SOUND ON SCREEN I
ONLINE CONFERENCE, 17/18 JUNE 2021
CALL FOR PAPERS
DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS: SUNDAY 14th MARCH 2021
Please submit an abstract of no more than 300 words and a one-paragraph
biography to [log in to unmask] by the deadline stated above.
The inaugural Sound on Screen conference welcomes submissions from scholars
that explore the relationship between music and/or sound and the screen. We
welcome submissions from scholars at any career stage, and from a wide
range of disciplines such as (but not restricted to) musicology, film and
television studies, cultural studies, communications studies and so forth.
Film music studies is now a well-established sub-discipline both within
musicology and film studies. Volumes such as Mera, Sadoff, and Winters
(2017) help framing the field of music and sound ‘within the context of
narrative media’ and help shaping further the discussion of sound across a
multiplicity of screens and a variety of modality of film consumption. It
is within this breadth of contexts that we welcome papers from this popular
area of research, but we particularly welcome papers that approach
developing avenues of research such as the use of sound in film or
television, or music for the smaller screen such as television or on-demand
mobile media. Mera, Sadoff, and Winters (2017: 1) claim that ‘screens are
now ubiquitous in our lives’, and so the academic study of the accompanying
music and sound has never been more pertinent. This conference takes its
cue from Chion (1994) and Mera et al. (2017) in drawing together ‘different
practices and technologies under the same umbrella without attempting to
obfuscate the differences that exist between them’.
Topics might include
Music and Sound in the Golden Age of Hollywood
Music and Sound in Narrative Television
Music and Sound in European cinema
Music and Sound in Documentary film
Music and Sound in Traumatic film and/or television
The Absence of Music and Sound in film and television

Audience Engagement with Music and Sound in Film
Sound on Screen as Practice: Composers and/or Sound Design
Sound effects and/or noise on screen
