Sixth International Conference on
Analytical Approaches to World Music (AAWM 2020)
REPORTÉ AU 9-12 juin 2021
Musée de l’Homme, Paris, France
The year 2020 marks the tenth anniversary of the AAWM International Biennial Conference series. Exploration of the rich musical heritage of the world continues to receive increasing attention from a broad array of theoretical, cultural, historical, psychological, empirical, informatics, and analytical perspectives. Analytical Approaches to World Music 2020 is the sixth in a series of conferences that bring together scholars to explore the panoply of global musical traditions, both past and present, that lie outside the purview of European Art Music in order to foster interdisciplinary and cross-cultural dialogue and promote new approaches and methods.
The meeting will include three special panel sessions:
● Music and Evolution, in association with the Musée de l’Homme
● Rhythm and Repetition: Cognitive, Cultural, Empirical, and Philosophical Perspectives
● Plenary session in honor of Simha Arom
The meeting will also feature keynote lectures by:
David Huron (The Ohio State University)
Sylvie Le Bomin (Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle)
