CALL FOR PAPERS
British Association for Slavonic and East European Studies
Study Group for Russian and Eastern European Music
Annual Conference 2010
‘Central and Eastern European Music: Musical Crossroads?’
Oxford University Faculty of Music (Denis Arnold Hall)
Saturday 26 June 2010
The BASEES Study Group for Russian and Eastern European Music invites proposals for its 2010 annual conference, to be held at the Faculty of Music, University of Oxford, on Saturday 26 June. Past conferences have been devoted to the themes of ‘Eastern European Musical Relations’, ‘Music in Russia and Eastern Europe after “The Thaw”’, ‘Russia’s Musical Revolutionaries’, and ‘Musical Nationalism and Modernism in Russia and Eastern Europe’. This year, we would like to bring Central and Eastern European music further into the spotlight. Proposals are especially welcome that deal with the musical relationships between these countries, as well as between them and countries from other regions of Europe: Western and Southern Europe, Scandinavia and the Nordic lands, and Russia. Apart from highlighting inter-European musical dialogues, we hope that the conference will also reflect on how Central and Eastern European music may be defined in a number of ways depending on the context (political, cultural, historical, geographical), as well as analysing music’s particular role in shaping and negotiating various European identities. While REEM’s previous conferences featured papers that primarily employed historical musicological methods, we would welcome papers that draw on ethnomusicological approaches.
Convenors: Katerina Levidou and Philip Bullock
