CFP: SysMus11, October 2011, Cologne (Julia Wewers )

Subject: CFP: SysMus11, October 2011, Cologne From: Julia Wewers <julia-wewers@xxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 2 Jan 2011 18:20:01 +0100 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY> --Apple-Mail-2-1505835 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=WINDOWS-1252; format=flowed; delsp=yes Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable SysMus11 Fourth International Conference of Students of Systematic Musicology Institute of Musicology, Cologne, Germany, October 5-7, 2011 Call for papers: SysMus11 invites PhD and advanced Master students of systematic =20 musicology and related fields of music research to present their =20 ongoing work and to participate in the positioning of systematic and =20 cognitive musicology in a dynamically changing scientific context. Increasingly, music and music-related phenomena come to be considered =20= as intrinsically connected to a broad range of processes underlying =20 everyday human expression and social intercourse, raising anew the =20 question of the nature of music and its relation to other human =20 activities/traits such as language. A growing interest for musical aspects of human interaction and =20 communication as well as their biological/evolutionary, linguistic, =20 neuroscientific, and developmental bases (see Str=FCngmann Forum 2011: =20= Language, Music, and the Brain: Probing a Mysterious Relationship) has =20= been observed lately. Moreover, these aspects are investigated with =20 respect to an evolving cultural context that is strongly influenced by =20= recent advances in media and information technology. Research results, =20= on the other hand, will inform areas such as artistic practice, the =20 design of interactive technology for art, education, and =20 entertainment, or more general social concerns including care, =20 rehabilitation, and therapy. Thus, music research not only constitutes fundamental research aiming =20= to understand social and cultural processes as well as related =20 technological developments, which within musicology is traditionally =20 covered by systematic and more recently bycognitive musicology, but it =20= also assumes an active role which itself calls for critical =20 reflection. To address these scientific challenges in a comprehensive =20= manner and to contribute productively and responsibly to ongoing =20 societal developments, research related to systematic and cognitive =20 musicology needs to integrate highly focused disciplinary work within =20= a perspective that transcends and even redefines traditional =20 disciplinary boundaries at the intersection of humanities, sciences, =20 and technology. SysMus11 offers the possibility to connect the different =20 methodological approaches and thematic paradigms of its participants =20 and creates in this way an internationally overall, future-oriented =20 concept of systematic and cognitive musicology. It strives to develop =20= a network between the generations of researchers contributing to the =20 wide transdisciplinary field of music research. The conference =20 atmosphere offers a complement to ongoing international summer schools =20= such as ISSSM, the summer schools organized by the SMC network and =20 ISMIR. Students=92 academic horizons will be broadened by keynote =20 presentations of internationally renowned researchers, workshops and =20 the chance to publish their own paper in the conference proceedings. =20 Discussions will deal with the current status, the legitimation and =20 the future directions and challenges of systematic musicology. Submissions are solicited for spoken research papers or posters =20 related to foundational topics of music from the perspectives of =20 humanities, sciences, and technology. All submissions will be subject =20= to a double-blind peer-review procedure conducted entirely by =20 international students of systematic musicology representing various =20 research fields. Short submission papers in English (between 1 and 2 =20 pages) have to follow formal guidelines (template can be found on the =20= conference website). Please submit your paper until April 30, 2011 (deadline). The =20 submission process is explained on the conference website and will be =20= open soon. For more information please contact Julia Wewers (julia-=20 wewers@xxxxxxxx), visit the SysMus11 homepage or the SysMus conference =20= series website. Please help to spread the word about SysMus11!
