> Popular Music announces a Call for Papers for a Special Issue on 
> East Asian Popular Music. We are particularly interested in 
> submissions which address the transnational production and 
> circulation of East Asian Popular Music both within and outside the 
> East Asian region as a result of processes of globalisation and 
> digitalisation; the new ways that popular music is being configured 
> in relation to politics, society and technology under the legacy of 
> Anglo-American political and cultural hegemony; the rise and decline 
> of globalism; and (post)colonialism. These themes might include, for 
> example, the impact of Japanese pop culture since the 1990s, the 
> advancement of the Korean Wave (Hanryu) phenomenon in the 2000s, and 
> the rise of pop culture in China. We wish to prioritise research 
> which is exploring the way music is crossing existing borders and 
> blurring previous musical and cultural boundaries.

> This issue will be the first special collection concerned with East 
> Asian Popular Music since the Special Issue in 1991 (vol. 10/3) 
> which focused on Japanese popular music. In the first instance, we 
> invite abstracts (max. 150 words) outlining the proposed 
> paper$B!G(Bs content, to reach us by 1 July 2010 (please send to 
> <mailto:(homey81 /at/ gmail.com)>(homey81 /at/ gmail.com)). All submissions will 
> need to be in English. We will publish a maximum of eight papers and 
> we therefore request that submitted papers are between 5,000 to 
> 8,000 words in length.

> An accepted abstract does not guarantee that a paper will definitely 
> be published because all submissions will go through the usual 
> refereeing procedures. We would ask you to please pass this 
> information on to others who might be interested.
