[AMS-announce] CFP: Musica Humana (new journal), Korean Institute for Musicology

[ams-announce-admin at list.bowdoin.edu]

The Korean Institute for Musicology (Suk Won Yi, permanent director) 
is pleased to announce a new publication: Musica Humana, a 
peer-reviewed journal which will be published twice a year.

Musica Humana is devoted to the study of music as the mental, 
communicational, and socio-cultural product of human activities.  It 
sets its sights on an integrated and comprehensive approach, rather 
than committing itself to a specific, specialized and focused area of 
study. The journal aims to aide communication amongst scholars from 
diverse fields and thus invites contributions from various 
perspectives and critical methodologies including, but not limited 
to, empirical sciences, linguistics and semiotics, sociology and 
anthropology, intellectual history and cultural theory, as well as 
aesthetics and philosophy.

It is also hoped that the journal will provide a venue for a 
trans-continental exchange of ideas and a fostering of research 
collaboration. The Editorial Board reflects our aspiration to be an 
international journal in every sense.
