The International Musicological Society East Asian Regional Association (IMSEA) is pleased to announce its upcoming biennial meeting, under the theme: “Heritage and Community”
We invite proposals that address topics and issues related to the creation, transmission, and inheritance of musical heritage to promote understanding and shared values among music scholars.
Key questions to be considered include:
How could music scholars contribute to and engage with diverse traditions and legacies from East and West?
How could music scholars ensure inheritance of traditions and legacies?
What common ground might be explored among scholars researching musical traditions, heritage, and community?
How could scholars contribute further to the mutual understanding of humanity?
We welcome proposals from a variety of disciplines and methodologies dealing with topics including, but not limited to, tradition, performance, history, theory, sound, environment, cultural and transcultural studies, ethnicity, globalism, ritual, sustainability, technology, values, and ethics, that explore the interplay between music, heritage, and community.
We encourage submissions from scholars at all stages of their careers, including early-career researchers and graduate students. We hope to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of ancient and modern musical traditions by bringing together these diverse perspectives.
