*SOUND ON SCREEN I

ONLINE CONFERENCE, 17/18 JUNE 2021

CALL FOR PAPERS

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS: SUNDAY 14th MARCH 2021*

Please submit an abstract of no more than 300 words and a one-paragraph 
biography to (SoundOnScreen2021 /at/ gmail.com) 
<mailto:(SoundOnScreen2021 /at/ gmail.com)> by the deadline stated above.

The inaugural Sound on Screen conference welcomes submissions from 
scholars that explore the relationship between music and/or sound and 
the screen. We welcome submissions from scholars at any career stage, 
and from a wide range of disciplines such as (but not restricted to) 
musicology, film and television studies, cultural 
studies, communications studies and so forth. Film music studies is now 
a well-established sub-discipline both within musicology and film 
studies. Volumes such as Mera, Sadoff, and Winters (2017) help frame the 
field of music and sound ‘within the context of narrative media’ and 
help shape further the discussion of sound across a multiplicity of 
screens and a variety of modality of film consumption. It is within this 
breadth of contexts that we welcome papers from this popular area of 
research, but we particularly welcome papers that approach developing 
avenues of research such as the use of sound in film or television, or 
music for the
smaller screen such as television or on-demand mobile media. Mera, 
Sadoff, and Winters (2017: 1) claim that ‘screens are now ubiquitous in 
our lives’, and so the academic study of the accompanying music and 
sound has never been more pertinent. This conference takes its cue from 
Chion (1994) and Mera et al. (2017) in drawing together ‘different 
practices and technologies under the same umbrella without attempting to 
obfuscate the differences that exist between them’.
Topics might include:
▪ Music and Sound in the Golden Age of Hollywood
▪ Music and Sound in Narrative Television
▪ Music and Sound in European cinema
▪ Music and Sound in Documentary film
▪ Music and Sound in Traumatic film and/or television
▪ The Absence of Music and Sound in film and television
▪ Music and Sound in Animated film and television
▪ Audience Engagement with Music and Sound in Film
▪ Sound on Screen as Practice: Composers and/or Sound Design
▪ Sound effects and/or noise on screen

The programme committee consists of Dr. Jan Butler (Senior Lecturer in 
Popular Music, Oxford Brookes University), Dr. James Cateridge (Senior 
Lecturer in Film, Oxford Brookes University), and Dr. Matt Lawson 
(Senior Lecturer in Music, Oxford Brookes University), Dr. Lindsay 
Steenberg (Reader in Film, Oxford Brookes University) Prof. Daniela 
Treveri Gennari (Professor of Cinema Studies, Oxford Brookes University).
The Conference is organised with the support of the Centre of Research 
in the Arts
(CoRA)
