[Commlist] Call for Papers - Chant Down: a symposium on sport, physical cultures and multicultural sounds

Call for Papers

The Sussex Centre for Cultural Studies invites submissions for Chant 
Down: a symposium on sport, physical cultures and multicultural sounds, 
to take place at the University of Sussex on 24 May 2023.

The symposium will explore the roots of sound cultures within sporting 
spaces and examine how the sounds of sport have developed into 
multicultural spaces. From cricket sound systems, street sport 
soundtracks, the sonics of yoga, musical ring-walks and virtual sporting 
sounds, to the more familiar and traditional sounds of international 
sporting stadiums, we seek contributions that explore contemporary, 
historical and multicultural sporting sound cultures in all their varied 
forms.

We invite academic and non-academic contributions on sound in 
multicultural sport across a range of forms. These contributions could 
be in the form of traditional academic papers or presentations; 
journalistic/nonfiction works; and/or creative sound work and sonic 
explorations of sport, physical cultures and multiculture. We welcome 
work at any stage of development that addresses the themes of the symposium.
Abstracts of maximum 250 words (including details of any technical 
requirements) should be submitted to the organisers (email addresses 
below) by 6pm on 17 April 2023.

Dr Nik Dickerson from Loughborough University will present a keynote at 
this event on “The sounds of Black life and Liberation: Reconstructing 
Black manhood(s) through the Black male athlete and Black music”.
More details on Nik’s work is available here:

All abstract proposals and enquiries should be submitted to the event 
co-organisers Dr John Doyle ((j.a.doyle /at/ sussex.ac.uk)) at the University 
of Sussex and Dr Daniel Burdsey at the University of Brighton 
((D.C.Burdsey /at/ brighton.ac.uk)).
Please feel free to contact the co-organisers to discuss the format of 
the event and papers, and any queries in advance.
This is a free, in-person only event. The event will not be streamed or 
recorded.
