Hearing Landscape Critically :
Sense, Text, Ideology
Nowhere is the only unattainable elsewhere; people are always already
somewhere. This conference – the first of three inter-continental
meetings between 2012 and 2014 – is concerned with any and all
‘somewheres' that might be thought of as landscapes.
Whether telescoped from afar or lived up close, landscapes are tense and
contested sites of being, doing and remembering, of disaster and
delight. In them we hear sounds, enact performances, partake in noise,
rush and solitude. Yet these embodied and affective encounters are
always already mediated in complex and conflicting ways; institutional,
inter-personal, and ideological dynamics render landscapes amenable to
the agencies of power, knowledge and desire.
From vast expanses to private quarters, landscapes articulate multiple
and overlapping scales: global, local, temporal, virtual, universal.
Landscapes, moreover, are rarely static or stable; at the frontier and
the fringe, in the warren and the den we find marginal, interstitial and
oppositional spaces.
Like a landscape, this call for papers cannot help but mark out its
terrain: while acknowledging the contribution of existing work on
landscape, too many studies have been concerned with purely scopic
analyses, leaving multi-sensory experience and the historical
materiality of landscape under-theorised. This conference thus seeks to
expand, even explode our critical frames of reference, and develop
alternative strategies for engaging critically and creatively with the
poetics and politics of landscape.
Papers related to this agenda – including but not limited to the topics listed below – are welcome.
Sites of power, Questions of structure, Performing landscapes, Mobilities, Political concerns, Philosophical concerns.
Keynote speakers :
Prof. Julian Johnson (RHUL), “Aural Fantasies: Music, Modernity and the Imaginary Landscape”;
Prof. David Matless (Nottingham) will speak on landscape and sonic geography.

Appel à contribution
Le Centro Studi Opera Omnia Luigi Boccherini de Lucca / Pistoia https://www.luigiboccherini.org et l'Association « Amici di Groppoli » de Pistoia, en collaboration avec l'Université de Granada (I+D+I HAR2010-17968. Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovacion de España), vous invite à envoyer des propositions de communication pour le colloque international Music and Propaganda in the Short Twentieth Century, qui se tiendra à Pistoia, au Palazzo dei Vescovi, du vendredì 18 au dimanche 20 May 2012.
Ce colloque souhaite mettre en lumière les différents volets du rapport qui s'instaure entre la musique et la propagande de régime en Europe tout au long du xxe siècle, avec une attention particulière pour l'Allemagne, l'Espagne, le Portugal et l'Italie. L'objectif de ce colloque est d'analyser les possibles croisements entre la musique et la sphère politique dans un contexte tant institutionnel que moins conventionnel.
Pourquoi la thématique musique et propagande ? La musique a été souvent exploitée par les régimes et les gouvernements, à cause de sa fonction évocative et de sa capacité à exprimer plusieurs niveaux de la pensée, souvent soumise à de multiples interprétations. La question centrale de ce colloque est comment la musique puisse véhiculer des idées de propagande. Beaucoup a déjà été écrit autour des relations entre la production musicale et la propagande dans la période de l'entre-deux-guerres. Pour cette raison est maintenant nécessaire de pousser cette exploration à l'époque qui a suivi la Deuxième Guerre mondiale. Ouvert à toutes propositions de sujets innovants, le comité scientifique encourage plus particulièrement les études portant sur les aspects suivants :
- Musique et propagande au xxe siècle : aspects historiques, esthétiques, philosophiques, sociologiques
- Implications politiques et économiques dans la musique de propagande
- Musique et propagande après la Deuxième Guerre mondiale
- Propagande et institutions musicales
- La propagande dans la musique de film et dans les autres médias
- La musique, la propagande et les autres arts
- Popular music et jazz : nationalisme, idéologie, identité et divertissement
- Musicologie et propagande
Comité Scientifique :
Federico Celestini (Universität Innsbruck), Roberto Illiano (Centro Studi Opera Omnia Luigi Boccherini, Lucca), Massimiliano Locanto (Università degli Studi di Salerno), Fulvia Morabito (Centro Studi Opera Omnia Luigi Boccherini, Lucca), Gemma Pérez Zalduondo (Universidad de Granada), Massimiliano Sala (Centro Studi Opera Omnia Luigi Boccherini, Pistoia)
Keynot Speakers :
María Isabel Cabrera García and Gemma Pérez Zalduondo (Universidad de Granada) ; Luca Sala (Université de Poitiers).
Langues officielles du colloque : italien et anglais.
Une sélection des travaux présentés constituera le volume des actes du colloque dans la série Speculum Musicae series (Brepols Publishers).
Chaque intervention ne devra pas dépasser 20 minutes et sera suivie de 10 minutes de discussion.
Les propositions de communication (500 mots) seront accompagnées d'une biographie de l'auteur (1 page) et seront soumises par courriel en pièce jointe à l'adresse suivant : operaomnia@luigiboccherini.org La date limite des propositions est fixée au mardi 31 janvier 2012. Chaque proposition comprendra le nom de l'auteur, ses coordonnées complètes (adresse postale, e-mail, téléphone) et l'institution de rattachement (si possible).
Le comité scientifique s'engage à répondre à partir du 15 février 2012. Le programme complet ainsi que les renseignements pour l'enregistrement au colloque, pour le voyage et pour la réservation des hôtels seront communiqués à partir du 1er mars 2012.

Call for papers
The Centro Studi Opera Omnia Luigi Boccherini of
Lucca/Pistoia (https://www.luigiboccherini.org) and the
Association “Amici di Groppoli” of Pistoia, in association
with the University of Granada (I+D+I HAR2010-17968.
Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovacion de España),
is pleased to invite submissions of proposals for the
symposium "Music and Propaganda in the Short Twentieth
Century", to be held in Pistoia, Palazzo dei Vescovi,
from Friday 18 until Sunday 20 May 2012. This project
aims to study the relationships between music and propaganda
in twentieth-century Europe, devoting particular attention
to Germany, the Iberian Peninsula and Italy. The conference
will examine the points of intersection between music
and the political sphere within both institutional and
non-institutional contexts.
Why music and propaganda? Music has often been exploited
by regimes and governments, thanks to its great evocative
power, and it can be used to attribute and to ascribe
multivalent meanings. Does music contain the traces
of propaganda? That is the central question to be posed
by this conference. Much has been written about the
relationship between music and propaganda between the
two world wars. What is now needed are explorations
of this topic during the post-war period.
- The programme committee encourages submissions
within the following areas, although other topics
are also welcome:
- Twentieth-Century Music and Propaganda: Historical,
Aesthetic, Philosophical and Sociological Aspects
- Political-Economical Implications behind Musical
Propaganda
- Music and Propaganda after the World War II
- Propaganda and Musical Institutions
- Propaganda in music for screen and other media
- Music, Propaganda and Other Arts
- Popular music and Jazz: Nationalism, Ideology,
Identity and Entertainment
- Musicology and Propaganda
The official languages of the conference will be
English and Italian. Papers selected for presentation
at the conference will be published in a miscellaneous
volume for the Speculum Musicae series (Brepols Publishers).
Papers are limited to twenty minutes in length, allowing
time for questions and discussion. Please submit an
abstract of no more than 500 words and one page of biography.
All proposals should be emailed to operaomnia at luigiboccherini.org
by no later than ***Tuesday 31 January 2012***. Please
include with your proposal your name, contact details
(postal address, e-mail and telephone number) and (if
applicable) your affiliation.
The committee will make its final decisions on the
abstracts by the 15th of February 2012, and contributors
will be informed immediately thereafter. Further information
about the programme, registration, travel and accommodation
will be announced by the 1st of March 2012.
