9 – 11 November 2018, Athens, Greece
World War I has been the turning point towards the birth of Contemporary Europe. It signalled the crucial end of the Empires and the shift towards new perspectives. The artistic and cultural output of the period in discussion has been rich and diverse, something that has been partially reflected on the scope of projects such as Europeana 1914-1918 and others.
In this international multidisciplinary conference, we expect to discuss several issues that have to do with artistic and cultural manifestations and their connection to music and sound in general, which occur both during but also after the end of the Great War.
Music and Visual Arts
Cinema, moving image, sound and music
Literature and musical settings
Painting, new techniques and the avant-garde idiom and their connection to music
Folk and demotic idioms and gestures reflected on music
The popular element in music
Music and Society during the Great War and after
Philosophical concepts on music and the Great War
Cultural history of Europe during the period of World War I, focusing on musical aspects
This list is only indicative and we urge potential participants to send us their proposals on the general framework set above.
Abstracts (max. 250 words long) should be submitted to valvraka -at- megaron.gr by 25 June 2018 and should include a short biography of 100 words along with your current affiliation, if any.
Official language of the conference will be English.
