Join this Music Education Special Interest Group seminar to consider how music teacher education can promote cultural diversity in Brazil's increasingly conservative political atmosphere. As the newly elected conservative government comes into power in Brazil, the term 'ideology' is being used in distorted ways and targeted as an 'evil' to be fought against. In such a scenario, educators play a key role in securing people's right to a plurality of ideas and freedom to learn, teach, research and disseminate culture, thoughts, art and knowledge, as stated in the Brazilian Education Law and Federal Constitution. Music teacher education may be able to contribute to promoting diverse cultural manifestations. Pedagogical approaches can benefit from philosopher Paulo Freire's dialogical, problem-solving and humanising education.

Flávia has lectured at the Universidade de Brasilia since 2006 and co-ordinated the Music Teacher Education course. Her research interests include informal learning, critical pedagogy, popular music, social justice and music teacher education.

Date / time: Tuesday 18th June 2019, 4pm

Location: Bancroft Road, BR 4.01

Title: Comparative musicology: The science of the world's music

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Abstract:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What is music, and why did it evolve? How can we understand the unity and diversity found throughout the world's music? Scientific attempts to answer these questions through cross-cultural comparison stalled during the 20th century and have only recently begun to make a resurgence. In this talk, I will synthesize recent advances to outline a new unified theoretical/methodological framework to understand and compare all of the world's music. This framework takes advantage of new scientific theories and methods – particularly from advances in computer science, psychology, genetic anthropology, and cultural evolution – to apply comparative musicological research to answer longstanding questions about the origins of music and to contemporary issues including music copyright law and UNESCO policy. In doing so, I argue for an inclusive, multidisciplinary field that combines the qualitative methods traditionally employed by musicologists and cultural anthropologists with quantitative methods from the natural sciences.

Bio:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Patrick Savage joined the Faculty of Environment and Information Studies at Keio University, Japan in 2018 as an Associate Professor. Previously, he received his MSc in Psychology from McMaster University, PhD in Ethnomusicology from Tokyo University of the Arts, and pursued a postdoc in the University of Oxford School of Anthropology. His research focuses on using science to understand cross-cultural diversity and unity in human music. His research has been featured in high-profile outlets including Nature, Science, PNAS, The New York Times, The Atlantic, and The Economist. The title of this talk is also the title of his first book, which is under contract with Oxford University Press.

Fwd: CfP: Time Changes in Experiences of Music and Dance – International Symposium at the University of Hamburg, Germany

Call for papers

Time Changes in Experiences of Music and Dance – International Symposium

Dates: Friday, November 29th – Saturday, November 30th, 2019
Location: Institute of Systematic Musicology, University of Hamburg, Germany
Web: https://www.slomo.uni-hamburg.de/conference.html
Contact: SloMo.gwiss@uni-hamburg.de
There is no registration fee for the symposium.

Music and dance, both as ephemeral forms of art, are based on time at
different levels, from very brief moments lasting a few milliseconds
up to larger forms that can span hours or even years. Intrinsic
characteristics of the performance such as tempo and event density may
shape our sense of time. Similarly, our expectations, focus of
attention and emotional state are crucial for perceiving performances
as meaningful and coherent works of art over a given time span. Music
and dance may transform our temporal experiences such that time seems
to fly by, to stretch out, or to be lost to us completely as we enter
states of flow.

This two-day symposium will discuss current research on perceived
changes of time and temporality in music and dance from diverse
theoretical angles and methodological perspectives. Topics include,
but are not limited to:

Time representations, dilations and distortions,
Inner clock and attention models,
Chronobiology,
Neural and bodily groundings of time experiences,
Simultaneous temporal layers,
Small- and large-scale structures,
Human experimentations with time in the arts.

Preliminary program: Speakers at the symposium include Asaf Bachrach
(Paris), Bettina Bläsing (Bielefeld), Fleur Bouwer (Amsterdam), Simone
Dalla Bella (Montreal), Jörg Fachner (Cambridge), Coline Joufflineau
(Paris), Sonja Kotz (Maastricht), Justin London (Minneapolis), Guy
Madison (Umea), Jason Noble (Montreal), Guido Orgs (London), Michelle
Phillips (Manchester), Alexander Refsum Jensenius (Oslo), Zhuanghua
Shi (Munich), Virginie van Wassenhove (Paris), Marc Wittmann
(Freiburg). There will be a lecture performance by Rosalind Crisp
(Paris, Melbourne) and a poster session.

Abstract submission: We invite abstract submissions for poster
presentations from researchers (at all stages of their career) in the
fields of music and dance science, musicology and theory, psychology
and neuroscience and related disciplines, with research interests in
time and temporality. Please send abstracts for posters (no more than
300 words) to: SloMo.gwiss@uni-hamburg.de. Abstracts should include
sections on background, aims, methods, results, and discussion.

Deadline for abstract submission: August 1, 2019

Notification of acceptance will be sent by August 21.

Fwd: SIG Music: Call for papers - Symposium on Eudaimonia: Perspectives for Music Education

 

Call for Papers

Symposium on Eudaimonia, Music, and Music Education

 May 22nd & 23rd, 2020

John J. Cali School of Music, Montclair State University, New Jersey, USA

Eudaimonia – often interpreted as "living well," "pursuing one's true purpose," or "human flourishing" – is a perennial philosophical concept in Western scholarship. It frequently goes unarticulated, especially within the practices of music and education.

Eudaimonia is about purpose, identity, ethics, and virtue. It is concerned with societal harmony, community, and the pursuit of personal fulfilment through action. However, the potentials of eudaimonia are affected by the principles underpinning contemporary institutions, including but not limited to: issues and concerns of (neo)liberal capitalist democracies such as the United States of America, Newman's ideal of the university and higher education, and human compulsions to make and engage with artistic practices. While eudaimonia and its achievability are perennial concerns, they are also pertinent and timely.

The organizers of this symposium invite innovative thinkers from diverse fields and disciplines to discuss issues in and related to eudaimonia in, for, and through music and education. Topics for consideration may include but are not limited to:

·       Intersections of education, wellbeing, therapy, and community;

·       Spirituality and holistic wellbeing;

·       Diverse philosophical perspectives on human flourishing;

·       Climate change, eco-literacy, eco-awareness and music and/or education;

·       Eastern and Western philosophical perspectives related to eudaimonia;

·       The natures, scope, aims, and purposes of eudaimonia in/for music and/or music teaching-and-learning;

·       The kinds of understandings and abilities that school, university, and community music teachers/facilitators need to possess in order to
develop sites of eudaimonia;

·       Historical factors contributing to understanding various kinds of "eudaimonic" interactions in music and education (potentially, in
different contexts worldwide);

·       Understanding of eudaimonia that activate and guide "revolutions" in music teaching/learning procedures as these relate to issues of
moral development, racism, homophobia, poverty, neoliberalism and so forth;

·       Relationships among social, cultural, political, gendered, racial considerations with eudaimonia in/for music and/or teaching-and-
learning;

·       Roles for musical and educational technologies have in/for eudaimonia in music education and community music contexts.

Abstracts of 300 and a 50-word bio words to be submitted via this form, by September 1st, 2019. Notifications of acceptance will be by October 1st, 2019.
