DESCRIPTION:Sound Studies: Art\, Experience\, Politics is a three-day conf
 erence featuring leading researchers and artists in the field. The confere
 nce will include presentations by leading academics\, as well as a sound a
 rt installation by an artist in residence\, and an evening Sound Art and C
 riticism Salon.\n\nThe conceptual foundations of this conference are that 
 sound is a vast assemblage of multisensory experiences and multivalent con
 ceptualisations\, and that sound is at once embodied\, social and politica
 l. Sound Studies: Art\, Experience\, Politics invites researchers to consi
 der not only the relationship between sound and broader sensory perception
  but also the social\, political and economic implications of sound. The c
 onference will address two interrelated themes: Sound\, Society\, Politics
  and Sound and the Body. Conference sessions will include papers on:\n\n- 
 Gendered Sounds\n- Sound\, Conflict & War\n- Urban Phonography\n- Sound\, 
 Embodiment & the Multisensory\n\nSound Studies: Art\, Experience\, Politic
 s aims to draw attention to the international growth of sound studies\, an
 d to emphasise the innovative and potentially subversive nature of researc
 h that steps outside of the norms of academic investigation into visual an
 d textual materials.\n
