Day Two: Thursday, 24 May

Breakfast and Registration: 8:00 – 9:00 am
Allard Hall (building 11), Main Atrium

Keynote 9:00-10:00am, Betty Andrews Recital Hall. 

Serge Lacasse, Music(Ec)ology: The Ecology of Music-Related Disciplines

Is musicology a discipline? How can we make sense of the multiple approaches and methods used in musicology, music theory or other fields of research in music? In his keynote, Serge Lacasse will propose a glimpse at his own academic path approached as a disciplinary journey within a music(ec)ological system. He will propose post-humanism as a possible theoretical thread in order to give some cohesion to such an apparent disciplinary chaos, reflecting, perhaps, the many (often contradictory) orientations taken by musicology in general. In the end, Lacasse will offer an optimistic vision of a future musicology that would encompass and integrate the various trends found in the field today, notably through interdisciplinary collaboration.
