Call for papers Prague 2014
ESEM XXX: Crossing Bridges
Deadline for the submission of abstracts: January 10th, 2014
The XXX European Seminar in Ethnomusicology (ESEM) will take place from Wednesday to Sunday, September 3-7, 2014, in Prague, the Czech Republic. The principal host will be the Institute for Ethnomusicology of the Faculty of Humanities of Charles University.

And it is exactly here, in the dynamics of the most various interactions, that we see a metaphor for the seminar. Continue reading “Call for papers Prague 2014”
