[Commlist] CFP - The Sonic Image - MLA 2021

The MLA Visual Culture forum is pleased to organize a special session on:


*The Sonic Image*


Visual and Sound Studies have evolved on separate paths in recent years, 
with sound emerging as a “course correction” for the dominance of the 
visual.What do these two emergent fields have to say to each other 
today?Is it time to go beyond what Don Ihde called “the audio-visual 
litany” to a more nuanced account of the relations of seeing and 
hearing, watching and listening?Could the concept of the “sonic image” 
provide a bridge between the scopic and vocative drives, the pictorial 
and the phono-graphic? We are seeking papers that address suchtopics 
as:Disability studies and the relations of Blindness and 
Deafness;Ekphrasis and translations between sound and sight, speech and 
vision; audio-visual technologies; resonance and representation; music 
and the visual arts.


Deadline:

Please submit a 200-word abstract and a brief biography to Thy Phu at 
(tphu /at/ uwo.ca) by March 31, 2020.

The committee will notify applicants of its decision by April 15, 2020
