[ecrea] CFP Sound and the Screen

Sound and the Screen
Friday 20th November 2015
A Symposium at the University of West London
Call for Papers

Exploring all aspects of the relationship between sound and the screen, 
this event will be of interest to those working in many disciplines. 
Scholars, students, practitioners and performers are equally welcome to 
participate in a one day symposium with participants drawn from fields 
including, but not limited to: Composition, Sound Design, Performance, 
Film and Television Studies, Animation, Game and Interactive Design, 
Psychology and Media Studies.
The field of sound and screen studies has witnessed in recent years an 
extraordinary growth. The emergence of specialist journals such as The 
Soundtrack and Music, Sound and the Moving Image, as well as a notable 
number of theorisations of sound itself, testify to a dynamic field of 
enquiry, encompassing an extraordinary diversity of practices, 
approaches and applications.

This event seeks to chart contemporary debates and to explore future 
avenues in individual disciplines as well as in the increasingly 
innovative interstices and overlaps between fields of enquiry.

Abstracts of 200-300 words (for 20 minute papers), plus a short 
biographical statement, should be submitted to the conference organisers 
by August 4th  2015.

Confirmed speakers include the composer John Cameron and Dr Sandra 
Pauletto, University of York.
