*"From ‘cine silente’ to TikTok: Music, Sound, and Moving Media Across the
Ibero-American World"*

Following the success of previous meetings, the Ibero-American Music Study
Group invites its members and any conference attendees to a new edition of
the IAMSG-AMS Lightning Lounge, to be held during our business meeting at
the 2026 online AMS Annual Conference. Like preceding versions, this
Lightning Lounge will feature a selection of short papers centered around a
broad and inclusive theme. This year, the central topic will be “From ‘cine
silente’ to TikTok: Music, Sound, and Moving Media Across the
Ibero-American World.”

Beginning in the late nineteenth century with the advent of silent film,
and expanding through subsequent technological innovations in the twentieth
and twenty-first centuries—from synchronized sound cinema and television to
music videos, video games, streaming media, social media, and artificial
intelligence—moving media has served as major conduits for the exploration
of identities, the interpretation of historical and cultural events,
storytelling, and communication. Within these media, music and sound have
played strategic and essential roles in shaping how messages and meanings
circulate across the Ibero-American world, while also articulating and
consolidating the communities, traditions, and regions represented on
screen. Yet, despite their centrality, studies of moving media often treat
music and sound as secondary, invisible, or purely functional, rather than
as active agents in producing, shaping, and negotiating meaning, knowledge,
power, and affective experience in the Ibero-American world.

This panel invites scholars to re-examine historical and contemporary
perspectives on the moving media in Latin America, the Caribbean, and the
Iberian Peninsula, with particular attention to the transnational and
affective roles of music and sound. We welcome abstracts for 10-minute
presentations that examine music, sound, and moving media across these
regions during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. These can be case
studies or broader theoretical approaches. Topics include, but are not
limited to:

- Music and sound technology in film history
- Music and sound in audiovisual genres
- Silent film and live musical performance
- Music, sound, body, and movement in media
- Power and politics in moving media
- Music and sound as a narrative and expressive tools
- Music, sound and literary adaptation across media
- Any other topics related to the intersection of music, sound, and moving
media

Abstracts of up to 250 words should be sent to *iamsg.proposals at gmail.com
<iamsg.proposals at gmail.com>* by the *6th of March.*
