The Formal Theory Study Group is pleased to announce that the rescheduled International Conference on Musical Form will take place virtually on 21st-23rd June, 13:00-19:00 (BST). We are looking forward to welcoming Janet Schmalfeldt (Tufts University) and Steven Vande Moortele (University of Toronto) as keynote speakers, and hosting a roundtable discussion on ‘Formenlehre and Canonicity’.
The provisional conference programme is available here: https://www.formenlehre.co.uk/icmf-programme
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the conference will now take place online with pre-recorded papers and posters that you can watch in advance of the conference. The live conference will instead give delegates five minutes to summarise their paper, followed by ten minutes of questions. Most of the pre-recorded papers are already available for viewing. To join the conference and access the pre-recorded papers, you will need to complete the online registration, which is completely free. To register, there are three main steps:
1) Sign up to our website (formenlehre.co.uk). Click on the ‘log in’ button on the top right of the page. You will then be directed to a page for setting up an account.

3) Change the quantity of ‘ICMF Event Ticket’ to 1, then press check out and fill in the form. A confirmation email will be sent to you.

‘Rethinking Participatory Processes Through Music’
14-15 January 2022, online event
https://musicdemocracystudydays.wordpress.com
Convened by Igor Contreras Zubillaga (British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow, University of Huddersfield) and Robert Adlington (University of Huddersfield)
Keynote speakers: Hélène Landemore (Yale University), Anna Bull (University of York), Raymond MacDonald (University of Edinburgh)
In recent times, the UK’s Brexit vote, the 2016 US presidential election, and other elections worldwide have made democratic processes the subject of unprecedented public debate. This has led to widespread questioning of the mechanisms for people’s participation in the democratic system and in political decision-making. One of the most ground-breaking inquiries into what public participation ought to look like within democracy has recently been carried out by political scientist Hélène Landemore (Yale University). In her book Open Democracy (2020), Landemore favours the ideal of ‘representing and being represented in turn’ over direct-democracy approaches. Drawing on recent experiments with citizens’ assemblies, Landemore offers a different concept of nonelectoral democratic representation.
