Musicology Buzzword Bingo, 2008 Edition
Rules:
- You can play as many boards simultaneously as you want.
-
Each time a word (or gesture) is used, click the square to mark it off
(or, if you prefer paper, print and cross it off — it is more fun for later
if you leave the under-writing legible).
-
Any paper, or public AMS event (awards, etc.) is fair game, or anything
overheard spoken by someone you do not know. Lunches with friends, etc. are off limits.
- The middle square is a free square.
-
The object is to get five in a row horizontally, vertically, or along one
of the two main diagonals.
-
To win, you should say bingo at least loudly enough for people nearby to notice;
record the time that you won. (You may of course choose to wait until the end of the paper
to say this, but someone might beat you by then.)
-
Post your winning bingo board on the AMS announcement board with your
initials or a pseudonym, for all to see.
Two comments:
-
Words marked with a * do not have to be used exactly. For instance
“liminal*” can be satisfied by “liminality”, “liminalness”,
“liminalousity”, “neo-pseudo-liminalitude”, etc.
-
To get that one last word such as “motet” or “blues” you might
actually have to go to a paper on a topic outside your normal comfort zone.
Maybe this bingo game will do some good for musicology — MSC.
