Call for Papers

The issue 8 of the Journal of Sound, Silence, Image and Technology (JoSSIT), edited by Eulàlia Febrer Coll, will publish a selection of articles drawn from the papers presented at the I Study Days in Ludomusicology, organised by LudoSpain, SIBE’s Ludomusicology Working Group. Like the study days, this issue will bring together multidisciplinary research and practical proposals exploring the musicological subdiscipline of ludomusicology from a variety of approaches, including ethnomusicological, pedagogical, compositional and performative approaches. 

The Journal of Sound, Silence, Image and Technology (JoSSIT) is a peer-reviewed, open electronic journal that has been published since 2018 by the SSIT research group, linked to the TecnoCampus university, affiliated to the Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF). JoSSIT brings together academic debate and scientific research on the relationship between sound, widely considered, and audiovisual contexts. Until issue 7 it has been published annually, but from issue 8 onwards it will be published biannually (2 issues per year).
