Dear Colleagues,



Please find below a CfP that might be of interest to some of you.

Conference: The "African Operatic Voice"1 - Opera and Music Theatre in Africa and the African Diaspora

7th to 10th September 2023



Venue: University of Bern

Deadline: 1st October 2022



Opera is a global genre that defines itself through continuous reinvention and transformation in new cultural settings. This conference positions itself in the framework of the latest scholarship on opera studies which shifts its sole focus from Europe to transnational and interdisciplinary research on opera and music theatre. As international scholarship emerges to explore the transcultural medium of opera production in Africa and its diaspora, with its socio-political and aesthetic specifics, a pan-African perspective has yet to be explored (Euba 1989; Olorunyomi & Duro-Lapido 2008; André et al. 2012; Nii-Dortey 2015; Mhlambi 2016; André 2018; Roos 2018; Pistorius 2019; Matzke et al. 2020). This four-day conference aims at highlighting the diversity of opera and music theatre across a variety of African and African diasporic contexts and identifies some of the paradigm shifts that have been, and are currently, taking place.



Special invitations will be extended to papers dedicated to the following aspects:



  *   What does Opera Mean in African and African Diasporic Contexts?

  *   Colonial, Postcolonial and Decolonial Practices of Opera and Music Theatre

  *   Challenges of Libretti

  *   Genre Transformation

  *   Institutional Structures and Black Empowerment

  *   Female Creators

  *   Performing for a Local or Global Market? Performing Venues and Audiences

  *   Short and Medium Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic

  *   Opera Historiography in Africa

  *   Nation Building and the Construction of National Identities

  *   Aesthetics of Commemoration

  *   Performative Archives of Memory: History, Politics, Myths and Rituals

  *   Applied Theatre, Theatre of Social Critique and Protest

  *   Dance in Opera and Music Theatre

  *   International Collaborations

Please send abstracts (max. 300 words) for a 10-minute in-put presentation or 20-minute lecture or panel discussion within the thematic framework of the conference, as well as a short vita (max. 100 words) in English including contact details by 1st October 2022 by email to Prof. Dr. Lena van der Hoven ([log in to unmask]). Contributions from the humanities and social sciences (music, media, theatre and cultural studies, sociology, literature) are equally welcome. Young academics are strongly encouraged to apply. The selected speakers will be notified by 1st November 2022 and the conference programme will be published online  www.musik.unibe.ch/aov<http://www.musik.unibe.ch/aov>. The conference will take place preferably in person but will provide a hybrid option if needed.
