[ANPPOM-L] CHARM Symposium CFP: 10-12 April 2008

[carlos palombini]

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, 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 em 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 em rhul.ac.uk).

A separate announcement will be made in the New Year for those who wish
to attend without presenting. If you would like to register your
interest at this time, please email Carol and we shall contact you when
booking arrangements have been finalised.
