*** CHARM Symposium, 10-12 April 2008: Call for papers ***

CHARM (the AHRC Research Centre for the History and Analysis of Recorded Music) will be holding its fifth residential symposium at Egham (near London) on 10-12 April 2008. The topic is 'Cultures of recording'. By this we mean the variety of cultural practices and environments that surround recording, including--for example--the material culture of recordings (gramophones, cover art and videos, music rooms), the recording studio as a focus of social or political action, recording and the uncanny, the recording as commodity, and the recording as an agent for the reconfiguration of place or space. We will be equally interested in both popular and 'art' traditions. Presenters will include Adam Krims, Annahid Kassabian, Jonathan Sterne, Keir Keightley, Keith Negus, Mark Katz, Thomas Porcello, and Tia DeNora.

We have space in the programe for a very limited number of additional presentations relevant to the symposium topic, and invite proposals at this time. Please email proposals of up to 400 words to Carol Chan

(carol.chan at rhul.ac.uk) by ***30 November 2007***. We will get back to you during December. There will be no parallel sessions, and presentation slots will be generous: this is why space is limited, and we apologize if the demand for slots exceeds availability. If you have questions about the academic content of the symposium, please direct them to Nicholas Cook (nicholas.cook at rhul.ac.uk).

If you wish to attend without presenting, please email Carol and we shall contact you when booking arrangements have been finalised.
