How do we make sense of abstract concepts such as dissonance and modulation? In the theory tradition I take as a starting point, these kinds of concepts are viewed as being based in a network of definitions. This allows us to generalise and abstract, but also leads to certain limitations. They lack the kind of grounding in concrete experience that more everyday concepts have. In light of this, I am interested in the experiences and informal ways of talking about music that students with more informal music backgrounds bring from music activities outside formal schooling. Are they brought into formal music education, and if that is the case, how are they used to make sense of concepts like dissonance or modulation? Viewed like this, my project is about the meeting of informal and formal music cultures.

Possible topics for discussion: What function does writing have in artistic research? What can an artistic research text look like? Later on, the course will focus on the candidates' own (writing) projects. Selected pieces of students' work in progress are carefully read and discussed in detail on three occasions. These text discussions are designed to demystify the writing but also to make the individual candidate aware of qualities and weaknesses in his/her own writing practice.

5 A Critical Approach to Visual and Multi-Sensory Representations for History and Culture We invite to a multidisciplinary conference for scholars and practitioners who study the implementation and potential of visual and multisensory representations to challenge and diversify our understanding of history and culture. Read more in Attached pdf, or at SOMATIC ARCHIVING Malmö Academy of Music invites to a seminar with Professor Susan Kozel, School of Art and Culture/K3, Malmö University Wednesday 26 November, Room: X-243, Ystadvägen 25, Malmö This seminar will be based on AffeXity, one of the artistic research strands of the larger Living Archives research project at Malmö University. With AffeXity a group of artists and designers (from dance, music, photography, computer science and interaction design) used augmented reality browsers (AR) running on mobile devices to create choreographies of affect in urban spaces using archival material and live performance. This seminar will open up both our practical artistic methodologies and the conceptual or theoretical questions we posed with the research. Improvisation and its relation to affect, somatic materialism, and performative re-enactment through media and memories will be discussed. CURRENT SCHOLARSHIPS AND GRANTS List at Gothenburg University of scholarships and grants for different categories of applicants in all disciplines. The list is sorted by the application deadline.
