The International Association for Word and Music Studies
Application Form
Introduction
The International Association for Word and Music Studies (WMA) was founded in 1997 to promote transdisciplinary scholarly inquiry devoted to the relations between literature/verbal texts/language and music. After preparations at preceding conferences (Dartmouth College 1988; Graz 1990; Lund 1995) the First International Conference of the WMA was held in Graz. The WMA aims to coordinate the manifold activities in the field and to provide an international forum for musicologists and literary scholars with interests in interart/intermedial studies, crossing cultural boundaries and expanding disciplinary categories. The registered office for the WMA is located in Graz, Austria.
