Fascicle 12: Musicology 2024

The editors of Roczniki Humanistyczne (Annals of Arts) invite you to co-create the fascicle Musicology no. 12 (2024) entitled "Music and resilience". Please send us original articles on music of various eras, styles and genres as a factor shaping resilience, i.e. the ability to mentally and emotionally cope with a crisis or return to a pre-crisis state. When considering resilience and music, questions can be asked, including the role of music in managing emotions in the face of situations that disturb a person's mental balance (conflict, war, illness, failures, etc.); how music can (or cannot) become a factor in returning to balance; whether music can carry elements of reconstruction or commemoration of trauma.

The interdisciplinary topic of the planned issue assumes the admissibility of methods used in the humanities and social sciences, education and cognitive sciences. Articles containing the results of empirical research using observation, experiment, survey and interview methods will be particularly valuable. We also accept historical and review texts. We expect our authors to present reliable research results and formulate hypotheses and conclusions that will allow us to recognize the potential of music in building mental well-being and overcoming difficulties. We encourage you to send texts on:

• music history
• ethnomusicology
• music theory
• acoustics
• physiology of music
• aesthetics
• instrumentology
• psychology of music
• teaching of music
• sociology of music
• cognitive science

Please only submit high-quality texts that have not been previously published or submitted for publication in other journals. Papers of up to 30,000 characters should be prepared based on the Chicago Manual of Style (17th edition) and submitted via our OJS system (https://czasopisma.tnkul.pl/index.php/rh/about/submissions).

Language of articles: Polish, English, French, German
Deadline for submitting texts: March 15, 2024
