CALL FOR APPLICATIONS
Applications are invited for the tenth annual MANNES INSTITUTE ON MUSICAL AESTHETICS at the University of Chicago from June 24-27, 2010 at www.mannes.edu/mi. The deadline is March 1.
Six advanced workshops of fifteen scholars each will convene at the University of Chicago for three 3-hour sessions under the leadership of an international faculty of experts to explore a single topic in depth at the highest level of inquiry. The mode of discourse is group discussion and collegial debate rather than individual paper presentations. Prior preparation and active participation are essential. Members enroll in one morning workshop and one afternoon workshop from the following curriculum:
MORNING WORKSHOPS
• Aesthetics of Analysis with Berthold Hoeckner and Steven Rings (University of Chicago)
• Music Aesthetics and The Body with Susan McClary (University of California Los Angeles)
• The Musical Sublime with Alexander Rehding (Harvard University)
AFTERNOON WORKSHOPS
• Beethoven and The Aesthetics of Freedom with Daniel Chua (University of Hong Kong)
• Literary Models and Music with Fred Maus (University of Virginia)
• Critique - Aesthetics - Politics with Martin Scherzinger (New York University)
PLENARY SESSION
• Numinous Particles: On the Aesthetics of Musical Meaning with Lawrence Kramer (Fordham University)
Professional music theorists and musicologists are invited to apply. Scholars who have not previously participated are especially welcome. Workshop descriptions and study lists are published on the Institute's website with the application form, selection criteria, schedule of events, housing information, policies and mission statement. Senior scholars may have but do not need prior background; midlevel and junior scholars should demonstrate relevant scholarship. All applications are adjudicated by committee.
THINK TOGETHER
Celebrating a decade of service, the Mannes Institute has earned global acclaim as a unique scholarly think tank at the forefront of music scholarship. The Institute is an independent entity subsidized entirely by private individuals with no institutional support from Mannes College of Music, the University of Chicago, or any other source. Come join your peers and share in this transformative experience in collaborative learning. Think Together.
