Call for papers
This interdisciplinary conference will examine conflict and post-conflict contexts through sound in performative practice. Themes include: peacebuilding efforts by music-based community arts initiatives; sonic-arts and theatrical re-soundings of conflict; creative and musical interventions in conflict and post-conflict societies; sound-based methodologies for exploring the narratives and everyday experiences of people in post-conflict contexts. We also welcome papers that explore the nature of creative processes and practices in conflict and post-conflict settings through theatre, movement, visual and plastic arts, and film as they relate to sound.
We invite papers that discuss a range of issues around:
- Sounding out the lived experience of people in conflict and post-conflict contexts;
- Intersensorial analyses of creative practices for understanding conflict;
- Processes of sound in the historical auditory imagination/remembering of conflict;
- Practices of listening towards peacebuilding;
- The poetics, performativity and politics of sound and movement in conflict/post-conflict contexts;
- The role of sound technologies in shaping creative interventions;
- The relationship between sound and (contested) place-making;
- Innovative methodologies that utilise sound (or other creative practice).
