[Commlist] Screenworks Call for Practice-Research: Musicology on Screen Special Issue

*Screenwork Call for Practice-Research. Special Issue ‘Musicology on 
Screen’*

We are delighted to share with you the */Screenworks/* *Call for 
Practice-Researchfor ourspecial issue ‘Musicology on Screen’ 
<https://screenworks.org.uk/call-for-practice-musicology-on-screen-special-issue>*, 
edited by Dr Estrella Sendra and guest editors Dr Barley Norton and 
Joseph Owen Jackson.

This guest-edited Special Issue of /Screenworks/ invites 
practitioner-researchers to submit audiovisual works of any length 
exploring the theme: Musicology on Screen.  We particularly welcome work 
conducted in regions across the Global South and underrepresented 
communities. Capturing the sounds and images of music practices, 
festivities and rituals throughout the world contributes to the 
preservation of different forms of intangible heritage while, at the 
same time, promoting the dissemination of this localised knowledge 
across fixed geographical borders. Artistic engagement thus offers a 
spectrum of innovative, diverse and accessible visual, sonic and haptic 
ways of communicating and analysing music that may incorporate – yet 
also extend beyond – the written word through myriad nonverbal forms of 
communication.

By focusing on music practices on screen, we encourage practice-led 
scholarship on the intersection between sound and image, and the 
challenges and opportunities of documenting sound through both still and 
moving images. Statements supporting the submissions should share 
critical reflection about issues of access and positionality conducting 
fieldwork, and the process of developing academic arguments through 
screen media practice and new digital media.

Topics may include (but are not restricted to):

· – Music festivals and rituals

· – Filming queer music practices

· – Music and/as multilingualism

· – Learning about/through music practices

· – Theorising music through film and multimedia

· – Multimodality, music and new digital media

· – Listening through viewing

· – Decolonising methodologies and ethical considerations in fieldwork

· – Accessing, filming and archiving endangered music practices

· – Musicology, digitalisation and the pandemic

Submissions should be composed of screen media practice research 
supported by a 2,000-word research statement, and be submitted by 
completing the Online Submission Form
