Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce our small workshop on sound studies:
We are pleased to announce our small workshop on sound studies:
"Trajectories in Sonic Japan-an interdisciplinary workshop"
Tokyo University of Foreign Studies
June 21st, 2023, 12pm-3pm
Room: 219 (research and lecture building second floor).
Scholars have recently noted the need to move beyond the reliance on western genealogies, manifestations, and theorisations of key (canonical) terms in Sound Studies. Whether we understand the study of sound as an academic field (sound studies), or as a tool available to multiple disciplines research on, in and through sound in Japan has rapidly increased over the last decade. During the same period, the geographical range of sound studies has broadened, and in this context this short workshop provides an opportunity for Japan scholars from a wide range of disciplines to come together to discuss their current and future research.
Presentations:
Chiharu Chujo (TUFS): "Japanese Love Songs through Gender Criticism: A Case of Crossed Gender Performance"
Philip Flavin (Kansai Gaidai University): "Cultural Noise and 'Sound': Accordions, Violins, and the Creation of 'Modern' Traditional Music"
Matthew Stefanyszyn (SOAS): "The Online Afterlife of Kankyō Ongaku"
Jeremy Corral (TUFS): "Recorded sound in electroacoustic music and the representation of the social subject in post-war Japan"
Martyn David Smith (The University of Sheffield): "City Music versus Urban Noise: The 'hell' of modern sound in Japan".
Iris Haukamp (TUFS): "Changing the sound of the past in 1930s films"
Please don't hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions about the workshop.
With best wishes,
