With apologies for cross-posting... **CFP pre-constituted panel for NECS 2013 conference: The politics of sound, music and moving image** I am organising for the NECS Sound and Music in Media Work Group to submit one (or more) pre-constituted panel proposals to to the forthcoming NECS conference (Prague, 20-22 June 2013), taking a sound-focussed approach to the conference's Media Politics - Political Media theme. A pre-constituted panel potentially allows for a more cohesive exploration of sound in this context, and we would encourage a broad range of responses to the theme. Proposals are welcome for 15-20 minute papers on the subject of politics, sound/music and moving image. Possible topics could include, but are not limited to: - Political associations of music, sounds or sonic motifs - The soundtrack and political engagement - The political economy of the soundtrack - ‘Produser’ sound and moving image approaches - The soundtrack in party political broadcasts - Sound and grassroots media - Soundtrack and nation - Soundtrack and revolution - Sound and apparatus theory - Ideology and film sound theory Please send abstracts of up to 150 words, plus 3-5 key bibliographical references, your name and institutional affiliation, to Nessa Johnston ([log in to unmask]) by Monday the 14th of January. We will be in touch on Thursday the 17th of January with a decision (The general submission deadline is the 31st of January). Best wishes, Nessa Johnston, University of Glasgow PS - If you are not currently a member of the NECS Sound and Music in Media Work Group, consider this an invitation to join! -------------------------------------------------------- MeCCSA mailing list -------------------------------------------------------- To manage your subscription or unsubscribe from the MECCSA list, please visit: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?SUBED1=MECCSA&A=1 ------------------------------------------------------- MeCCSA is the subject association for the field of media, communication and cultural studies in UK Higher Education.
