[ecrea] CFP: Orpheus Seminar "From Authorship and Spectatorship to Usership in Music"

*Call for proposals: Orpheus Seminar 21-22 Feb. 2019*
*"From Authorship and Spectatorship to Usership in Music"*

**Deadline extended to 8 December**

Keynotes:
*Stephen Wright* (art theorist, whose work includes of 'The Lexicon of 
Usership') & panel consisting of *Jeroen Vanacker* (Artistic Director, 
Concertgebouw Bruges) and *Cecilia Wee* (Curator and Head of Artists' 
Advisory Services, ArtsAdmin, London).

Proposals (c. 200 words) for 20-minute presentations are invited from 
artists/researchers working in all areas of music practice and theory. 
Alternative modes of presentation, including performance-based 
presentation/demonstration/film, are particularly welcome. The 
organisers are particularly keen to receive proposals that address 
current musical practice in relation to ‘user culture’ across industry 
and society.

Topics might include:

  * perspectives on usership in music from other arts, other disciplines
    - fine art, live art, theatre etc.
  * historical and ethnomusicological concepts of musical use and the
    ‘user’. Is this issue entirely modern, Western?
  * consequences of usership for aesthetic or critical criteria in music
    studies
  * the intersection of usership with rhetorical approaches to older music
  * future virtuosity, future expertise in user-oriented musical 
performance
  * socio-political implications of music in a ‘usership economy’
  * creating dialogue with ‘users’ through alternative structures for
    education, societies, festivals, labels, outreach
  * ethical issues surrounding different modes of usership in music
  * musical activity after the concert/new modes of engagement
  * going beyond presentational gimmick to a state of real transformation
  * the roles of consensus and individualism in a usership culture
  * the role and relevance of Western Art Music within a usership culture
