On behalf of organisers, program committee and students of musicology at Faculty of Arts in Ljubljana, I wish to invite you to participate in our symposium with the theme of: thinking on music in past three decades, which will be held in Ljubljana from 12th – 13th November 2009.
International Musicology Student Symposium
Thinking on Music in Past Three Decades
Thinking on Music in Past Three Decades
Official languages: Slovenian, English
Scholarly thinking on music – publicistic discourse on music
Authors' poetics – popular music and thinking on it
Thinking on music in the past three decades was, similarly like artistic creativity, determined by postmodern defocusing and pluralism. This strongly manifested in scholarly thinking on music by forming New Musicology, but it can be argued that similar phenomenon also occurred in general discourse on music and musical poetics of the time. Because the width and multidirectional areas in thinking on music cannot provide the insight which is homogenous enough, the main aim of symposium is to investigate the relations between two different basic levels of reception and production in music.
Questions of academic musicological and ethnomusicological discourse and issues of interdisciplinarity and multidisciplinarity in researching and writing on music often exclude the pragmatic thinking on music as spread by different forms of publicistic and journalistic reality, which is marked by transformation of contemporary media space. This raises questions like: which values prevail in scholarly researching of musical phenomenon, which in daily cultural-informative distribution and what are their inner relations.
Even more multidirectional is musical production of last three decades, which also requires requestioning of thinking on music, ranging on wide diapason of composers and various music authors’ poetics. This raises questions: What do the artists intend to achieve and how do they aim to do so, which principles and values lead them, what are the influences of changes of reproduction and distribution aesthetics, but most of all, what is composers’ and various popular and alternative music artists’ thinking on music like, what is their relation and what is popularity in music in the time of nivelisation of “high” and “popular” culture – all these and many more are the questions, raised by the theme of international musicology student meeting, which also warmly welcomes students and papers from other humanistic and art studies.
The symposium aims to provide an opportunity for students to improve themselves in scientific research, developing skill of identifying and interpreting relevant musical and musicological phenomena and at the same time developing new student connections and obtaining already existing ones.
If you are interested to participate in our symposium, please submit a proposal (name, study information and contact address) and an abstract explaining paper’s content and methodology (max. 300 words). Abstracts should be sent no later than September 10th 2009 on address tjasa.ribizel@gmail.com. Notification of acceptance will be sent not later than September 15th 2009. Selected papers presented at the conference will be published.
We sincerely hope that you will be able to join us and help us to carry out this symposium successfully!
