*CFP: Resounding cities. Music, sound, noise in urban environments
(1500-1800)*València, 23-25 October 2023

The evocative prologue of the seminal essay by Reinhard Strohm (1985)
suggested an ideal horizon for musical historiography, which was by then
increasingly uncomfortable with the paradigm centred on the author/work
binomial and the patronage of social elites.

It is at that point that urban musicology began to take shape: the urban
framework is focused as a symbolical space where communities and civic
authorities continuously negotiated their reciprocal relations. Most
musical (sonic) events of the past contributed to these communicative
processes, which were articulated in the dense network of rituals and
ceremonies that structured the experience of individuals and groups.

Central to this approach are the events to which the surviving repertories
bear witness in their musical (sound) aspects, with diverse implications:

   - Communicative processes imply networks of relationships in which all
   participants are to be considered, regardless of their power and prestige.
   - The decoding of messages is as significant as their encoding, as are
   the contextual elements that channel and condition communicative processes.
   - Urban spaces are of interest for their symbolic value, and not only
   for their physical dimension.
   - This leads in the direction of possible reconstructions of
   soundscapes, or the recognition of all the sources that define the sound
   experience in given circumstances.
   - Studying sound perception and listening, not necessarily musical, is
   also highly relevant: hearing subjects are part of the reconstruction.
   - It is also possible to investigate the intellectual or affective
   response of the participants in the communicative processes.

Disciplinary fields other than musicology have assumed sound experience
among their research objects, in a sociological (sound studies) or a
historical perspective (sound history), with relatively little attention to
musical production. However, the shared objects of study and conceptual
tools invite interdisciplinary dialogue.

This dialogue should enrich the methodological framework of urban
musicology: its important achievements point to challenges that are
proposed as central to this congress:

   - Studies on a single urban centre have allowed very sophisticated
   reconstructions: but in what terms can different centres be compared?
   - And, in diachronic terms: how can an urban musicological study be
   proposed in the medium or long term?
   - Thirdly: how can we return from the reconstruction of communicative
   processes to surviving musical repertories? To what extent can urban
   musical historiography provide a foundation for an exegesis of repertories?


*Call for papers*Within these parameters, proposals are invited –in any of
the categories indicated below–, related to the following topics:

Contribution to the music of ecclesiastical institutions – cathedrals,

*Rituals and soundscapes*Reconstruction of rituals or social events
examined from the perspective of their sonic construction.

*Repertories*Relationship between surviving repertories, institutional
dynamics, rituals and soundscapes.

*Acoustemology of everyday life*Investigation of the sonic dimension of
everyday life – which may include, within this perspective, the two
preceding points.

*Comparative historical reconstruction*Comparison between any of the
preceding themes in different cities, or in different periods in the same
city.

*Languages*
The conference languages are Spanish, Catalan, English and Italian.
