>Call for Papers: Sound & Music in Film & Television
>
>While it is common to speak of seeing a film,  audiences spend as much
>time listening.  Film sound theorist Michel Chion notes that "we never see
>the same thing when we also hear; we don't hear the same thing when we see
>as well."  Scholars are increasingly recognizing the crucial role of sound
>and music in the larger media experience. Issue #51 of The Velvet Light
>Trap will examine specific uses of sound and their importance in media
>production and consumption.  The editors welcome essays that address the
>roles played by sound and music in the larger signifying processes of
>film, television, and related media.
>
>Possible topics for this issue include but are not limited to:
>… Image/sound relationships & strategies (e.g. music & narrative, thematic
>usage, sound effects)
>… Film music composers, foley artists, sound engineers
>… Exhibition practices (e.g. sound systems, orchestras, muzak, the
>Japanese benshi narrative tradition)
>… Audience sounds (laughter, screams, silence, etc.)
>… Musical shorts, scopitones, & video jukeboxes
>… Sound and genre (e.g. musicals, westerns, horror, action, teen films,
>animation, etc.)
>… Music Television & "MTV-ization" of music aesthetics & industrial
>strategies
>… Sound and representations of race, class & gender
>… Made-for-TV rock and roll (e.g. The Monkees, American Bandstand, etc.)
>… Voice, intonation, and meaning-making
>… Soundtrack albums & the consumption of film & TV music (e.g. crossover
>marketing)
>… International contexts (e.g. film dubbing, Bollywood, etc.)
>… Sound, music, & emotion (evocations of  nostalgia, euphoria, loss)
>… History of sound technologies in film & television (e.g. microphones,
>gramophones, Dolby, DTS)

>… Music documentaries (e.g. Woodstock, Buena Vista Social Club, etc.)
