[Commlist] CFP - Sounds of the End of the World

III International Conference on Sonorities Research (CIPS) –

Sounds of the End of the World


June 7th to 9th, 2023

Fluminense Federal University (UFF) – Niterói/RJ – Brazil


In recent decades, we have witnessed changes on a global scale that can 
be seen as threats to human existence itself – threats caused by 
ourselves, as the Anthropocene theories demonstrate. Climate change, 
pandemics, food shortages and wars are the result of the brutal 
exploitation of the planet, the struggle for control of natural and 
economic resources, as well as the denial of the ongoing crisis.

The end of the world means, of course, not only a nuclear or climatic 
hecatomb, but also the end of worldviews, models of knowledge or even 
cognitive, affective and social patterns. A new world emerges outlining 
its creative powers and its dystopias of control, automation and 
depletion of natural resources necessary for technological development.

How do sound and musical cultures take a position, articulate, face 
and/or politicize themselves in the face of late capitalism and the 
Anthropocene? What do certain sounds and music teach us in these 
situations where there seems to be no alternative but to accelerate? Or 
even: what sounds need to be heard, which are ignored and which denounce 
the urgency before the end of the world? Anyway, what does it mean to 
hear the end of the world? In this sense, the III International 
Conference on Sonorities Research (CIPS) - Sounds of the End of the 
Worldseeks to highlight the sound aspects of our relationship with the 
world and with the transformations it has been going through.

The III CIPSwelcomes proposals for scientific presentations and artistic 
performances. Some of the perspectives, but not the only ones, that 
interest this conference are:

  *

  *
