[ecrea] Call for proposals: Music in Silent Film, Routledge collection

Call for proposals
Music in Silent Film
Routledge
We are putting together a proposal for a volume in Routledge’s Music and 
Screen Media series. Proposals for chapters under any of these four 
broad headings would be welcome:
1.	Historical
2.	Infrastructure & Technology
3.	People: Composers & Practitioners
4.	Case Studies
The editors would particularly welcome relevant contributions about 
women’s work in the industry.
The remit of these volumes is to bridge the gap between Film Studies and 
Film Music studies. Although very technical musical treatments are 
avoided, some chapters in the series include music examples.
Routledge describes the series as follows:
“The scope of Music and Screen Media includes music in particular genres 
of cinema, television, video games and new media. This Series welcomes 
scholars from across the disciplines of music and film studies … to 
propose edited essay collections that will be accessible to students and 
scholars in the rapidly expanding field of music and screen media.

Each book in the Series has an introduction by the editor and eight to 
twelve original essays at approximately 5000 words each. The 
introduction provides an overview of the genre of media under question 
and also traces the general chronological development, highlighting 
trends in musical styles and the composers most associated with that 
media. The books will be small (circa. 250 pages), inexpensive, so they 
can be freely assigned in the curriculum.”

Proposals should include the following: a chapter title, a brief 
abstract (150–200 words), and a concise curriculum vitae outlining 
education, previous publications, and professional experience.
Deadline for proposals: 9 October 2015
