>
> Sound Escape: a conference on acoustic ecology
>
> June 28 to July 2 at Trent University, Peterborough, Ontario, Canada
>
> CALL FOR PAPERS
>
> Sound Escape
> A Conference on Acoustic Ecology
>
> Sponsored by the Frost Centre for Canadian Heritage and Development
> Studies at Trent University
> and the Canadian Association for Sound Ecology
>
> The Frost Centre and CASE invite proposals for papers, joint sessions,
>
> and sonic art works for the interdisciplinary conference Sound Escape,
>
> to be held at Trent University, Peterborough, Ontario, Canada from
> June
> 28 through July 2, 2000.
>
> Building on resolutions developed at the 1998 Hörr upp! conference in
> Stockholm, the main goal of Sound Escape is to promote and develop
> broad-based, interdisciplinary approaches to research in the field of
> acoustic ecology. We welcome proposals from those involved in the
> sciences, communications, education, activism, arts and industry.
> Submissions from graduate students in relevant fields will also be
> considered. We anticipate publishing some of the proceedings of Sound
>
> Escape as Volume Four of the Yearbook in Soundscape Studies.
>
> Themes:
> We especially invite proposals related to the theme of sonic geography
>
> remembered and imagined. At this millenial transition point, let us
> consider the culture of sonic geography in all its political,
> ideological, ecological, nostalgic and economic dimensions. How may
> we
> define and measure sonic space? What lessons are to be learned from
> the
> study of historical soundscapes? What are the effects of
> globalisation
> on the soundscape? In what ways does the changing soundscape affect
> regional cultures? How are we to measure everyday sonic culture
> qualitatively? What is the value of private/public sonic space? What
> is
> the relation between sonic space and ecological activism? How may we
>
> best design our future soundscapes, and by whose authority? How much
> is
> silence worth?
>
> Submissions:
> All submissions must include an abstract (details below), a short
> biography and a one-page resume for each committed participant, giving
>
> contact information for all of 1999/2000.
> Papers should be no more than 20 minutes in length. Submit an
> abstract
> of no more than 500 words stating the title and topic, and describing
> the methods and results of the research. Papers may be given in
> English
> or French.
>
> Proposals for joint sessions must describe the topic and state the
> purpose of the session in fewer than 1000 words. It is expected that
> joint sessions will be interdisciplinary including participants from
> at
> least three different fields. All participants must register for the
> conference.
>
> Submissions of sonic artworks will be considered for performance at
> an
> evening concert and/or in special programming on Trent Radio. We
> invite
> submissions from experienced and emerging sound artists, reflecting on
>
> the themes of Sound Escape. Radio submissions may include sound art
> and/or spoken word programs usually of no more than 60 minutes
> duration. Programs may be in English, French or any First Nations
> language. Live Radio performances and overnight installations (Radio
> Noir) will also be considered. Concert submissions must be no longer
> than 20 minutes in length. Submissions should include a tape-cassette
>
> or CD of the work along with a short artist's statement. For works
> in
> progress, include a 15-30 minute CD or audio cassette containing
> samples
> of previous work along with a 500-word text description of the
> proposed
> work.
>
