<div dir="ltr"><font face="arial, sans-serif">Dear Friends and Colleagues,</font><div><font face="arial, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="arial, sans-serif">I'm happy to share the CFP for a fascinating workshop at Ca Foscari, University of Venice, May 15-17, 2025.</font></div><div><font face="arial, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;color:rgb(14,40,65)"><font face="arial, sans-serif">Over the past decade, sonic approaches to East Asia have
attracted scholars from across fields of history, literature, cultural studies, ethnomusicology,
and environmental humanities. This sonic turn, drawing on the ecumenical canon of Sound
Studies, has added voice, tone, timbre, and even silence to existing narratives and frameworks of
nation, empire, society, technology, revolution, race, and gender. At its best, work has gone
further to not only foreground sound and hearing as a key aspect of experience and history, but
to challenge or refine existing understandings, frameworks, and narratives. Importantly,
this turn has also provided a set of shared topics and terms by which scholars of different
regions and periods can meet, share, work, and explore common themes.</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;color:rgb(14,40,65)"><font face="arial, sans-serif">It is in this spirit that a two-day workshop will be held at
Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, from May 15-17, 2025. The workshop will focus on two
potential directions for the field:</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;color:rgb(14,40,65)"><font face="arial, sans-serif">First, on the possibility for sonic approaches to contribute
to or challenge existing paradigms, temporalities, or national boundaries of East Asian history. </font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;color:rgb(14,40,65)"><font face="arial, sans-serif">Second, we are particularly interested in work that explores and deploys endogenous
understandings and language to engage with the sonic world and that can contribute to a
field of Sound Studies that remainsdominated by theories drawn from Western experience.</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;color:rgb(14,40,65)"><font face="arial, sans-serif">We invite scholars from across the disciplinary spectrum to
submit paper proposals that engage with the sonic and touch on any of the following
themes:</font></p>
