The concept of ‘Korean Music’ conjures many things: Kpop, pungmulnori
ensembles on university campuses, stately court orchestras and dance, the
lullabies and wails of the folk experience … there is so much, and its
routes and evolutions are countless and astounding. The title of the 2-day
conference, part of the Nam Center’s Perspectives on Contemporary Korea
conference series, references the visceral, emotional experiences embedded
in and conjured by Korean music performance across many eras, genres, and
locations. In the 21st century, Korean music defies geopolitical boundaries
and the confines of genre as artists draw on their own experiences and
communities to express the lived realities of the contemporary Korean
experience. The music we explore in this symposium is inclusive of
long-standing traditions and new creations on the Korean peninsula, music
performance in the Diaspora, and collaborations drawing and expanding upon
Korean musical aesthetics. The participants in this two-day event will
explore the many notions of Korean music on and beyond the Korean
peninsula, through space and time, and reimagined via multiple encounters
and experiences.

This event will be a combination of traditional paper presentation,
roundtables, and workshops. There will also be at least two performances
during the two-day event. The event will be free & open to the public.
Attendance will be available both in-person and virtual.

*The Nam Center is accepting submissions of abstracts for the following:*

1)    Individual paper presentations: Papers not already part of an
organized session; if accepted, the conference organizers will group
individual papers into panel presentations.

2)    Organized Sessions: Must include a minimum of three (3) and a maximum
of four (4) paper presentations. A discussant is optional but highly

theme/topic, rather than formal paper presentations. Roundtables may
include a maximum of five (5) discussants and one chair.

need to include formal paper presentations. Workshop proposals may include
2-4 presenters.
