CFP: International Musicological Society East Asian Regional Association,
Second Biennial Conference, 18-20 OCT 2013, Taipei
Inaugurated in Seoul 2011, IMS-EA invites all music researchers working
in/on the region (including nonmembers) to submit proposals with the theme:
MUSICS IN THE SHIFTING GLOBAL ORDER
Within the shifting global order, East Asia has been rapidly transforming
its status from an object of study to an active producer and promoter of
knowledge. While the “West” has established itself since the waves of
European colonization as the generator of theories and methods as well as
the frame of reference, postcolonial and post-Cold War interactions between
East Asia and the West have admitted mutual transformations. Music, a human
phenomenon that is unifying yet alienating, transcendental yet mundane,
stands inevitably at this critical juncture. Particularly, this conference
aims to address these issues:
- How has the previous global order ordered, prescribed or organized our
musical practices and researches in/on the region? How has the shifting of
global order related to certain paradigm shifts in our discipline, e.g.
from the epistemology of “the music” to that of “musics”? What musical or
scholarly traditions have resisted the shifting, and what new formations
have emerged from it?
- Conversely, how could our engagement with “musics” possibly shift the
global order, and in what directions? Are there examples of making music or
doing musicology that do matter to societies and individual lives in the
region? What are the challenges and consequences for our institutions?
To embrace diverse approaches, IMS-EA also welcomes new researches beyond
the general theme.
