Proposal: Poster session titled Music, Games, and Play
Recent developments in the field of ludomusicology demonstrate a growing interest in the scope of "play" outside video games, despite the fact that its recent focus has been on the interaction between music and video games. In other words, scholars are increasingly interested in music and its relationship to all aspects of play, including but not limited to sporting events, amusement parks, casinos, and playgrounds. As a return to a broader approach to ludomusicology increases the scope of the field well beyond its recent study, we seek to illustrate how the field now intersects with a variety of subsets of musicology, music theory, and other fields of study.
This year we are proposing a poster session focusing on all aspects of music and play. However, we are not discouraging research on music and video games. Instead, we are proactively "opening the door" to those interested in aspects of play that go beyond this medium.
The purpose of a poster session is multifaceted. This poster session aims to:
Reflect on the growing possibilities of ludomusicological research;
Foster an environment that enables larger quantities of research presentations outside of the traditional 20-minute paper sessions;
Create an environment that is more inclusive of scholarship of all kinds, especially those in the early stages of their research careers; and
Capitalize on the fact that many scholars interested in ludomusicology are not strictly members of the AMS, mainly members of our joint conference with the Society for Music Theory.
For this event, we aim to promote as much high quality research as possible. Therefore, it would be excellent to have a reasonably sized space where up to 10-20 posters could be displayed simultaneously.
