[ecrea] RMA Study Day CfP: Authorship in Music

RMA Study Day: Authorship in Music



Friday 6 March 2015



Faculty of Music, University of Oxford



The question of authorship has been a central concern in poetics and 
literary theory for a long time and there is a large literature on this 
topic representing various critical perspectives. However, this 
sustained and systematic treatment of authorship has yet to be reflected 
in musicological discourse concerned with the particular conditions of 
musical practices.



Including an invited paper (‘I tell you what to do: autonomy, control 
and play in game compositions’) by Professor James Saunders (Head of 
Centre for Musical Research, Bath Spa University) and musical 
performances, this study day seeks to address and explore issues 
surrounding the notion of ‘authorship’ in relation to different kinds of 
engagement with music across cultures and genres and from a range of 
interdisciplinary perspectives including musicology, psychology, 
sociology, philosophy, ethnomusicology, and anthropology,



Proposals for individual papers (20 minutes + 10 minutes) are invited on 
the following, and other related topics.



- Authorship and the ‘work’ concept

- Historical perspectives on authorship in music

- Methods in researching and documenting authorship

- Philosophical perspectives on authorship in music

- Economic, legal and political perspectives on authorship and ownership

- Authorship and embodiment

- The concept of co-authorship in musical practices

- Authorship in recording practices

- Technology and authorship in music

- Authorship and creativity



Please submit a 200-word abstract as an email attachment to 
(authorshipinmusic /at/ gmail.com), and include the following information:



Name, institution, email address and AV requirements.
