[Commlist] CfP: Dissonant Loves - The Conviviality of Contemporary Sound Diasporas

Dissonant Loves: The Conviviality of Contemporary Sound Diasporas
We are seeking contributors to an upcoming edited volume to be published 
by Routledge. The contents of the book are to be framed around the 
living transmission of diaspora through sound in (speech, everyday life, 
media, computation, music, history) over diverse spaces and times 
drawing upon cases from around the globe. The intention of the book is 
not simply to map these formations but to evaluate the resources they 
provide as convivial formations – in the context of reconfigured global 
capitalism, augmented nationalism and racism, and sound’s uneven capture 
in computation. The volume aspires to incorporate a wide range of 
voices, their hopes, fears and living realities. The book will be 
culturally focussed whilst not disregarding the materialities of sound. 
We welcome interest from anthropologists, sociologists, geographers, 
historians, ethnomusicologists, cultural theorists and others with an 
interest in the multiplicity of ways in which diasporic sound cultures 
are transmitted and lived. In doing so the volume will move away from a 
sonic eurocentricism that until recently has dominated sonic 
epistemologies and contribute to a critical re-appraisal of the role of 
sound in contemporary global modernity.
We are interested in both full-length chapters (up to 8,000 words in 
length) as well as shorter, more impressionistic pieces (up to 1,000 
words in length) which will be interspersed throughout the volume. We 
also expect to provide a website with sonic examples/podcasts to 
accompany the book.
Expressions of interest, about a paragraph long, can be emailed to the 
two editors of the book (M.Bull /at/ sussex.ac.uk)  and 
(Malcolm.James /at/ sussex.ac.uk)  preferably  by  the end  of  March  2021.
