The presentations will be organized according to the following themes:

a) Archeology of sound media

b) Sound, affect and significance

c) Sound technologies and sociocultural practices

d) Sound and culture

e) sound art

Description of the axes:
 

Archeology of sound media: Perspective that takes a more careful look at “sound objects” and their materiality. This axis proposes the study of sound devices in their machinic specificity and in the creation of a logic inherent to the context in which they are used, problematizing sociocultural approaches that tend to abstract or refuse aspects of the objects' physicality. Works dealing with different technological configurations, different sound apparatuses and their particular existence in a given mediatic ecology will be accepted.
 

Sound, affect and significance: Concentrates works that investigate sounds both as a text and as a force, seeking possibilities of convergence between their somatic and cognitive dynamics. Thus, it is interesting to understand the interfaces between what a sound can do and what it can mean, with emphasis on its aesthetic dimension. Works that promote analyzes of musical and sound works are accepted, both from a hermeneutic perspective, and those that seek to understand the effects of sonic vibrations on the bodies of their producers and listeners.
Sound technologies and sociocultural practices: Technologies can be understood as a set of solutions developed and implemented in objects to perform certain tasks. This definition can be expanded to incorporate the protocols and pragmatics cultivated in certain human activities that, even not depending on specific machines, propose an organization of actions and an internal logic to those processes. Technologies are not detached from sociocultural phenomena, but sometimes propose an autonomous and uncritical discourse about their own functioning. This axis intends to discuss different aspects of these relationships.

sound and culture: Investigates sounds as mediators of social and cultural processes. It addresses sounds as processes and dynamics of circulation and symbolic consumption, as well as a means from which socialization, transformation, maintenance, cohesion and organization of social groups and their respective cultural paradigms take place. It contains articles on sociocultural phenomena from a perspective that focuses on sonorities as a central tool for these practices. 
 

sound art: This axis concentrates works on the emerging field of sound art, whether in its aspects of production or fruition of works. Theoretical works or works that critically analyze the actions and experiences related to the creation and audience of installations and sound performances, experimental pieces made from the use of sound recordings, radio art, electroacoustic music, as well as poetic works that focus on the word as sound will be accepted. , in favor of its semantic aspects, etc. 

 

Co-authored works

 

An author may submit more than one work, as long as it is co-authored with another researcher or student in any of the thematic axes. The presentation, however, must be carried out by the main author.

 

Assessment

 

Papers submitted by 02/25/2019  will be evaluated by the Scientific Committee and by ad hoc evaluators, invited by the organization.

 

The evaluation period is from 8/02/2019 to 2/03/2019.

 

The final publication of accepted papers is scheduled for 03/8/2019.

The Scientific Committee must, obligatorily, judge the papers blindly, regarding the authors and their institutions, in a standardized form for this purpose, valuing, above all, the scientific merit of the papers submitted to the conference.

SUBMISSIONS CLOSED

From December 19th, 2018 to February 25th, 2019.

 

Letters of acceptance will be sent as late as March 8th, 2019.

Abstracts must have:

 

- up to 300 words;

- affiliation and right of the authors;

- suggestion of the stream it fits in (see below);

- written in Portuguese, Spanish or English.

Presentations will be organized according to the following streams:

a) Sound media archeology

b) Sound, affect and significance

c) Sound technologies and sociocultural practices

d) Sound and culture

e) sound art

Stream descriptions:
 

sound media archeology: This perspective takes a careful look at “sonic objects” and its materialities. It includes the study of sound devices in their machinic specificity and within the creation of an inherent logic in the context in which they are used, problematizing sociocultural approaches that tend to abstract or refuse aspects of the physicality of objects. This stream will accept proposals that deal with different technological configurations, different sound apparatuses and their particular existence in a given mediatic ecology.
Sound, affection, and significance: This stream concentrates researches that investigate the sounds both as text and force, aiming for possibilities of convergence between their somatic and cognitive dynamics. Thus, it intends to understand the interfaces between what a sound can do and what it can mean, with an emphasis on its aesthetic dimension. We accept papers that promote analyzes of musical and sound works, both from a hermeneutic perspective, and those that elicit the effects of sonic vibrations on the bodies of their producers and listeners.

Sound, affect, and meaning: This stream brings together research investigating sound as both text and force, searching for possibilities of convergence between their somatic and cognitive dynamics. Thus, it intends to understand the interfaces between what a sound can do and what it can mean, with an emphasis on its aesthetic dimension. We accept papers that promote analyzes of musical and sound works, both from a hermeneutic perspective, and those that seek to understand the effects of sonic vibrations on the bodies of their producers and listeners.


Sound technologies and sociocultural practices: Technologies can be understood as a set of solutions developed and crystallized in different objects designed to perform certain tasks. This definition may be extended to incorporate the protocols and pragmatics cultivated in certain human activities that, although not depending on specific machines, propose an organization of actions and a certain logic internal to those processes. Technologies are not dissociated from sociocultural phenomena, but sometimes propose an autonomous and uncritical discourse about their own functioning. This stream intends to discuss different aspects of these relations.
 

sound and culture: Sounds are mediators of social and cultural processes. This stream deals with sounds as processes and dynamics of circulation and symbolic consumption, as well as a means with which socialization, transformation, maintenance, cohesion and organization of social groups and their respective cultural paradigms takes place. It receives papers on sociocultural phenomena from a perspective that focuses on sonorities as a central tool for these practices.


soundart: This stream is concentrated on the emerging field of sound art, be it in its aspects of production or experiencing of sonic pieces. It receives theoretical papers that critically analyze the tasks and experiences related to the making and auditioning of installations and sound performances, experimental pieces made from the use of sound recordings, radiart, electroacoustic music, as well as poetic works that focus the word as sonority, instead of its semantic aspects, etc.

 

co-authorship

One single author might submit more than one abstract as long as at least one of the abstracts is with a second researcher or student in any of the streams. Presentation, however, must be performed solely  by the main author.

Evaluation

 

Papers submitted up to February 25th, 2019 will be evaluated by the scientific committee and ad hoc evaluators, invited by the committee as well.

Evaluation period goes from February 8th, to March 2nd, 2019.

Final publication of accepted abstracts is foreseen to March 22nd, 2019.

The scientific committee must mandatorily judge the abstract in blind-review mode regarding the authors and their institutions in a standardized form. They must appreciate, above all, the scientific merit of the abstracts submitted for the conference.
