CIM11: Conference on Interdisciplinary Musicology 2011
Glasgow Scotland, August 30, 2011 – September 3, 2011
Convenors: Science and Music Research Group, Glasgow University
School of Engineering and Computing, Glasgow Caledonian University
Deadline for Submission of Abstracts: Friday April 15, 2011
Abstracts should be submitted via the conference website
http://www.n-ism.org/CIM2011
The text must be in English.
As the contrasting approaches and methods of sciences, humanities and
arts continue to interpenetrate and cross-fertilize, musicologists
have been posing new questions about the culture, history, physics,
biology, psychology and sociology of music performance. CIM11 will
provide a unique opportunity for music performance researchers to
achieve new trans-disciplinary synergies by working together with
colleagues with contrasting epistemological backgrounds.
The CIM series involves all musicological sub-disciplines and
paradigms (analytical, applied, comparative, cultural, empirical,
ethnological, historical, popular, scientific, systematic,
theoretical) and all musically relevant disciplines (acoustics,
aesthetics, anthropology, archeology, art history and theory,
biology, composition, computing, cultural studies, economics,
education, ethnology, gender studies, history, linguistics, literary
studies, mathematics, medicine, music theory and analysis,
neurosciences, perception, performance, philosophy, physiology,
prehistory, psychoacoustics, psychology, religious studies). For
further information see http://www.uni-graz.at/~parncutt/cim/.
Each submission must have at least two authors who represent two of
the following three broad areas:
* Humanities such as aesthetics, anthropology, archeology, art
history and theory, cultural studies, ethnology, linguistics,
literary studies, music history, ethnomusicology, cultural studies,
prehistory, theoretical sociology, philosophy, semiotics, sociology
and music theory/analysis
* Sciences such as acoustics, biology, computing, linguistics,
mathematics, perception, psychoacoustics, empirical psychology and
sociology, physiology, statistics and computer science
* Practically oriented disciplines including performance,
composition, education, engineering, medicine and therapy
All abstract submissions to CIM11 must address an issue in music
performance, e.g.:
* Physical, biological, psychological and cultural constraints
on performance
* Creativity: composition, interpretation, improvisation,
expression
* Movement, gesture, dance, corporality, sexuality, gender
* Performance skills and their acquisition
* Timing and intonation
* Practice, rehearsal, ensemble, conducting
* Measurement, analysis and interpretation of performance
attributes
* Coping with performance situations, interactions, injuries
* Performance on specific instruments including the voice
* Electronic performance interfaces and environments
* Comparisons across musical styles, genres, cultures
* Sociology, politics and economics of performers and performance
PS.....it will be noted (http://www.n-ism.org/CIM2011) that CIM11 is
being held concurrently with two other conferences:
The Anatomy of Listening (sponsored by the Royal Society of
Edinburgh) and
The Workshop on International Cross-Disciplinary Research
Collaboration in Science and Music (sponsored by Universitas 21)
