PUBLICATIONS

LMJ 22 CALL FOR PAPERS: ACOUSTICS
Immersed as we are in electronically mediated sound, at the end of  
the day---whether it's coming from ukuleles or earbuds---sound  
reaches us through acoustic pressure. The sheer physicality of sound,  
and its quirky interaction with our sense of hearing, has driven many  
a composer and sound artist to go back to the "year zero" in music--- 
before the codification of melody, rhythm and harmony---and explore  
fundamental aspects of the physics and perception of sound. For  
Volume 22 of Leonardo Music Journal we solicit articles and artist’s  
statements on the role of acoustics and psychoacoustics in music and  
audio art. Deadline to submit proposals: 15 October 2011. Find out more

THE LAND IS THE SOURCE OF LAW
A NEW BOOK BY C.F. BLACK
The Land Is the Source of Law: A Dialogic Encounter with an  
Indigenous Jurisprudence (Routledge, 2010) is a new book by Dr C.F.  
Black. Though a relatively "new" field, indigenous jurisprudence is  
the product of the oldest continuous legal system in the world.  
Utilising a range of texts - films, novels, poetry, as well as "law  
stories"--CF Black blends legality and narrative in order to redefine  
jurisprudence in indigenous terms. Find out more

ANNUAL MEETING OF THE SOCIETY FOR SOCIAL STUDIES OF SCIENCE
The intersection of art, science and technology constitutes a

this panel, we invite submissions from artists practicing in this  
area as well as theorists grounded in science studies, history and  
philosophy of science, art history, literary theory and related  
disciplines whose research addresses the novel questions posed by  
these new artistic practices. Find out more
