Local:
Universidade de Évora - University of Evora, Portugal
CALL FOR PAPERS
Geral-General
In furtherance of our principal aim of promoting the
interchange of knowledge and experience in the field of musical instruments,
the Organological Congress 2013 in Portugal will bring together scholars and
all who are interested in the various subjects embraced by Organology, such as
museology, engineering, acoustics, archaeology, history, applied arts,
psychology, or in issues related to the performance or use of musical
instruments (neuroscience, ergonomics, morphological anthropology,
kinanthropometry or others). We are looking forward to the revealing of “new
ideas”, new studies on instruments, new research methods, inventions and
further developments of acquired scientific knowledge. While the main theme in
2013 will focus on innovation in sound studies and production and a strand of
the congress will embrace this theme (see below), papers are welcomed from any
branch of organology, in order to maintain our aim of representing this
scientific area as an holistic whole. Resumos-Abstracts
We are inviting potential participants to submit abstracts (200-300 words) in English (international common language), for lecture proposals (15+5 minutes for questions and handover), lecture-recital or recital proposals (30 minutes) or posters, in all topics related to Organology, including acoustic analysis, construction or study of the mechanics of instruments, museological concerns (collections, exhibition, conservation, media, public policies, etc.), iconography or performance issues. Papers are cross-related with the opportunity being provided for open sessions. We appreciate proposals which are original, technically excellent, and with a synthetic and critical posture. Presentations should be in English, wherever possible, but may also be in Portuguese, French or Spanish, provided that the presentational material (PowerPoint) is in English.
The title, abstract and a short biography (100 words) should
be received by email (to: congressorg.animusic@gmail.com) on or before the 20th of March of 2013,
independently of time zone. The results will be communicated individually after
being peer-reviewed by the scientific committee, not later than the 31st
of March. Papers presented at the Organological Congress may be submitted for
publication in the conference proceedings. Early registration is available
during February and March. Participants are offered special discounts for flights
by TAP.
Special guest speakers: Dr.
Peter Holmes, Prof. Eberhard Meinel, Prof. Jeremy Montagu, Prof. Arnold Myers

TEMA-THEME
Leading to new ideas : innovation from past, present and future
By identifying crossroads of diversified knowledge, this
meeting will facilitate the interchange of ideas, bringing people together from
various fields and expanding awareness of what exists and what might exist.
Beyond the reinvention of the past, using a limitless imagination regarding the
building of instruments with traditional materials, the bridge to new
technology has been crossed to access a new world of sound exploration.
Wonderful possibilities have been opened up with the advances in technology, both
in the study of the lost past or the surviving objects of the present, as well
as in the development of innovative instruments, paving the way to a future
whose potential remains unimaginable even for the workers on the cusp of these
developments, let alone the general public. Different perspectives will be
presented at this conference, for the observation of the intersection of sound
with everyday life, the physical and psychological effects of listening and
playing, the interconnectivity or the regional particularities observed in the
various collections around the world, or for cultural originality of any kind. Researchers, constructors, inventors,
curators, traders, artists, and all interested in this unlimited journey will gather
to debate the inventive spectrum of ‘sound’ production and musical composition
and also to investigate what has lead the human to value organised sound so
greatly and what drives us on to expand the world of sound continuously,
ensuring that the one predictable thing about the future of human sound tools will
be their unpredictability. Sound and creation, from time immemorial into the
future. Leading to new ideas : innovation from past, present and future
