Sound, Movement, and the Sciences (SoMoS) 2024

RITMO and DjembeDance will host the Third Symposium of the ICTMD study group on Sound, Movement, and the Sciences (SoMoS).

The ICTMD Study Group on Sound, Movement and the Sciences (SoMoS) aims to bring together scholars whose work combines approaches from ethnomusicology and/or ethnochoreology with those from the sciences to explore sound and movement in music and dance contexts. Here, the sciences are broadly defined, including but not limited to disciplines such as cognitive science, psychology, linguistics, computer science, statistics, mathematics, biology, physics, and medical science. 

We propose that ethnographic/anthropological and science-based approaches can complement each other, producing insights that might be difficult to otherwise achieve. We aim to foster the combination ethnographic/anthropological and science-based approaches, explore issues involved in such endeavors, and present reflective discussions on relevant theories and methodologies.
