Music and Philosophy 2014: Call for Papers
4th Annual Conference of the Royal Musical Association Music and Philosophy Study Group in collaboration with the Music and Philosophy Study Group of the American Musicological Society
Department of Music and Department of Philosophy, Kings College London, Friday and Saturday, 27-28 June 2014
Generously supported by Kings College London and the British Society of Aesthetics.

The RMA Music and Philosophy Study Group warmly invites paper submissions for its two-day international conference, to be held in London on 27-28 June 2014. The event, the fourth of an annual series of conferences run by the Study Group, will offer an opportunity for those with an interest in music and philosophy to share and discuss work, in the hope of furthering dialogue in this area. Departing from the practice in previous years, we will not have a conference theme in 2014, in order to allow engagement with the widest possible range of interests. As such, paper submissions on all topics relating to the area of music and philosophy are welcome. Collaboration between persons from different disciplines (including music studies, philosophy, performance, composition, psychology, history, literary studies, art history, anthropology, and others) would be especially welcomed.
Topics of interest might include (but are not limited to):
Intersections and tensions between different approaches to music studies (historical musicology, music theory, ethnomusicology)
and to philosophy (continental, analytic)
Sound and affect
Differing musics
Music, rhythm, and time
Conceptual composing
Performance, authenticity, and interpretation
Musical meaning and language
Music and ethics
Music and ontology
Empirical approaches to music
Collaboration and the poetics of musical decision making
Digital media and new forms of musical literacy
Philosophy and sound recording
Theories of music and mass culture in the twenty-first century
Philosophy, music, and the future of the culture wars
Music, transcendence, and spirituality
Wagnerism in twenty-first century culture
Film sound, film music, and philosophy
The philosophical implications of corpus studies, quantitative methods, and geometric modeling

Themed paper sessions of three or four individual (20 minute) papers up to 350 words per paper plus 350 words outlining the rationale for the session.
