>The Annual Conference of the BFE will be held 
>from 16 - 19 April 2009, and hosted by the Popular
>Music Studies Unit at Liverpool John Moores 
>University, UK. This 4-day conference seeks to
>generate new perspectives and understandings on 
>the interrelatedness of music, culture and
>globalisation through stimulating 
>interdisciplinary and intercultural theoretical dialogues, and
>thereby moving beyond those conceptualisations 
>that are already established in ethnomusicology
>and other music-related disciplines. To this 
>end, various guest speakers will be engaged to
>contribute a range of different theoretical 
>perspectives on a more contemporary understanding of
>music and global culture. The keynote will be 
>delivered by Professor John Tomlinson, Professor of
>Cultural Sociology and authority on the cultural 
>aspects of the globalisation process.
>
>
>
>Submissions are now invited on any aspect of the 
>theme with papers that seek to explore newer
>issues relating to this subject, including, but 
>by no means limited to, the following: (1) Musical
>traditions in transformation; (2) Music, place 
>and identity; (3) New centres and peripheries?; (4)
>Music, mediation and tourism; (5) New approaches 
>to ethnographic enquiry and research
>methods. Abstracts (approximately 300 words) for 
>paper presentations lasting 20 minutes should
>be submitted by 30 November 2008. Film shows and 
>performances may also be proposed, as may
>pre-formed panels or workshop sessions, for 
>which a longer abstract with named speakers
>should be submitted (approximately 1,000 words).

>The Annual BFE Conference will be held in 
>Liverpool (UK), a buzzing musical city that has just
>celebrated its 800th birthday in 2007 and 
>continues celebrations as European Capital of Culture
>2008. Liverpool is renowned for its vibrant 
>music culture and the Beatles, football, maritime
>heritage, arts and culture, shopping, and
