Psychoanalysis Interest Group, 40th Annual Meeting of the Society for Music Theory

2-5 novembre 2017, Arlington (EU:V)

Arlington Virginia, November 2-5, 2017. 
CFP Deadline: 30 Dec 2016

What does music theory want? 

The relation between musical hermeneutics and music theory is longstanding but not harmonious, shadowed by rivalries, disavowals, and breaks. There is no interpretation without desire, and no desire without subjects. Perhaps theory's historical and recurring breaks with interpretation are also breaks with—or repressions of—the subject. We wish to explore these relationships from the perspective of psychoanalysis.

 Most fundamentally, we want to ask: what does music theory want? Psychoanalysis was from the start a hermeneutic practice and also a science of desire,” an attempt to understand the foundations, and the limits, of any hermeneutic endeavor. We welcome proposals that will help bring psychoanalytic thought and practice to bear on our professional lives as thinkers about music—which is to say, as practitioners and skeptics of interpretation.

 We invite papers that explore the question of hermeneutic purchase across a wide range of themes including but not limited to:

Form and analysis

Musical meaning

Materiality and acoustics

Feminist and queer music theory

Hermeneutics in film

We might provide as a paradigm for the panel one of Freud's axioms: Analyze your dreams, or they will analyze you.

Please send abstracts of approximately 500 words to Clara.Latham -at- gmail.com and David.Schwarz -at- unt.edu by December 30.
