Seminar Announcement: Music as Scientific and Therapeutic Technique
When: May 18, 9am to 1pm
Where: Paris : IRCAM, 1 place Igor-Stravinsky, 75004, Salle Stravinsky
This session examines the ways in which music can be used as an informal medium for scientific practice. The relationships between music and medicine explored by our three speakers demonstrate music’s experimental character in terms of physical and mental therapy.
Speakers:
Emmanuel Reibel (Lumière-Lyon II University): “The scalpel, from dissection to music criticism”
Céline Frigau-Manning (Paris 8 University): “Silences of the body, ecstasies of the soul. Hypnosis, music and pain in the 19th century”

This seminar is the fourth of five taking place at IRCAM this spring in a series entitled “Music, Science & Technology Encounters: Following Objects, Exploring Sources,” which intervenes in recent research at the intersections of music, science and sound studies by examining transnational aspects of the history of musical, scientific, and technological encounters in the modern era. This series importantly develops multiple viewpoints on sound objects by gathering scholars from various disciplines (i.e. musicology, history, acoustics, computer science, physics, comparative literature, social studies of science), as well as professionals in related fields (i.e. sound engineers, composers, performers, museum curators).
