Silences

Dates: June 4-7, 2025

Location: Federal University of Espírito Santo – Vitória/ES – Brazil

Deadline submission: December 6, 2024

The IV CIPS welcomes proposals for scientific presentations and artistic performances (for these, we will hold a separate call soon). We welcome papers that deal with all types of support, format, and media that deal with sounds. Some of the perspectives, but not the only ones, that are of interest to this conference are:

  • Sound ecologies: noises that silence, silences that amplify;

  • Images and silences; voids and noises;

  • Technologies and models of production of silence;

  • Sound, immobility, and death;

  • Silence aesthetics;

  • Sound ambiances and atmospheres that are silent or that silence;

  • Silences, their affects and processes of signification and sensation;

  • Silence in compositional practices;

  • Becoming-silence;

  • Sound politics and cultures: sounds, silencing, struggles, and insurgencies of contemporary ways of life.
