International Centennial Conference / Société française de musicologie
THINKING MUSICOLOGY TODAY:
OBJECTS, METHODS, AND PROSPECTS
PARIS, 23-25 NOVEMBER 2017
On the occasion of the centenary of its foundation in 1917, the Société française de musicologie (http://www.sfmusicologie.fr/ <http://www.sfmusicologie.fr/>) organizes an international conference with the purpose of investigating the nature and the definition of the field. The aim is to assess its literature and orientations over the last hundred years, but mostly to consider its potential of renewal by way of opening up new prospects for research. The conference intends to discuss musicology as a constellation of approaches, methods, and objects of study: acoustic, analysis, aesthetics, ethnomusicology, genre studies, postcolonial studies, cultural history, music history, iconography, sound and music computing, organology, performance studies, sociomusicology, theory, etc. Lectures will address questions of method, epistemology, and the definition of objects of study in relation to the various traditions of oral, jazz, rock, pop, art music, etc.
In line with the previous conferences held by the Société française de musicologie, we shall pay particular attention to young academics, PhD candidates, and postdoctoral researchers.
TOPICS OF INTEREST INCLUDE:
- Definition(s) and epistemology of musicology;
