Call for proposals

Each year, the IReMus Sorbonne Université- International Doctoral Congress of Music and Musicology  presents the latest musicological research by young scholars from around the world.

The congress, organized by the BJC, gives young researchers in musicology an opportunity to present their research to a wider audience .  In doing so it aims to:

• encourage exchanges between young  researchers from different backgrounds;
• promote dialog between doctoral students and established researchers;
• raise awareness around  current scientific issues through collaborative workshops;
• foster ongoing development in musicological research.

The congress is open to all doctoral students in this field of study, regardless of their laboratory or university of affiliation. Submissions from a broad range of disciplinary perspectives are welcomed.

This year’s theme explores the multifaceted relationship between music, spaces, and circulation. Topics may include (but are not limited to) :

• Spaces of production and reception 
• Circulation of musicians and repertoires
• Cultural exchanges and crossed  influences
• Music and international relations
• Mediation and appropriation mechanisms
• Musical attractiveness of territories
• Internationalization of the music industry

Approaches incorporating musical practices are also welcome. Presentations may include a musical performance (no keyboard instrument will be available).

Presentation time: 20 minutes followed by 10 minutes of discussion.
