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.
