Review of Disability Studies (RDS): An International Journal - Dance Beneath the Diamond Sky with One Hand: Disability and Music - Call for Papers. RDS is honored that the theme for the special forum of the international journal will be disability and music. We are seeking potential contributors to show our community's customary fearlessness by casting aside dependence upon the all-too-often oppressive paradigms of music theory, music criticism, and musicology, and by refuting the negative disability stereotypes of popular media. Traditional academic disciplines in music are cultural institutions that have so far thoroughly excluded or otherwise marginalized people with disabilities. Popular music criticism continues to portray extreme stereotypes of disability as the norm. Our project is designed to establish an entirely new paradigm of interdisciplinary disability studies of music. Thus, we urge potential contributors, regardless of their fields of training, to articulate their ideas about music and disability. Send via email 250-word abstracts, by March 1, 2007 to Guest Editors Alex Lubet (School of Music/Center for Jewish Studies/Program in American Studies, University of Minnesota) and Na'ama Sheffi (Communications, Sapir Academic College, Israel). Please be sure to send abstracts to both editors.
