Call For Papers
Issue 3.3: Special issue on Sound
+Liminalities: A Journal of Performance Studies+

The aim of this issue of +Liminalities+ is to visit new areas of  
research
in sound culture and oral traditions; new media potentials for using
audio in and as performance; and to revisit classical performance
topics like elocution, oral interpretation, and voice. This special
issue responds to the increased interest in sound and music in cultural
studies and performance studies, the increasing availability of
sound-editing and music-production software, and the rise in cultural
relevance of podcasting and other methods of distributing
audio-centered theoretical, ethnographic, documentary, and aesthetic
content.

We are looking for both audio projects and projects about sound.

Contributors may address some of these themes as they relate to
performance:

Aural environments
Oral interpretation
Digital storytelling
Spoken word performance
Sound environments
Auditory culture
Oral histories
The "return" of orality
Digital technology
Multimedia performance
Noise
Sound art
Music
Propaganda
Radio
Soundscapes
Podcasting
Voice
Aural memory
Listening
Documenting performance
Documentary as performance
Recording

The editors anticipate the issue may contain (at least) three sections:
.       Audio performances
.       Audio essays/projects addressing the special issue theme
.       Textual essays exploring theoretical and practical issues of  
sound
in/and/as performance.
