The RMA Music and Philosophy Study Group warmly invites paper submissions for this two-day international conference. The event, the fifth of an annual series of conferences run by the Study Group, will offer an opportunity for philosophers, music scholars, and others interested in philosophically-oriented research about music to discuss and debate their work in a collaborative setting. The conference presumes inclusive definitions of both music and philosophy. We take music to include all forms and genres of music, art music and popular, secular and sacred, raucous and refined, from any and all historical and geographical locales. We take philosophy to include analytic, continental, classical, and non-Western thought, as well as critical theory. Regardless of disciplinary affiliation, the committee seeks conceptually rigorous and clearly articulated research that presents a novel argument and advances understanding of its topic.

The optional theme of this year’s conference is “Music and the Senses,” however submissions on all topics relating to music and philosophy are welcome.

Topics of interest might include (but are not limited to):

Music, emotion, and affect; emotion vs. perception
The partition and integration of the senses Philosophical approaches to auditory perception
Non-aural aspects of musical experience (visual, tactile, gustatory, olfactory)
Sound in the history and anthropology of the senses
Music’s relationship to technology, technique, and distributed cognition
Music, sex, pleasure, intimacy, and the erotic
