Virtual Conference, 8-10 December 2023
Keynote Speakers:
• Arnie Cox (Oberlin College & Conservatory, OH)
• Rolf Inge Godøy (University of Oslo)
Deadline: Sunday 23 April 2023
Over the past few decades, the body has emerged as a central issue in the arts, humanities, and social sciences. As for the study of music, the idea that the body and embodiment play an essential role in musical experience has been a central concern in systematic musicology but has recently also begun to influence musical-historical research. Music, in fact, can be seen as something that is both experienced and created through the body. We perform, create, listen, feel, and even «think» the music with our body, since musical experience is, literally, an embodied experience. This is probably the most basic reason why music is such a meaningful language to us, and why its meaning is inevitably extra-musical, since meaning itself is grounded in the body, as many cognitive scientists and linguists would nowadays maintain.
There is a two-way relationship between music and body, whereby the former is created through the latter, but the latter is metaphorically implied in the former. A piece of music reflects the embodied consciousness of those who create or perform it. At the same time, music can «represent» or stand for a metaphorical body.
If we think of the body as a cultural construct, music can contribute to its construction in the same way as other artistic practices in which the body is more obviously involved, such as dance, acting, or theatrical costumes.
In keeping with this idea of a close relationship between music and body, this conference calls for contributions in a wide range of musicological areas and encourages a variety of new approaches that can help overcome rigid dichotomies such as historical vs systematic, musicological vs ethnomusicological, historical vs analytical, formalist vs contextualist, and so on.
All proposals should be submitted by email no later than Sunday 23 April 2023.
