[ecrea] Call for abstracts (articles): Special issue of the SoundEffects journal
Thu Nov 08 22:09:24 GMT 2018
Deadline extended: Call for abstracts (articles): Special issue of the
SoundEffects journal
Theme: Participation in Auditory Culture
Editors: Iben Have, Vadim Keylin
https://www.soundeffects.dk/announcement/view/657
The rising prominence of interactive media and technologies has brought
about an increased scholarly interest in participatory phenomena. This
issue of SoundEffects aims to put a sonic spin on participation studies
and emphasize the dialogic and participatory aspects of auditory
culture. Sound remaining a primary medium of human communication carries
with it an urgency to be heard and answered, offering rich possibilities
for participatory processes, whether technologically mediated or not,
which nevertheless remain underexplored in contemporary sound studies.
Nowadays, the easy availability of open-source software for sound
editing and synthesis, as well as online sharing services, drastically
lowered the professional and financial barriers for sound production and
distribution. With this special issue, we want to explore the new ways
of participatory sound-making and exchange brought about by the
prosumer/produser culture. At the same time, we also want to look back
at the sonic practices and phenomena of the past, such as the call-in
radio shows or mixtapes, with this new participatory optics.
Therefore, we invite contributions that focus both on the participatory
perspectives on sound culture, and on the auditory perspectives on
participatory culture. We welcome papers and essays that address and
investigate, but are not limited to, the following phenomena:
* DIY music and sound design
* Piracy and bootlegging
* Participatory music and sound art
* Sound design in interactive media (e.g. computer games)
* Online platforms for auditory participation
* Community music and sonic practices
* Old media for auditory participation
* Pirate radio and amateur podcasts
* On- and offline acoustic communities
* Sound and social movements
Important deadlines:
Abstract deadline (300 words): EXTENDED to November 18, 2018

Article deadline (depending on a positive review of the abstract): March
4, 2019

SoundEffects (http://soundeffects.dk) is an open access, international,
peer-reviewed journal on sound and sound experience operating on the
Open Journal System. SoundEffects brings together a plurality of
theories, methodologies, and historical approaches applicable to sound
as both mediated and unmediated experience. The journal primarily
addresses disciplines within media and communication studies,
aesthetics, musicology, comparative literature, cultural studies,
psychology and sociology. In order to push the boundary of
interdisciplinary sound studies into new areas, we also encourage
contributions from disciplines such as health care, architecture, and
sound design. As an international journal taking a humanities-based
interdisciplinary approach to sound, SoundEffects is responding to the
increasing global interest in sound studies. SoundEffects does not take
any charge for submission, review or publishing of articles.
