Re-Visions: Call for papers
The theme of the conference is re-Visions. In music research we develop new visions, and re-visions, about and around the music we study. As professional scholars we also create new visions for our discipline. As musicians engaged in composition or performance, we create or re-create 'visions' in sound. The theme re-Vision is designed to provide a framework within which we can share our current work in music research.
Proposals are invited within the following broad topics, or in any of the many areas of music research:
- re-Visions in understanding the practice of music-making
- Composition, performance, arrangement; composers, performers, arrangers
- Formal and informal music-making
- Music reception studies
- re-Visions in understanding the context of music-making
- Practical contexts
- Deeper/wider cultural contexts
- re-Visions in understanding the role and purpose of music research
- New musicologies
- Music research and performance
- Music research and education
