The Art of Making a Scene: Vocal Disruption, Affective Regimes, and Public Space (Eugenia Siegel Conte and Max Jack)
  • Football stadium and crowd
As part of the UC Santa Barbara Ethnomusicology Forum, UC Santa Barbara PhD candidate Eugenia Siegel Conte and UC Santa Barbara alumnus Max Jack (Ethnomusicology, PhD 2019) will present a lecture titled "The Art of Making a Scene: Vocal Disruption, Affective Regimes, and Public Space" on Wednesday, May 19, 2021 from 3:30-5 pm PDT via Zoom. Conte and Jack will discuss how they discovered unexpected links between their scholarly interests and have been collaborating to show how space/place, body, voice, and “affective regimes” (Mankekar and Gupta 2016) can lead to a recognition and reorganization of public space through the embodied poetics of voice. They will also talk about the importance of mentorship, friendship, creativity, and collaboration in scholarship.
