[Commlist] CFP Sound on Screen II conference

SOUND ON SCREEN II

HYBRID CONFERENCE, OXFORD BROOKES UNIVERSITY,

5th-6th JULY 2023

CALL FOR PAPERS


DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS: FRIDAY 24th MARCH 2023 (23:59)

Please submit an abstract of no more than 300 words, an indication of 
whether you would prefer to appear in person or online, and a brief 
biography of no more than 150 words to (soundonscreen /at/ outlook.com) 
<mailto:(soundonscreen /at/ outlook.com)> by March 24th 2023.


The second Sound on Screen conference welcomes submissions for 20-minute 
papers from scholars and practitioners that explore the relationship 
between music and/or sound and the screen. We welcome submissions from 
speakers at any career stage (including postgraduate MA or PhD 
candidates) and from a wide range of disciplines such as musicology, 
film and television studies, cultural studies, communications studies 
and so forth. The first Sound on Screen conference invited participants 
to take their 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’. This resulted in a diverse range of topics and speakers, and 
allowed us to create interdisciplinary panels that brought different 
fields and viewpoints into fruitful dialogue with each other.  We intend 
the second Sound on Screen conference to continue this rich discussion 
and so in addition to inviting any relevant paper proposals, we 
particularly welcome submissions that engage with the interplay between 
sound and music on screen, and also considerations of equality, 
diversity and inclusion in relation to music and sound on screen.  This 
conference will be held in person at our Headington campus in Oxford, 
but hybrid options will be available to presenters and delegates.

Topics might include, but are not limited to:

  *

    Music and sound in narrative film and/or television

  *

    Music and sound in documentary forms

  *

    Music and sound in videogames

  *

    The absence of music and sound in film and television

  *

    The relationships between music and sound

  *

    EDI and screen industries

  *

    Gendered music on screen

  *

    Music and sound in animated film and television

  *

    Audience engagement with music and sound on screen

  *

    Sound on screen as practice: composers and/or sound design

  *

    Sound effects and/or noise on screen

  *

    Pre-existing music and sound on screen


The programme committee may, at our discretion, extend the conference to 
three days if demand deems it appropriate. If your paper is accepted, we 
will provide the opportunity to select your preferred presentation day, 
including the potential third day.

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), and Dr. Lindsay 
Steenberg (Reader in Film Studies, Oxford Brookes University).

The Conference is organised with the support of the Centre of Research
