WORKSHOP: MUSIC MOVES! EXPLORING MUSICAL MEANING THROUGH SPATIALITY, DIFFERENCE, FRAMING AND TRANSFORMATION

It is with pleasure that the DFG-project group "Moving Music. Meaning, Space, Musical Transformation" at the Musicology Department of Georg-August University Göttingen announces the “Music Moves: Exploring Musical Meaning Through Spatiality, Difference, Framing and Transformation” workshop, to be held on June 19th & 20th, 2013 at the Georg-August University Göttingen, Germany. The Music Moves workshop 2013 offers a space for the critical exchange and discussion centering upon musical movement and meanings associated with this movement. It is expected that twelve participants consisting of senior and junior researchers from over eight countries will be in attendance. This workshop provides the opportunity to explore concepts such as spatiality, difference, framing and transformation while situating them musically. The panel sessions of the workshop will examine the avenues opened up by these concepts.

The “Music Moves: Exploring Musical Meaning Through Spatiality, Difference, Framing and Transformation” workshop will adopt a transdisciplinary use of musicological, anthropological, historical and cognitive concepts in order to develop an understanding of musical meaning grounded in, and arising from, movement.
