<p class="MsoPlainText"><b><span lang="EN-US">The Gobal Composition 2018. Conference for Sound, Ecology, and Media Culture<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">From <b>4-7 October 2018</b> the scientific-artistic conference „The Global Composition“ will take place again on Mediacampus Dieburg (Darmstadt UAS), Germany. Subtitle: „Sound, Ecology, and Media Culture“. Our keynotes
will deal with topics like computer games, gender and voice, aircraft noise and children’s cognitive development, practices and methods of auditory perception.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><b><span lang="EN-US">Check out</span></b><span lang="EN-US"> our keynote lectures and keynote workshops :<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">http://international-media-culture.eu/global-composition-2018/keynotes-and-program<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">You want to join? <b>Check our call for submissions.</b> Your proposals will be double blind peer reviewed by our committee: http://international-media-culture.eu/global-composition-2018/call-for-submissions<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">All accepted papers will be published in our conference proceedings. The conference is organized by the Research Centre for Digital Communication and Media Innovation (Darmstadt UAS), the Master’s program International
Media Cultural Work (Darmstadt UAS), and endorsed by the World Forum for Acoustic Ecology.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">We’ll, too, have panel discussions and open workshops to discuss acoustic ecology’s future and generational change, in terms of social aims, contents and foci, educational approaches, intellectual frameworks, artistic
methods, political strategies etc.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">Within the conference’s framework, <b>
we welcome scholarly, scientific and artistic submissions</b> from the whole field connecting acoustic ecology and media culture, including the topic of facilitation and education. We encourage the latter to go beyond notions which identify education merely
as the instruction of a subject mastery, but instead understand it as implying to a large extent individual and communal maturation aspects as well as aspects of the formation and strengthening of a personality, group or culture. In this sense, the Latin root
of education, educere, means to lead forth; the Latin root of culture, colere, means to plant and foster. Both focus on sustainability.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">We’ll also be inquiring about the major aspects of the generational change in acoustic ecology and Soundscape Studies as well as the role of new audio technologies and Augmented/Virtual Reality as facilitators of auditory
awareness. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
