Appel de conférences pour le colloque « Rethinking Landscape: Environment, Place, and Heritage in British Music Studies », en ligne, 10-12 juillet 2025.

« Landscape and environment have been topics of perennial interest in British Music Studies, inspiring both celebrated and controversial readings of connections between British music, nature and climate, and identity. Yet in the era of the climate change emergency, these issues are both taking on new urgency, and prompting new debates and compositional techniques. We thus propose a timely rethink of the scholarly terrain and thinking around landscape in British music.

We hope to address the following questions: how does the category of landscape continue to inform British music studies in the era of climate crisis? How are new generations of performers and composers responding to landscape in fresh and innovative ways? How can the traditional methodologies for discussing landscape in music be informed by techniques and perspectives from sound studies, environmental science, philosophy and heritage studies? How can fresh insights into landscape and environment inform our historical study of earlier British musical traditions? How might a new focus on place (ranging from the global to the local) challenge and reframe entrenched conceptions of British musical landscape? »
