CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS
WORKSHOP CHINESE INSTRUMENTS AND WESTERN MUSEUMS
LEIDEN, THE NETHERLANDS, 13-16 SEPT 2012
|
From 13 to 16 September 2012 the CHIME Foundation and Leiden University
in The Netherlands will host a workshop on the topic of Chinese Instruments and Western Museums. The aim is to share
and exchange information in the realm of Chinese musical instruments, in an open, informal atmosphere. The meeting
should be of interest to museum curators and others who work with instrument collections, and scholars active in the
realm of Chinese instruments and instrumental music.
The meeting takes place in the wake of the initiation of the MIMO project (Musical Instrument Museums Online) which
was started in September 2011. MIMO opened a public online access point to the musical instruments catalogues of the
projects affiliated museums in Europe (http://www.mimo-international.com/).
This massive body of information will serve as a useful resource for the study of world music cultures. The database
will hopefully benefit a wide group of users, including the source communities, music and creative industries and the
general public. The MIMO project raises important issues related to music research, such as the relationship between
academic study and the public exhibition of musical instrument collections, as well as the links between specific
instrument collections in European museums, and how these items can continuously reshape the understanding of musical
pasts and can open potential possibilities for future musical practices.
To facilitate exchange between museum curators and academic researchers, the CMA (Chinese Music Archive) of the
Chinese University of Hong Kong, the CHIME Foundation in Leiden (European Foundation for Chinese Music Research)
and Leiden University jointly organize the upcoming meeting in Leiden, which will feature individual papers, practical
demonstrations, discussions, films and some performances. Museum curators, academic researchers and independent scholars
are invited to submit proposals on, but not limited to, the following topics:
1. The relationship between Chinese musical instruments
and European museums
2. Biographies of individual Chinese musical instruments
and/or a special collection of Chinese instruments
currently housed at European museums
3. Chinese musical instruments within and beyond museum
display
4. Potential collaborative research and database creation
projects
5. Chinese musical instruments and European
(post)colonialism
The languages of the meeting will be English and Chinese. Please submit your abstract proposal for 20- to 30-minute
presentations in English (max. 350 words) to ciwm2012@gmail.com on or before
15 April 2012. There are possibilities for early acceptance of papers for those who need to rely on this for grant
applications (please indicate need for urgent reply when you submit your abstract). The final result of our selection
will be announced by 30 April 2012. If you have any questions, feel free to contact the organizers, Tsai Tsanhuang
(thtsai@mac.com) and/or Frank
Kouwenhoven (chime@wxs.nl).
