SUMMARY:Konferenz Between Ulm and Jerusalem
DESCRIPTION:Sound and Hearing Cultures in Mutual Perception (500 –1500)\n\n
 Whether music, speech, or everyday noise, sounds – and also their absence i
 n the form of silence – represent an essential means of communication and i
 dentification in human cultures. By appreciating sounds or silencing them, 
 we connect to real or imaginary places and spaces, people, rituals, social 
 structures, and natural environments, and develop wishful thinking and desi
 res. Sounds and noise evoke or express emotions. By evaluating these and by
  communicating our interpretations in various media, feelings of belonging 
 are formed, and social or cultural communities are demarcated. Just as we i
 dentify ourselves through our sonic expressions, we also take in the cultur
 e of “others” with all its acoustic phenomena, adding interpretations, eval
 uations, and (pre-)judgments. In intercultural encounters, these sonic imag
 es of “self” and “other” are put to the test, renegotiated, fought over and
  against, overturned or consolidated. The conference traces the multidimens
 ional processes of perception and interpretation of sonic cultural encounte
 rs in the millennium between 500 and 1500 from a transregional perspective.
  For this purpose, we follow travel routes through diverse geographical and
  cultural, but also imaginary, spaces. Leading questions are: how do the tr
 avelers perceive, evaluate, and describe their own as well as the foreign a
 coustic environment? How do they move and stage themselves in “other” sound
  cultures? Which musical phenomena are adopted and with which motivations? 
 Which prejudices and desires develop in the interplay of their own and “for
 eign” sound perception? And what expression do these mental constructs find
  in concrete social (sound) action? An interdisciplinary and multi-perspect
 ive approach including an intermedial, multisensory understanding allows us
  to examine different cultures and their sound spheres, and to discuss the 
 multidimensionality of their social and individual perception as well as th
 eir social, aesthetic, and emotional effects.\n\nThe conference will take p
 lace online via Zoom.\n\nIn order to attend, please register here: https://
