Subject: [AUDITORY] CfP "Music and Mental Imagery" - Special Collection in Music & Science From: Liila Taruffi <liilataruffi@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2022 13:34:18 +0100Dear colleagues, We're pleased to announce a Call for Papers for a special collection on "Music and Mental Imagery" in Music & Science (https://journals.sagepub.com/page/mns/special-collections/music-and-ment= al-imagery). The submission portal is now open, and full manuscripts can be submitted any time until 31 August 2022. As Music & Science runs continuously, each article accepted by peer review is made freely available online immediately upon publication, is published under a Creative Commons license and will be hosted online in perpetuity. ----------------------------------------- About the special collection: There has recently been a renewed focus on mental imagery and its underlying (quasi-)perceptual processes in the cognitive sciences, including attempts to reconsider well-known psychological phenomena such as dreaming, episodic memory or synaesthesia as forms of mental imagery, and discoveries of people unable to form visual and auditory mental image= s on the one hand=E2=80=94conditions coined aphantasia and anauralia, respectively=E2=80=94and cases of individuals experiencing extremely vivi= d mental imagery on the other. Mental imagery is highly relevant in a variety of musical contexts, too. For instance, many people experience involuntary musical imagery (i.e., earworms) several times a week; listening to music often evokes visual mental imagery (i.e., images in the mind=E2=80=99s eye); musicians use a = range of mental imagery strategies to prepare for performances (e.g., visualizing the score or imagining hand and finger movements); and composers utilize musical imagery to conjure up new worlds of sound and then try to capture them in notation. To shed further light on the role of mental imagery in musical contexts, we invite submissions from scholars and practitioners working on any topi= c related to mental imagery and music such as (but not limited to): =E2=80=A2Content and function of mental imagery during music listening an= d making =E2=80=A2(In)voluntary musical imagery =E2=80=A2Music-related mental imagery and emotional response =E2=80=A2Mental imagery across the senses in musical activities =E2=80=A2Music-related mental imagery in special conditions (e.g., synaes= thesia, aphantasia, etc.) =E2=80=A2Music-related mental imagery and other states of consciousness (= e.g., absorption, trance, mind-wandering, etc.) =E2=80=A2Neural substrates of music-related mental imagery =E2=80=A2Role of mental imagery for creative processes in music =E2=80=A2Mental imagery as practice and performance strategy =E2=80=A2Music-related mental imagery from a cross-cultural perspective =E2=80=A2Music-therapeutic uses of mental imagery All best wishes, Mats K=C3=BCssner (Humboldt-Universit=C3=A4t zu Berlin / Goldsmiths, Univ= ersity of London) Liila Taruffi (Durham University) Solange Glasser (University of Melbourne)
