Interdisciplinary Studies in Music.
New Approaches, Methods and Conceptions
Deadline – March 1st, 2013

In the contemporary world, interdisciplinary studies have become a major resource for knowledge transformation and development, facilitating the expansion of individual methodologies to other areas of expertise. 
By initiating a Competition in the field of musicology, the Center for New Technologies in the Arts “Art-parkING” aims to draw people’s attention to common cultural paradigms and to trace new ways and innovative ideas in this field.
The Competition is organized for two levels of participants:
1. Those who have a bachelor and masters degree (and equivalents)
2. Doctoral studies (and equivalents), postdoctoral level and all under the age of 35.

Procedure of the Competition

There will be two rounds.
First round – a competitive selection by an international jury of the best musicological works. Only works that are submitted before a deadline and that suit all requirements will be accepted for the Competitions.
Second round – a final stage. This will be held in the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre in Vilnius in September, 4-7, 2013 during an International musicological conference in collaboration with the Lithuanian regional branch of International Musicological Society. The Competition will take the form of public debates on a given topic. Competitors will receive themes and a set time for preparation. Debates will be between two or three people and take place in several stages.
During the debates the jury will evaluate speakers’ oratorical skills, ability to introduce and defend a point of view, manner of carrying on a dialogue, and their command of logic. 

Subject Area of Works for the First Round

The main topic of works sent for peer-review must be interdisciplinary studies in Music.
The Humanities present a multifaceted disciplinary field coherent with sciences, philology, political economy and other research areas. Their interaction should offer new ways of expanding traditional disciplinary boundaries and methods of interpretation.
A participant can use different types of interdisciplinary studies (methodologies from two or more disciplines, modeling of research concept, reflection on the object and methodology of your own research, system of coordination and interaction).
Nowadays an improvement of approaches and models of research takes mainly in isolation from scientific and technical progress. One of the purposes of this Competition is to renovate humanities knowledge and to expand their methodological fields, bringing new objects of research into service and improving devices and models of research.
The organizing committee of the Competition invites innovative methods of research that transcend traditional boundaries
