[ecrea] CFP and new deadline for Dancecult: Journal of Electronic Dance Music Culture

> This is a general call for
> contributions to Dancecult: Journal of Electronic Dance Music Culture.
> Entering a new era with a new and expanded editorial and production team,
> Dancecult is extending its deadline on submissions for its next
> edition.
> New deadline - December 20, 2010.
>
> As the issue is hosting a special section on The Love Parade, submissions
> on this theme will be welcome, in both From the Floor and Feature article
> categories.
> Also, we will host material in the next and future editions on the theme
> of Bad EDM: from disco to rave, electro to terrorcore, psytrance to
> minimal techno, e-tards to psychedelic bogans, and from
> "commercial" sounds to "cheesy" vibes, the
> identification of EDM and its cultures and subcultures as
> "bad", "other", "noisy", etc, is ever
> present in modes of (micro)distinction and identification by non-EDM and
> EDM enthusiasts alike. Critical examination of these trends offers
> insight on central issues concerning genre formation, "subcultural
> capital", the abject, popular and alternative music, as well as
> nationalist, class, race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality and age issues.
> Dancecult welcomes contributions which address this theme across all
> genres, scenes and aesthetics.
>
> Additionally, while contributions are welcome on any topic related to the
> study of electronic dance music cultures, submissions on the following
> themes are also welcome for this and near future editions: dance floors
> and embodiment; cosmopolitanism and EDM; the cartographies of EDM;
> Detroit techno; sampling and exotification.
>  
> Featured Articles:
> Featured articles are 5000-8000 words (including endnotes, captions and
> bibliography). Must include a 150 word abstract.
>
>  From the Floor
> "From the floor" hosts shorter peer-reviewed pieces. These
> include field reports, mini-ethnographies, and interviews. Pieces for
> this section should be from 1500-3000 words in length. Rather than
> written in the style of an article with formal analysis and many
> citations, FF pieces will be more conversational and creative. They may
> include substantive multimedia components. The emphasis is on
> ethnography, style and creativity.
