Call for Papers: Race, Sound, & Performance Deadline: January 11, 2012 The Spring 2012 Current Musicology Issue 93 will be devoted to the intersections of sound, race, and performance. As sound is central to how humans understand themselves, others, and their environments, we are seeking submissions that critically engage the ways in which constructions of race are created and negotiated through sound and music. The editors of Current Musicology are offering a broad call unrestricted to topic, time period, or methodology. But we ask that all submissions are critically engaged with the production of music and/or sound within culture, and the ways in which music and/or sound impacts understandings of racial and ethnic identity. Authors are also encouraged to engage the mobilization of sound through performance, and the ways in which identity is “performed” through racialized understandings and conceptions of sound. This call is open to scholars from a broad range of disciplines including, but not limited to: Ethnomusicology, Musicology, Music Theory, Anthropology, African-American Studies, Latin American Studies, European Studies, Asian Studies, African Studies, Ethnic Studies, Cultural Studies, English, Comparative Literature, Critical Race Studies, Gender and Sexuality Studies, and Sound Studies, as well as to independent scholars who are working critically with sound and music. The deadline for submissions is January 11, 2012 for spring publication. For submissions guidelines, please visit our website at http://music.columbia.edu/~curmus/
