Call for Contributions:
Men Sounding Off:
Modernity, Masculinity and Western Musical Practice

In other disciplines within the arts and humanities, so-called 'men's
studies' is a well-established field. Music studies in the Anglophone
world has only recently begun to address the question of how men have
used, listened to and brandished musical forms, performed music,
performed their gender through music and how they have sort to represent
themselves and their idealised or critical figurations of masculinity
through musical practice. And yet, the history of thinking about music
(certainly since the early modern period), is shot through with explicit
engagements of masculinity as an ideal, a topos, a trope: art music was
understood to work in a number of ways, it would seem, as site,
material, idea, figure, symbol, incubator, catalyst, avatar, metonym,
synecdoche, hyperbole, channel, and vessel for any number of
masculinities (both hegemonic and counter-hegemonic). This collection is
thus timely.

We hope that this book will form one of a pair of volumes on music and
masculinity, the other, Oh Boy! Masculinities and Popular Music edited
by Freya Jarman (University of Liverpool) is already being considered by
Routledge.

Contributions are invited to a proposed collection of essays on Western
Music and Masculinity, circa 1600-1945, although contributions outside
of this timeframe will be considered. Whilst the editors welcome
contributions from all fields, we would be particularly pleased to
receive contributions on the following topics:


*	Intimacy and public/private male selves
*	The male authorial voice
*	The male body in medicine
*	Music and male emotionality
*	Music and male eroticism
*	Music and male sexualities
*	Historiography of masculinity and music
*	Music and male hegemony
*	Music and men in literature
*	Ideologies of music and masculinity
*	Music theory and masculinity
*	Music, masculinity and technology
*	Music and subversive/alternative masculinities: (e.g.
cross-dressing/gender bending, male 'disorders', male 'deviancy' etc.)
*	Music and men in the nature/culture binarism
*	Music and colonial/postcolonial masculinities (race, territory,
diaspora, nationhood etc.)
*	Music, masculinity and education


Potential contributors should send initially a 500-word abstract to the
email address given below by Friday 29th July 2005. We hope to produce a
complete manuscript by January 2006 and to publish the volume by early
2007.
