*CFP: International Conference */*Femininity and Music for the Screen: Creation, Representation and Identities*/

University of Tours, France

Organized by Jérémy Michot and Chloé Huvet

CFP and all the information available on this website: https://simea.hypotheses.org/en-version

The international conference /Femininity and Music for the Screen: Creation, Representation and Identities /aims to encourage the analysis of the musical and sound productions of female film composers, orchestrators, arrangers, editors, and mixers to shed new light on the entire sound postproduction workflow. The issues at stake are manifold: a feminist approach to music for the screen questions the mechanisms by which female sound and music creators are excluded from the canon established in the dominant musicological and musicographic discourse, and examines the conventions governing audiovisual representations of female characters on screen.

We encourage submissions on a wide range of audiovisual productions (cinema, TV series, video games, etc.) with no geographical, cultural, or historical restrictions. Interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approaches from musicology, film studies, cultural and media studies, history, sociology and aesthetics are particularly welcome.

Proposals for presentations may focus on, but are not limited to, the following areas:

§Musical and sonic codifications of female, male, trans, or non-binary characters on screen and hegemonic social imaginaries;

§Historical developments in musical and sonic representations of femininity that destabilize heteropatriarchal norms;

§Exploring the potentiality of a “female hearing” through sharing the experience of female characters on screen, and its consequences for the adoption of a situated point of audition.

§Contributions of queer theories and the subversion of gendered norms applied to visual music;

§Case studies of the work of women sound and music makers in the audiovisual field;

§Strategies for “invisibilizing” women music and sound creators in dominant musicological and musicographic discourses;

§Study of the formation of a profession (conservatories, music schools, universities, etc.) that has been predominantly male;

§Building a female film musicology heritage; valorization of resistance approaches; current changes within institutions.
