Cfp: WiderScreen 2/2016

CfP 2/2016: Elokuvamusiikki ja elokuvien äänimaisema
– Film Music and Cinematic Soundscapes (in English below)

WiderScreen 2/2016:n teemana on elokuvamusiikki. Elokuvan historia tuntee monia mytologisoituja ohjaaja–säveltäjä -työpareja, kuten Alfred Hitchcock ja Bernard Herrmann, Sergio Leone ja Ennio Morricone sekä David Lynch ja Angelo Badalamenti. Onpa elokuvan ohjaaja saattanut jopa itse vastata musiikista, ajatellaan vaikka John Carpenterin hyytävää teemaa elokuvaan Halloween (1978).

Teemanumeroon ovat tervetulleita kirjoitukset, joissa käsitellään elokuvamusiikkia tai elokuvan rakennettua äänimaisemaa eri tieteenalojen ja niiden välisten hedelmällisten dialogien näkökulmasta.

Numero on kaksikielinen (englanti / suomi). Vertaisarvioitavien tutkimusartikkelien (4000–7000 sanaa) lisäksi teemanumeroon voi tarjota lyhyempiä katsauksia, haastatteluja, arvioita ja kolumneja. Noin puolen sivun mittainen abstrakti tulee lähettää sähköpostiosoitteeseen: kierka@utu.fi 15.1.2016 mennessä ja tekstin lopullinen versio 27.5.2016. Teemanumero ilmestyy alkusyksystä 2015. Lisätietoja antaa vastaava toimittaja FT Kimi Kärki (kierka@utu).

The theme issue of WiderScreen 2/2016 is film music. The history of cinema is full of mythologized director–composer work pairs, such as Alfred Hitchcock and Bernard Herrmann, Sergio Leone and Ennio Morricone, and David Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti. Sometimes the director has composed the music; remember the haunting theme music John Carpenter composed for Halloween (1978).

We invite scholarly contributions that provide insight to film music itself, or the constructed cinematic soundscapes. We encourage interdisciplinary approaches.

The theme issue is bilingual (English / Finnish). (Finnish/English). In addition to peer reviewed article manuscripts (4000-7000 words) we invite shorter book and research reviews, interviews and columns on the subject.

Please send your abstract (max. half a page) to kierka@utu.fi by 15th of January 2016. The deadline for the full manuscript is 27th of May 2016. The theme issue will be published in the autumn 2016. Contact Dr Kimi Kärki (Guest Editor) for further information (kierka@utu.fi).

Music Research, Now! Jan 29, 2016

Music Research, Now! / Musiikintutkimus, nyt! / Musikforskning, nu!

 

January 29, 2015

Department of Cultural History, University of Turku

Janus Lecture Hall (Artium Building, Sirkkala Campus Area; Kaivokatu 12)

The fifth annual Music Research, Now! symposium invites Turku-based researchers from whatever field of study, engaging with music or sound, to present their ongoing research at this event.

The main purpose of the event is to facilitate networking among music researchers from various departments and units at the University of Turku, Åbo Akademi University, Turku University of Applied Sciences, Sibelius Museum, and other educational and cultural institutes in Turku. We especially encourage scholars from such fields as, but not limited to, musicology, music education, cultural history, art and media studies, cultural studies, sociology, philosophy, gender studies, and archive work, to actively participate in the event. The symposium is an opportunity for a researcher to receive feedback from the entire pool of music/sound researchers working in the city.

Because of the growing number of educational programs and pathways in English at the universities, and of international and exchange students and researchers, this cfp is written in English, but papers are invited in Finnish and Swedish in addition to English.

The presentations will be speed talks: a 10-minute presentation and 5 minutes for discussion.

In order to register for Music Research, Now! please fill in the online registration form at:
