Music / Musics. Structures and Processes

In 2012, the International Congress of the Gesellschaft für Musikforschung will take place in Göttingen, in the 275th anniversary year of the founding of the university there. The Congress will run from 4-8 September under the general title

Music / Musics. Structures and Processes

Since around the mid-twentieth century, it has become increasingly common to use the word “musics”, rather than “music”, in order to do justice to the plurality of different phenomena to be captured under that term. This Congress will provide a forum for the discussion of research into musical structures, the structures that are necessary for music to happen at all, and the impact of the one on the other. It will promote the analysis of musical processes as well as the larger-scale historical, cultural and social processes in which musical structures in turn transform and adapt, just as the environment in which these occur is also in a state of constant transformation.

Researchers are herewith invited to participate in this stimulating discussing by submitting proposals for individual papers and posters.

Deadline for applications : 31.12.2011.

Applicants for free papers/posters will be informed of the decision by 31.03.2012.

Languages of the Congress : German, English

Applications may be submitted by e-mail (PDF format only please; the file name should include the surname of the applicant and the type of application) to gfm2012 at uni-goettingen.de or by post to Department of Musicology Programme Committee GfM 2012, University of Göttingen, Kurze Geismarstraße 1, D-37073 Göttingen.
