CIM19 - Conference on Interdisciplinary Musicology

"Embodiment in Music"

Graz, 26-28 September 2019

JIMS Special Issue

As mentioned during the conference, the next special issue of the Journal of Interdisciplinary Music Studies will be centred on the theme “Embodiment in Music”, a topic which allows our participants to elaborate on their work and submit it to a peer-reviewed, open access journal (without paying any fee). We hope that you would agree that the conference generated opportunities to advance our individual and collective knowledge of this field - it is our wish that this special issue can provide a focal point for both attendees and the wider music research community. You are all invited to send us your manuscript for consideration. Please read the guidelines for submissions and send your submission via email to Andrea Schiavio and Nikki Moran - the editors of this special issue. The deadline is January the 30th, 2020 - now extended till the 29th of February 2020.
