****Forwarded message from Platt, Heather <[log in to unmask]>**** Special Issue CFP: The Digital Humanities and the Study of Nineteenth-Century Music Email proposals in pdf format to the Digital Reviews Editor, Heather Platt, [log in to unmask] Deadline: 1 January 2018 Digital technology and media are beginning to revolutionize approaches to the study and research of nineteenth-century music. Whether this means examining high-resolution manuscripts from online archives, locating sources through new databases, carrying out “big data” studies of musical life, or utilizing specialized applications to analyze musical works and performances, digital tools are opening new paths. Now is an opportune moment to consider how and where the study of nineteenth-century music is engaging with emerging trends in digital humanities and, especially, where this should lead. Nineteenth Century Music Review invites proposals for articles in a special issue devoted to the digital humanities. Topics might include the process of creating a new digital resource, analytical studies using digital tools (such as corpus studies), interdisciplinary studies, and position papers reflecting on the advantages (and perhaps the pitfalls) of digital humanities for the study of nineteenth-century music. Any aspect of music during the long nineteenth century may be considered, including performance issues. The journal editors are particularly interested in submissions that create new paradigms and/or reach conclusions that would not have been possible without digital technology. Prospective contributors should submit: A 1000-word proposal (excluding citations) that clearly indicates the subject and scope of the study, its relation to the digital humanities and the results. Supporting material, including but not limited to charts, screen shorts of digital resources, and music examples, may also be included. Documentation in the form of footnotes/endnotes and a bibliography are strongly encouraged. In addition, please include a 300-word biography of each contributor. Scholars wishing to review digital resources in other volumes of the journal should also contact the Digital Reviews Editor. ****End of forwarded message**** -- This email address is checked Monday to Friday, 09:00 to 17:00 Professor J.
