New Materialisms in Music and Sound (UT-Austin Grad. Student Conference): April 17-18, 2021
Keynote Speaker: Ana María Ochoa Gautier
Artist in Residence: Tanya Kalmanovitch
Guest Performer: João Renato Orecchia Zúñiga
Deadline for presentation submissions: extended to March 15, 2021
Inspired by “new materialist” interventions, we invite you to critically bring music and sound back to the realm of things. We especially welcome presentations with a clear emphasis on expanding and putting pressure on the Western-centric topics and epistemologies that model much academic thought. Potential lines of inquiry include, but are not limited to:
Physical ways of apprehending music and sound; Considerations on Marxist historical materialism; Music and sound as a material tool for regulating human and non-human bodies; Music, sound and space; Music and material livelihoods.
