Eleventh International Conference
Music and Sonic Art:
Sounding Identities
MuSA 2020
St John’s College, University of Cambridge, UK
8 July – 10 July 2020
FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS:
We are delighted to announce the eleventh international conference on
Music and Sonic Art: Sounding Identities (MuSA 2020), an
interdisciplinary event to be held in St John’s College, University of
Cambridge.
Keynote speaker: Prof Georgina Born, University of Oxford
Conference dates: Wednesday, 8 July – Friday, 10 July 2020.
Deadline for abstract submission: Friday, 10 April 2020.
The principal aim of MuSA 2020 is to advance interdisciplinary
investigations in and between Music and Sonic Art, by exploring and
building on the historical, theoretical and practical connections and
continuities between these two areas. Proposals for individual papers
are invited from academics, independent researchers, practitioners and
post-graduate students. All proposals will be ‘blind’ peer-reviewed. The
conference language will be English.
THEME AND TOPICS:
The theme of MuSA 2020 is Sounding Identities. The last couple of
decades witnessed a remarkable burgeoning of research on how musical
experiences and practices construct social, cultural, national,
political, and artistic identities. During the same period, the
boundaries between the traditionally distinct ways of engaging with
music – i.e. as composer, performer, listener, producer, improvisor,
music scholar and researcher – have begun to be questioned and
challenged as new roles, practices and modes of interaction with music
continue to emerge. The broad aim of this conference is to expand the
remit of research on identity to all hearing, listening and art-making
practices that use sound. We, therefore, invite submissions on the
following, and other related topics:
• the artistic, cultural, social, institutional, national, disciplinary,
political embodied and sensory (aural, visual, tactile) identities and
agencies that are constructed through engagement with music and sonic
art practices;
• how technologies mediate the construction of such identities;
• the material cultures that facilitate sounding identity formation;
• the emergence of new sounding identities through the
cross-fertilization between musical and sonic art practices;
• fluidity and dynamics of identities across sounding cultural
practices;
• sounding identities that challenge the mind/body and theory/practice
dichotomies;
• sounding identities as sources of value;
• narratives and discourses of sounding identities;
