[ecrea] Call for papers: Music Sound and the Moving Image
Wed Jul 06 16:55:14 GMT 2011
*Music, Sound, and the Moving Image* was the first international
scholarly journal devoted to the study of the interaction between music
and sound with the entirety of moving image media – film, television,
music video, advertising, computer games, mixed-media installation,
digital art, live cinema, et alia.
Co-edited by Anahid Kassabian (University of Liverpool) and Ian Gardiner
(Goldsmiths College), the journal is truly interdisciplinary, inviting
contributions across a range of critical methodologies, including
musicology and music analysis, film studies, popular music studies,
cultural theory, aesthetics, semiotics, sociology, marketing, sound
studies, and music psychology.
*Call for Papers – Special Issue on Gender and Sexuality*

*Gender and sexuality*
Special Issue Editor: Catherine Haworth
Research into the function and effect of the soundtrack in audiovisual
media continues to develop and diversify, but investigation of the
theories and ideologies of difference remain underrepresented within
these debates. One such area is that of gendered and sexual difference,
where despite significant contributions by several scholars, a
systematic, focused, and extensive body of work has yet to emerge.
Submissions that consider the sonic representation, articulation, or
dissemination of gendered and sexual identities or ideologies are
therefore invited for this special issue of /Music, Sound, and the
Moving Image/, which aims to build upon the strengths of existing work
and explore new directions for future research.
Contributions may take the form of full length essays (around 7,500
words) or shorter position papers (1,000-1,500 words) that articulate a
particular analytical, critical, theoretical, or methodological
standpoint or issue. The journal is also committed to publishing English
translations of significant articles from other languages, and proposals
or recommendations for translations within the remit of this edition are
also welcome. Topics that contributors may wish to address include, but
are not limited to:
· The application or relevance of queer theory or notions of difference
to any aspect of the soundtrack
· The collapse of categories of difference together within the space of
the soundtrack
· Feminist analyses of individual texts, or feminist approaches to wider
issues or concepts within soundtrack studies
· Masculinities and their sonic articulation or problematisation within
audiovisual media
· The relationship(s) between subjectivity, gender, and sexuality in
multimedia texts and/or their audiences
· Relationships between gender, sexuality and the voice in audiovisual
media, including any aspects of spoken or sung vocality
· The engagement of the soundtrack with gendered character archetypes
and their various roles, behaviours, and potential audience appeals –
the 'hero', 'heroine', 'femme fatale', 'villain' etc. and their
incarnations across various media forms and genres
· The role(s) and effects of gender and sexuality within production,
distribution, and marketing practices in audiovisual media
· Consideration of gendered and sexual identities within audience, fan,
and reception cultures, including ethnographic or psychologically-based
approaches
· The relationship between star and fan texts, identities, and cultures
with gender, sexuality, and the soundtrack
The final deadline for submissions is *31 October 2011*. Please send any
queries to Catherine Haworth (c.m.haworth /at/ leeds.ac.uk)
