[Commlist] Screenworks Call for Practice-Research: Musicology on Screen Special Issue

Mon Nov 01 13:44:13 GMT 2021






*Screenwork Call for Practice-Research. Special Issue ‘Musicology on Screen’*

We are delighted to share with you the */Screenworks/* *Call for Practice-Researchfor ourspecial issue ‘Musicology on Screen’ <https://screenworks.org.uk/call-for-practice-musicology-on-screen-special-issue>*, edited by Dr Estrella Sendra and guest editors Dr Barley Norton and Joseph Owen Jackson.

This guest-edited Special Issue of /Screenworks/ invites practitioner-researchers to submit audiovisual works of any length exploring the theme: Musicology on Screen.  We particularly welcome work conducted in regions across the Global South and underrepresented communities. Capturing the sounds and images of music practices, festivities and rituals throughout the world contributes to the preservation of different forms of intangible heritage while, at the same time, promoting the dissemination of this localised knowledge across fixed geographical borders. Artistic engagement thus offers a spectrum of innovative, diverse and accessible visual, sonic and haptic ways of communicating and analysing music that may incorporate – yet also extend beyond – the written word through myriad nonverbal forms of communication.

By focusing on music practices on screen, we encourage practice-led scholarship on the intersection between sound and image, and the challenges and opportunities of documenting sound through both still and moving images. Statements supporting the submissions should share critical reflection about issues of access and positionality conducting fieldwork, and the process of developing academic arguments through screen media practice and new digital media.

Topics may include (but are not restricted to):

· – Music festivals and rituals

· – Filming queer music practices

· – Music and/as multilingualism

· – Learning about/through music practices

· – Theorising music through film and multimedia

· – Multimodality, music and new digital media

· – Listening through viewing

· – Decolonising methodologies and ethical considerations in fieldwork

· – Accessing, filming and archiving endangered music practices

· – Musicology, digitalisation and the pandemic

Submissions should be composed of screen media practice research supported by a 2,000-word research statement, and be submitted by completing the Online Submission Form <https://forms.gle/e6ueeMzJ6C5CCcTf6>. Please read the submissions guidelines <https://screenworks.org.uk/submissions> for further details. /Screenworks/ is committed to accessibility, so please also check our Accessibility policy <https://screenworks.org.uk/about-2/accessibility-policy>, which requires accepted work to be captioned and complemented by a descriptive transcript.
