[ecrea] CFP: Here, There, Everywhere (& Nowhere)

    *‘Here, There, Everywhere (& Nowhere):*


    *Musical Perspectives on Migration, Networks and Borders’*


    Senate House, London


    Friday 6^th April 2018, 10am- 5pm


    Join us for a one-day collaborative research event organised by The
    University of Gloucestershire’s Music and Media Department in
    association with The Institute of Musical Researchand the School of
    Advanced Study, University of London.

In the context of rapidly-changing models of consumption and patterns of 
identification that are occurring across the music industries, this 
event focuses on notions of boundary, flow and borders, and seeks to 
establish conceptual connections in relation to musicology, musical 
networks, and musical identities.

Following the model of an ‘un/conference’, this one-day event will be 
preceded in the three months leading up to it by four working groups or 
‘demes’, each of which will develop key areas for discussion via online 
fora. These topics will then be discussed during the real-time event 
with a view to establishing concrete research proposals, projects and 
outcomes. A deme leader will co-ordinate each working group, the members 
of which will interact with each other on the morning of the event and 
share ideas across demes in the afternoon.

The main objective of the day is to operate as a development lab for 
ideas with a view to publication; a publisher has expressed initial 
interest in the project.

*DEMES*

1.Music, travel and migration

2.Music and globalisation: national and transnational styles and genres 
in the 21^st century

3.Cycles, patterns, movements: Rhythmic perspectives / Rhythmanalysis 
and Contemporary Music Ecologies

The event includes a key panel discussion with musicians, music 
journalists and academics.
