The Velvet Light Trap
Call for Papers
Issue #74: On Sound (New Directions in Sound Studies)

Submission deadline: August 1, 2013
The medium of sound, long placed in a secondary position to the visual
within media studies, has experienced a considerable increase in scholarly
attention over the past three decades, to the point that “sound studies” is
now a distinct field of scholarship. Within media studies, sound-related
research today expands well beyond the film and television score or
soundtrack to include a broad range of scholarship on radio and popular
music.  And while sound studies still tends to cohere around media studies
departments, an increasing amount of sound media research is
interdisciplinary in nature. A “sonic turn” is under way across the
humanities and social sciences with sound studies work coming out of
philosophy, sociology, anthropology, history, science and technology
studies, cultural geography, American studies, art history, and cultural
studies.  Recent issues of differences (2011) and American Quarterly (2011)
and anthologies like The Sound Studies Reader (Jonathan Sterne, 2012) are
just a few examples of this expanding range of interest.

This issue of The Velvet Light Trap aims to build upon many of the new
lines of inquiry that are coming out of this intersection between sound
media and various other scholarly perspectives. In that spirit, we are
seeking essays for an issue on the research and study of sound in and
across a range of media.

Potential areas of inquiry may include, but are by no means limited to:

• analysis of music, voice, and sound effects in film, radio, television,
video games, podcasting, and other digital or “new media,” including
significant developments in audio aesthetics and style
• convergence of sound and visual media
• sound art and experimental forms of sound media
• materiality of sound, including sound reproduction and other technologies
of sound
• media industries, production cultures, and issues related to sound labor,
audio production practices, or the commodification of sound
• histories of audio media and archaeologies of mediated sound
• aural representations of identity, power, difference and the politics of
sound media
• mediation of voices and language, noise and silence, and muteness,
deafness, and other issues of the body and disability
• listening practices and sound media in perception and everyday life
• psychoacoustics and cognitive studies of sound media
• architecture, acoustics, and space, including “soundscapes” and sound
media in relation to public health and public policy
• theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of sound media
Submissions should be between 6,000–7,500 words (approximately 20-25 pages
double-spaced), formatted in Chicago style. Please submit an electronic
copy of the paper, along with a one-page abstract, both saved as a
Microsoft Word file. Remove any identifying information so that the
submission is suitable for anonymous review. The journal’s Editorial Board
will referee all submissions. Send electronic manuscripts and/or any
questions to thevelvetlighttrap em gmail.com. All submissions are due August
1, 2013.
