This symposium, in association with the School of Advanced Studies, addresses mapping as both an object and method of musicological enquiry. Inspired in part by the “spatial turn” in the humanities at large and fuelled by the increasing accessibility of Geographic Information Systems software, musicologists can now visualize and analyse complicated trends across time and place with greater ease than ever before. Yet, the ideological and epistemological implications of different mapping tools and techniques remain underexplored. The aim of this symposium is to situate recent projects within a longer history of cartographic practice in music studies.
Please note the quick turnaround for this call: the deadline for proposals is Wednesday 13 December 2017, 12.00 GMT and decisions will be made later that week.

In their interdisciplinary research project, carried out between 2012 and 2016 at CSIC, Institución y Mila Fontanals, the principal investigator Dr. Tess Knighton and her team explored the 16th century urban music culture in Barcelona. They analysed the comopolitan social structure of the Catalonian capital and provided insides in the cultural life of that time which go far beyond the official historiographical writing, sheding the spotlight on those who have not hitherto featured in the musical narrative of the city. The project which made considerable strides towards establishing new perspectives and possibilities for the cultural mapping of European urban music history, was sponsored by the Marie Curie Foundation.
