Call for Papers
Music and Psychoanalysis Study Day
Wednesday 13 November 2013
University of Liverpool
Psychoanalysis is becoming more prevalent in studies on music and musicians
over the past thirty years. At least within contemporary Anglophone
scholarship, researchers have applied the critical theories of Freud and
Lacan to a wide range of topics from semiotics to embodied performativity
for a better understanding of musical aesthetics and epistemology. From
David Schwarz’s socio-political analyses of German and American classics to
Richard Middleton’s rigorous method of working through the history of the
Anglo-American popular song, psychoanalysis has been established as a
method de rigueur for the twenty-first-century music and humanities scholar.
With the rise in popularity and curiosity of psychoanalytic theories,
including those by Freud, Lacan, Kristeva, Badiou and Žižek, in Musicology
and related studies, we are organising a Study Day to celebrate the
diversity of international scholarship within this inter-discipline. We are
honoured to have Prof. David Schwarz (author of Listening Subjects and
Listening Awry) as keynote speaker and would like to invite papers
addressing these or other topics of interest:
Music History and Analysis | Techniques of Composition | Music Ethnography |
Performance Practice | Opera or Musical Theatre | Popular music or Film
music |
Traditional music or New music | Gender, Sexuality, Class, Race or Language
|
Technologies and Digitalization | Music and Philosophy, Psychology or
Politics |
We welcome abstracts of up to 250 words for (i) 20-minute papers with 10
minutes of questions and answers, (ii) short lecture-recital, or (iii)
poster presentations. We also invite proposals for 90-minute panels of
other presentation formats. Submissions including the presenter's name,
email address and institutional affiliation (if any) should be emailed to
the Study Day co-ordinator at <[log in to unmask]> by Saturday 13 July
2013.
Committee members: J. P. E. Harper-Scott (Royal Holloway, London), Freya
Jarman (Liverpool), Kenneth Smith (Liverpool) and Jun Zubillaga-Pow (King's
College, London)
The Study Day is made possible by generous support from the University of
Liverpool, the Royal Musical Association and the Society for Music
Analysis. Prospective publication projects will be considered during the
Study Day itself. More information is available at
