CALL FOR PAPERS:
We are pleased to announce the Third International Symposium on Music and Sonic Art: Practices and Theories (MuSA), an interdisciplinary two-day event to be held in Karlsruhe, Germany.
The principal aim of MuSA 2012 is to advance interdisciplinary investigations between music, sonic arts and other disciplines such as dance, theatre, digital media, visual arts and architecture. There will be three distinct (though related) themes to MuSA 2012:
First, we welcome presentations in ‘traditional’ subject areas such as historical/critical musicology, performance studies, aesthetics, analysis and ethnomusicology. Second, as the symposium’s title suggests, we hope to encourage the submission of papers investigating relationships (and possible tensions) between music and sonic/sound art. Third, presentations are also invited from scholars who are researching the connections between music/sonic art and disciplines such as architecture, painting, theatre and literature. Papers dealing with any subject area that is within the broad remit of the symposium will also be welcomed.

Please submit an abstract of approximately 300 words as an e-mail attachment to Prof. Dr. Mine Doğantan-Dack ([log in to unmask]).
