The Musicological Society of Australia is delighted to announce the launch of
the Australian & New Zealand Postgraduate Music Research Register.  The register
is accessible via a link at http://msa.org.au/thesisregister.html

The register is a database which contains the details of more than 2000
music-related theses completed since 1917 or in progress at universities in
Australia and New Zealand.  The database can be browsed in its totality, within
its 39 subject classifications, or in any combination of classifications. A
keyword search is also available.  The register has been compiled from library
catalogues and in conjunction with some authors, particularly those whose
projects are in progress.  It includes some abstracts, and provides links to
digital copies of many of the more recent theses.

A limited number of dissertations on Australian and New Zealand topics completed
at overseas universities are also included, and we would very much like to
improve the comprehensivity of this category.

***If you are working on, or have completed a postgraduate dissertation on an
Australian or New Zealand topic we would very much appreciate your submitting
your project to us for inclusion.  The information required is listed on the
"Include Your Thesis" page of the register website.***

best wishes to you all

This past year, Jean-Luc Nancy's book Listening was translated into English and
published by Fordham University Press.  Following up on this publication, the
SMT Music and Philosophy Interest Group led a very successful and stimulating
discussion at the Baltimore 2007 annual meeting.  In response to the excitement
this discussion produced, the interest group welcomes preliminary proposals from
music theorists, musicologists, and philosophers for a proposed special session
relating music, musicology, and music theory with Nancy's thought for a
presentation at the AMS/SMT 2008 joint meeting in Nashville.  Any topics
exploring the relationship between Nancy's thought and music are welcome, but
here are a few suggestions:

Hearing and Listening (entendre, ecouter); Sight, Sound, Meaning, and Sense;
Resonance; Renvoi; The Ontology of Music; The Resonant Subject/Self; "Music
Listening to Itself"; Music and the Political; Music's relation to and of
Nancy's philosophical themes (freedom, community, myth, literary communism,
ex-tasis, body, presence, ecotechnics, love, touch, being-with, being singular
plural, etc.); Music and Phenomenology (Derrida, Lacoue-Labarthe, Levinas,;
Heidegger, Husserl, Hegel); The "Nancian" Musical Work; "The Muses"; Mousike and
the Plural Arts; Music and Community; Nancy and Electronic Dance Music; Any

The Institute is an independent entity funded entirely by generous private
individuals dedicated to creative musical scholarship. Applications are
submitted electronically via the website and reviewed by committee. Outstanding
jazz and pop musicologists are invited to join their peers and share in this
innovative and transformative experience in collaborative learning.

The application deadline is March 1, 2008. Inquiries should be directed to Wayne

877-8350, 150 West 85th Street, New York, NY 10024 USA.

The Mannes Institute proudly announces its third annual Miles Levin Musical
Essay Award honoring an outstanding essay on the topic of Jazz Meets Pop, the
theme of this year's Institute from June 15-18, 2008 hosted as a special event
at Eastman School of Music. The winner will receive a cash prize of $250, and
present the winning essay as a plenary speech before the distinguished members
of the Institute. Where appropriate in light of other qualifications, the author
may be invited to attend some or all of the Institute proceedings as well.

This prestigious award is given in memory of Miles Levin, an extraordinary young
essayist whose life and work tragically were cut short. The essay, as spoken,
should be approximately fifteen to twenty minutes in length, and may relate to
jazz and/or pop music in any way. It may be reflective, historical, humorous,
metaphorical, philosophical, theoretical, poetic, playful, ironic, critical,
and/or personal, but must above all engage readers and listeners in a
compelling, entertaining, thoughtful, intuitive, sensitive, and provocative
manner. Please note that this award is not for a detailed scholarly or
analytical article comparable to those appearing in a professional journal, or
even a paper read at a formal academic conference. The tone is more in the
nature of a keynote address. The style is creative nonfiction, with an emphasis
on wit and imagination, charm and humor, insight and sincerity, sophistication
and erudition, oratorical flair, and the belletristic quality of the pro
se itself.

The essay may have intellectual and musical content, references, and allusions,
but should contain no footnotes, no bibliography, and no analytic handouts or
examples, other than perhaps a musical score. Doctoral students are ineligible.
Submissions may be considered for publication in a forthcoming periodical
entitled The Musical Essayist. Essays should be submitted electronically as pdf
files or MS Word documents to mannesinstitute_at_aol.com. Decisions are rendered
by committee. The submission deadline is March 1, 2008. For further information
see the Institute's website at www.mannes.edu/mi or contact Wayne Alpern,
Director, The Mannes Institute, mannesinstitute_at_aol.com, (212) 877-8350, 150
