[ANPPOM-Lista] Fwd: CFP: 11th Conference on Interdisciplinary Musicology - “Popular Music”

[Martha Ulhôa]

We are pleased to announce that the *11th Conference on
Interdisciplinary Musicology - CIM17* under the theme *“Popular Music” *will be
held at the Center for Advanced Studies in Music (MIAM), Istanbul
Technical University in *Istanbul, Turkey, on 30 November - 3 December
2017. *

CIM is affiliated with the Society for Interdisciplinary Musicology (SIM)
and the Journal of Interdisciplinary Music Studies (JIMS).
Selected presentations will be invited for publication in a special issue
of JIMS.

CIM17 is presented in collaboration with the International Association for
the Study of Popular Music (IASPM) and the European Society for Cognitive
Sciences of Music (ESCOM).

The entire conference will be in English. All conference submissions must
address the conference theme “popular music”. Relevant disciplines and
promising approaches include:

• Philosophy of popular music
• Sociology of popular music
• Popular musics of non-western cultures
• History of popular music
• Reception of popular music
• Popular music and religion
• Popular music and technology
• Performance of popular music
• Audio engineering and popular music
• Sound and music computing for popular music
• Computational studies on popular music
• Psychology of popular music
• Neuroscience of popular music
• Music theory for popular musics
• Composition: creativity and aesthetics of popular music
• Music therapy and popular music
• Popular music and literature, visual arts, plastic arts, drama,
architecture

To reduce the carbon footprint of the conference, and to make the
conference more global and accessible for expert colleagues (especially
those who cannot reasonably travel to Turkey for reasons due to lack of
funding, disability, or other commitments), the conference will be partly
virtual. Details will be provided in the second call for papers. Meanwhile
we welcome suggestions about possible semi-virtual formats.
*Submission Deadline:* 23:59 GMT 01 June 2017

Below is the call for papers in detail.
Please do not hesitate to contact, if you have any questions about the
conference.
We look forward to receiving your submissions, and to welcoming you to
Istanbul in 2017.

Best wishes,

*1st CALL FOR PAPERS*

*About the Conference on Interdisciplinary Musicology (CIM)*
CIM involves all musicological subdisciplines and paradigms, e.g.:
analytical, applied, comparative, cultural, empirical, ethnological,
historical, popular, scientific, systematic, theoretical and all musically
relevant disciplines, e.g.:

acoustics, aesthetics, anthropology, archeology, art history and theory,
biology, composition, computing, cultural studies, economics, education,
ethnology, gender studies, history, linguistics, literary studies,
mathematics, medicine, music theory and analysis, neurosciences,
perception, performance, philosophy, physiology,
prehistory, psychoacoustics, psychology, religious studies, semiotics,
sociology, statistics, therapy

CIM promotes epistemologically distant collaborations
among humanities, sciences, and practically oriented disciplines.
It celebrates diversity, treating all musically relevant disciplines, all
musicological subdisciplines and paradigms, and all music
researchers equally.
CIM focuses on quality rather than quantity, fostering intellectually
rigorous debate. Academic standards are promoted by anonymous peer review
of submitted abstracts by independent international experts in relevant
(sub-) disciplines. The review procedure is transparent, and the reviews
are impersonal and constructive.

*About CIM17*
In the 1980s, popular music studies emerged as a multi-disciplinary area of
research based on music criticism, sociology and musicology and with
strong links to cultural studies, social theory, politics, economics,
literary studies, communication and media studies, history, and philosophy.
Popular music has become an important research area within ethnomusicology
and music psychology, and it also involves interactions with electrical
engineering, computer science (music information retrieval, computational
musicology), neurosciences, audio recording, and new media.

In spite of these interdisciplinary links, there is still
little collaboration among colleagues from epistemologically distant
disciplines within popular music studies. CIM17 will be an unique
opportunity to promote interdisciplinary synergy in specific areas.

*Submissions to CIM17*
If you would like to present your interdisciplinary research on
popular music at CIM17, please submit an extended abstract in English with
the following structure. Abstracts that do not conform to all criteria will
be returned without review.
Start your submission in the usual way with a title and the authors’ names
and affiliations. After that, structure the main text with the
following six headings:

• Background in XXX (first discipline, e.g. “Background in anthropology”)
• Background in XXX (second discipline, e.g. “Background in performance”)
• Aims
• Main Contribution
• Implications for Musicological Interdisciplinarity
• References

The longest section should be Main Contribution; the shortest,
Aims. References may be in any widely accepted format.

The two background disciplines should correspond to two of the
following three areas:

*Humanities* such as aesthetics, anthropology, archeology, art history and
theory, cultural studies, ethnology, linguistics (historical, social,
semiotic etc.), literary studies, music history, ethnomusicology, cultural
studies, prehistory, theoretical sociology, philosophy,
semiotics, sociology or music theory/analysis
*Sciences* such as acoustics, biology, computing, linguistics (empirical,
computational), mathematics, perception, psychoacoustics,
empirical psychology and sociology, physiology, statistics or computer
science
*Practically oriented disciplines* including performance,
composition, education, engineering, medicine and therapy

The total length of the submission file, including title, authors, headings
and references, may not exceed 1000 words.


*Regular versus OPC submissions*Please indicate whether your submission is
Regular or Open Peer Commentary (OPC). The above criteria apply equally to
both.
*Regular Submissions* have at least two authors. The first author
represents the first background section, with qualifications and
publications in the same broad area (humanities, sciences or practically
oriented disciplines). The second author represents the second background
section (similarly).
*Open Peer Commentary (OPC) submissions* may have any number of authors -
including only one. The submission is accompanied by a list of three
colleagues who have agreed to write peer commentaries if the submission is
accepted, along with their email addresses and short CVs (or internet
addresses of CVs). The first or solo author represents the first background
section with qualifications and publications, and all three suggested
commentators represent the second background section.
