CFP: Following sonorous bodies
--------------------------------------------
Dear all,

You are warmly welcome to join Following sonorous bodies - special issue of the Unlikely Journal For Creative Arts (https://unlikely.net.au/, Melbourne, Australia)

Guest editors Anastasia Khodyreva and Elina Suoyrjö (Turku, Finland)
Deadline for abstract proposals: October 14, 2019

This Unlikely issue aspires to work with the processual methodology of following in order to think with and through various sonorous bodies. Against habitual hierarchizing, binary and human-centric thinking, we wish to think about (and with) sonorous bodies enfolding and unfolding in relation to registers of gender, class, race, ethnicity, age, as well as human, more-than-human, posthuman, ahuman, and non-human. To attune differently to sonic bodies, we invite authors and artists to deploy, twist, and crack the intensively processual meta-methodology of following (as inspired by process philosophies such as Gilles Deleuze, Felix Guattari, Karen Barad, Erin Manning, Brian Massumi, Jane Bennett, Katve-Kaisa Kontturi, Milla Tiainen and Ilona Hongisto).

Philosophies and practices of following engage with materialities to inspire new appreciation of our involvements with matter, as it speaks to us and surprises us. As Katve-Kaisa Kontturi suggests, following works not by interpreting, explaining or classifying, but instead enables us “to embrace the ‘work’ of art [the sonic], its materiality, affective, and relational doings ... beyond the representational function, offering something new instead of what is already known” (Kontturi 2018:10). A malleable and embodied methodology, following goes with the flow in a process that intimately and intensely implicates the follower with the followed.

Following sonorous bodies invites writers and artists to engage with new materialisms with their promises and limitations to produce situated carnal knowledge about sonorous world(ings). Thinking about listening not solely with ears, but with the bodily (porous) wholeness, the issue welcomes contributors to follow emergent, diffracting and vibrating sonic materialities through writing, filming, recording, singing, crying... as they engage with topics that may include, but are not limited to:

following as (embodied) listening to and with (sound) art
listening to noises, voices, silences, and echoes outside of the milieu of sound art, that is elsewhere, with, into and beyond various breathing living embodiments
interviewing as following
following as attuning
following as touching the sonic
following the audible as un-learning the reflex to identify
following as singing, screaming, yelling

In addition to conventionally scaled texts, we are interested in gathering processual pieces which may be overlooked or not appreciated by the conventional academic scene (such as documentation of various kinds, notes for or of evolving research). To this end, the issue seeks encounters with the matter of sound art as well as welcoming other diverse engagements by researchers, practitioners and writers with the sonic in the form of
conventional articles and essays
sound-, inter- and multimedia essays
(interdisciplinary) art pieces and their documentations (with commentary/observations)
documentation of related fieldwork
notes/observations on related work-in-progress
documentation of interviews with artists and experts in the field, roundtable discussions, etc.
