CALL FOR SOUNDS
International Society of Ethnology & Folklore (SIEF)
2015 12th Congress
Zagreb, Croatia
21-25 June 2015
*Sound programme: "Utopic Dystopias : Dystopic Utopias" *
Convenors
Carlo Cubero (Tallinn University)
Marje Ermel (Tallinn University)
This session seeks sound works that, through their content and form, engage
with the dialectics of utopia and dystopia.
Through the presentation of sound works and discussion with their authors,
the session explores the nature of sound and the role of sound recordists
in the process of articulating utopia and dystopia through sonic
ethnographies.
The discussion will critique conceptualisations of sound as an object of
nature that can be apprehended and reconstructed through value-free
methodologies. The session is particularly interested in coming to terms
with the different levels that are simultaneously elicited in practises of
listening, designing, and presentation of sonic works.
The session will address sound recording and listening as skilled
practises, which are simultaneously enacted in the apprehension of sonic
experiences. The session will value the diverse methodologies, complex
circumstances, and multiple mediations that result in the production of
sound works.
The session is interested in looking at the sonic-ethnography as an
authored narrativisation of an empirical experience, in opposition to an
articulation of transcendent principles, which ascribe conceptual causes to
the unfolding of life. The session will also invite listeners to engage
with the piece and immerse themselves in the sonic moment. In this context,
the listener and designer are mutually implicated in the creation of the
sonic experience.
We accept proposals of 15 minute (max.) sound works to be followed by a 5
minute discussion.
Proposals should consist of an abstract and the sound work to be presented
(NB: it can be a sample or a work in progress). The sound work can be made
available to us through your preferred internet format or a CD can be
posted to my address below.
*DEADLINE IS MARCH 2ND 2015. *
