
Sound is an important component of much art work; increasingly so, thanks
to recent audio technologies. Sound has particular characteristics that
can be exploited artistically. We cannot close our ears as we can our
eyes, and sound can transport us across either space or time with a unique
immediacy. However, relatively little attention is paid, still, to the
ways in which listening, as an imaginative activity, is invoked in
artistic contexts. Even in the fields of music and sound art, the act of
listening and the role of the listener are ascribed far less attention
than questions of artistic intention, execution, or sonic materiality.
This issue will focus on artistic practices and works in which listening
has a significant role to play, in particular:
- listening as a reflexive process: work in which the listener becomes
conscious of
her/ his own listening as significant to the artistic experience;
- listening as a form of interaction in the processes of composing/ making/
devising;
- listening as a reflective process towards and in performance;
- listening as a performative act: either the foregrounding of listening in
performance, or the performativity of an audient’s listening;
- listening as an embodied process.
The volume will bring together perspectives from a range of fields,
including music, sound art, and other performance practices: proposals are
invited from any relevant area. The format of Performance Research allows
for artists’ pages and other visual representations alongside articles,
interviews, documents or reviews. If appropriate, the volume will include
audio documentation, on CD.
