***

This international conference addresses the question of how to conceptualize the role of musical writing, representation, and visualization in the cultural practice of music. It approaches notation not just as a vessel of music-theoretical knowledge, but as an object of social interaction and cultural exchange. It encourages an interdisciplinary approach to a topic that has been at the centre of musicology’s disciplinary identity, by engaging work in media studies, material culture, art history, science and technology studies, and sensory studies. It aims to bring together (ethno)musicologists and scholars in other fields working on a variety of forms of musical notation, to reconsider the nature of notation in terms of the mediation of cultural identity, creative agency, and the musical imagination, rather than the representation of musical structure.

We invite proposals of 250-300 words for individual 20-minute papers. Proposals may consider any style, genre, or other aspect of music history, and we particularly encourage proposals on forms of notation and visualization in genres and practices that fall outside of the traditional scope of Western Art Music.

Suggested topics include:

•       Notation and Performance
•       Notation and the Body
•       Notation and Technology
•       Notation, Identity, and Exchange
•       Notation and Ontology
•       Notation and Knowledge

Please send proposals to notationcultures at gmail.com. For more information please refer to our conference website: www.notationcultures.com<http://www.notationcultures.com>
