CONF: East Asian Voices in Global Music Stories, London/Online, 7 Aug 2024

[AMS Office]

You are invited to join the hybrid conference, 'East Asian Voices in Global Music Stories: Intersectional Privileges, New Minoritizations' on Aug 7, at RHUL Bedford Square (London) and also online.

A limited number of spaces are available for in-person participation - please contact shzree.tan -at- rhul.ac.uk to reserve a slot.

The meeting brings together emerging and converging strands of activity and critical thinking around transnational East Asian presences in unevenly globalised music and sounded scenes around the world. Building on a recent spate of academic meets and performances/ workshops themed on East Asian voices, including multiple panels on the theme at annual conferences of the Society for Ethnomusicology and American Musicological Society, as well as recent work in in the UK on Transpacific East Asia, Racialised Performance in Western Classical Music and Cultural Imperialism and the “New Yellow Peril”, we seek to make meaningful community together once more in expanding and intersecting scenes within musicology, ethnomusicology, performance studies, composition, and sound studies. We locate ourselves strategically beyond the scopes of Western art music and delve into shared global sounded histories, presences, communities, practices and futures.
