THEMES FOR PRESENTATIONS

Possible themes include (but are not limited to):

• Soundscapes of borders and thresholds: music and sound in liminal, contested, or militarized spaces.
• Prison songs and their echoes: sonic experiences of detention and legal spaces.
• Cultural rupture and silencing: interruptions, erasures, and losses in musical traditions.
• Ritual and cohesion: performance as a site of communal bonding-or fracture.
• Digital mediation: the ambivalence of online platforms as sonic spaces of connectivity and fragmentation.
• Methodological retlections: studying "connection" and "disconnection" through sound as critical research practice, exploring how listening, performing, and enacting produce knowledge.

Formats:

• Individual papers (20 minutes + discussion)
