Shifting titles, and a new challenge: "One, two... Soup!"

Behind the stage of paper writing: how the paper title has shifted while writing over the last weeks (I recovered these from my drafts between June 6 - 13)

• Shifting musicologies, or the transversal capacities of New Materialism live as an explosive fuel to performance studies.

• Shifting musicologies and the new materialist generation: methodology, ontology and time for change.

• Or, productive alliances and not-a-new methodology

• New materialism live! Transversal methodology, shifting musicologies, and time for a radical politics of affirmation

• Or: affirming (my) new materialist music(ologi)cal experience as performance and transversal methodology

• Or: Hippies or Butches?  Soft affirmation as alternative to feminist criticism

• New materialism live! Transversal methodology, posthuman subjectivies and shifting musicologies

It reveals some of the more articulate and less subtle stages of the process, I think..   what do you think? (the penultimate one remains my favorite..)

p.s. yes, I've finally finished. As you may have noticed, there is a point where I couldnt keep up with the live stream. Probably, there's a time of opening up, and one of closing down. Necessary to get things done.
This morning I realize that all the more, as I just started the next paper challenge, and immediatly felt the desire to share some thought again..

and of course, no new project goes without a funky working title. For today:

"One, two… Soup! On the limits of politeness/othering, perception, and pluri-modal ontology"


This paper will focus on the Speculative Turn, and I'm taking some earlier posts on that book (on the authenticity of imitation, for instance) as the starting point..  I need a shorter hashtag for this one, do you have suggestions? #12soup doesnt look good, I think..

Livestream paperwriting. Shifting musicologies ..

Today: a new experiment, after longterm frustration about paperwriting and the evil facebook distraction that notoriously stands in the way of efficient writing.

Now let's see if postindividualist thoughtstream may actually enhance the product.

Follow the livestream on twitter and join with the hashtag #shiftingmusicologies. This is an invitation to join, help, laugh at, challenge, and criticize the process. And remember, your contrinbutions will be acknowledged, in line with the recently proposed new materialist citation politics.*
