CALL FOR PAPERS
The organizing committee of the Yale Graduate Music Symposium is pleased to announce that submissions are now being accepted for our 2018 conference, trans[…]. The many variations on this theme form a constellation rich with possibilities for musical scholarship. How might this prompt us to rethink such seemingly familiar musical concepts as transposition, transformation, and transcription? And how might thinking with and through music inform our notions of trans[…]? In seeking contributions that inquire into various extensions of trans[…], we hope to cultivate a space for the exchange of diverse scholarly work that explores the many implications of thinking across, of thinking beyond: of thinking trans[…]. We particularly encourage submissions from trans, genderqueer, and non-binary scholars, whether or not their work explicitly explores the experience of identifying as such. Possible continuations of trans[…] include, but are not limited to:
• Transdisciplinary • Transgender • Transformational • Transgressive •
• Transcultural • Transnational • Transactional •
• Transition • Transmission • Transposition • Transcendence •
• Transference • Translation • Transcription •
