[ecrea] CFP pre-constituted panel(s) for NECS 2016 Conference: Sonic Connectivity

**CFP _pre-constituted panel(s) _for NECS 2016 conference: Sonic
Connectivity***

The NECS Sound and Music in Media Work Group is organising to submit one
or more preconstituted panel proposals for consideration to the
forthcoming NECS conference (Potsdam, Germany, 28–30 July 2016), taking
a sound-focused approach to the conference's theme – �in/between:
cultures of connectivity’ (see http://necs.org). A preconstituted panel
potentially allows for a more cohesive exploration of sound in this
context, and we would encourage a broad range of responses to the theme.

Proposals are welcome for 15-20 minute papers on the subject of
sound/music and time-based media (including radio, film, television, new
media, game studies) that consider cultures or notions of connectivity.
Possible topics could include, but are not limited to:

-sound, technology and connectivity
-sonic mediation across time and space
-cultures of connectivity in sound production (e.g. networks of film
sound personnel; historical and theoretical approaches to sound
production studies)
-the �connected’ aesthetic of sound and moving image media (e.g. the
aesthetics of synch, thinking beyond the material heterogeneity of sound
and moving image)
-sound studies, media studies and interdisciplinary connections

Please send abstracts of up to 150 words, plus 3-5 key bibliographical
references, along with your name and institutional affiliation, to Dr
Nessa Johnston ((nessa.johnston /at/ edgehill.ac.uk)
<mailto:(nessa.johnston /at/ edgehill.ac.uk)>) by Friday the 15th of January
2016. We will be in touch by Monday the 17th of January with a decision
(The general submission deadline is the 31st of January 2016).

Best wishes,

Dr Nessa Johnston, Edge Hill University, UK.

PS - If you are not currently a member of the NECS Sound and Music in
Media Work Group, consider this an invitation to join!
