[Commlist] CfP (conference): Poetry, Music and Sound Art: Recent Medial Correlations

Tue Sep 05 12:08:20 GMT 2023



The third international and interdisciplinary conference of the ERC project /Poetry in the Digital Age/ on the topic /*Poetry, Music and Sound Art: Recent Medial Correlations*/ will take place on June 20-22, 2024, at the Warburg-Haus in Hamburg.

Poetry and music have been closely intertwined since ancient times. While the modern era has been largely dominated by print poetry, the “secondary orality” of audiovisual media and the “tertiary orality” of digital culture have brought about a resurgence of diverse oral and musicalized poetic forms. They span the range from recent avant-garde transformations of the traditional genres like the art song, to pop and rap lyrics, whose ever-increasing prominence demands an expanded concept of the poetic, to sound-based art forms that exist fully outside of music – such as sound installations or soundwalks – and offer fundamentally new possibilities for sonic settings of poetry. At the same time, the popularity of new oral poetry formats such as spoken word has brought renewed attention to the musicality of poetic speech and the role of vocal stylings in the performance and perception of poetry. The international and interdisciplinary conference /*Poetry, Music and Sound Art: Recent Medial Correlations*/ thus aims to explore how poetry is represented in musical and sonic forms in the digital age.

The conference is organised into two tracks, reflecting the reciprocal relationship between poetry and sound/music. Track 1 explores musicality inherent to current poetry: the ways sound and music are present in poetic texts, be it as an organising principle (through rhythm, intonation or form), or as subject matter. Conversely, Track 2 is dedicated to the various musical or sonic settings of poetry in the digital age: from contemporary art songs, to rap and experimental spoken word, to poetic sound installations.

The conference takes place in the framework of ERC-funded project /Poetry in the Digital Age/ (University of Hamburg). We welcome interdisciplinary contributions in German and English. Please submit your abstract (350 words) together with a short bio-bibliography (150 words) to Vadim Keylin ((vadim.keylin /at/ uni-hamburg.de)) and Kira Henkel ((kira.henkel /at/ uni-hamburg.de)) by September 29, 2023. The project covers accommodation in Hamburg for two nights and travel expenses (economy/second class). The papers will be published in a peer- reviewed edited volume (as a hardcover book and in open access with De Gruyter).
