THEME AND TOPICS:
The theme of MuSA 2019 is Collaborative Creativity / Creative
Collaboration. The twenty-first century has witnessed some profound
transformations in the institutional ethos of arts and humanities
research, one of these being the sharp decline of the romantic image of
the lone researcher and artist, breaking through the frontiers of
knowledge or creating works of genius independently, and the
simultaneous rise of a culture of collaboration. While much has already
been written about the value of collaborative artistic and scholarly
work, particularly in relation to the creative synergies it generates,
much remains to be explored with regard to the notion of collaborative
creativity or creative collaboration. MuSA2019 aims to explore the
psychological, social, institutional-political, artistic and
philosophical issues surrounding this notion. We invite submissions on
the following, and other relevant topics, in relation to collaborative
creativity and creative collaboration in Music and Sonic Art:
– Creative collaboration and authorship
– Creative collaboration in historical context
– Psychological mechanisms of collaborative creativity
– Creative collaboration and copyright
– Collaborative creativity and technology
– Pedagogies of creative collaboration
– Expertise and creative collaboration
– Creative collaboration and material cultures
– Social contexts of collaboration
– Artistic identities and creative collaboration
– Embodied, embedded, enacted and extended approaches to creative collaboration
.
Other topics that are in line with the conference’s broad aim of
promoting interdisciplinary research within and across Music and Sonic
Art will also be considered.
As in previous MuSA conferences MuSA 2019 will continue to include the
popular, one-day event devoted to ‘Re-thinking the Musical Instrument’,
focusing on the origination, making and playing of musical instruments.
Some of the topics that will be explored during this one-day event
include:
• The acoustical, musical, cultural, symbolic, and ritualistic qualities
of musical instruments and the relationships between these
(theoretically) distinct kinds of qualities;
• The discourses that exist in relation to musical instruments in
different genres, styles and traditions;
• The gestural affordances and ergonomic principles of musical
instruments and the musical meanings that emerge as a result of these
affordances and principles;
• Performers, improvisers and their instruments: phenomenologies of
music making in the context of particular kinds of musical instruments;
• Composer and instruments: the material, acoustical and expressive
qualities of instruments and their relationship to musical languages
composers create;
• Relationships between creativity in performance, nature of musical
interpretation and musical instruments;
• The role of the musical instrument in the creation of musical identities;
–
We also invite proposals on any research area related to the nature and
use of western acoustical instruments, traditional ethnic instruments
and digital/virtual instruments.
