The European project ‘Popular Music Heritage, Cultural Memory and Cultural Identity’ (POPID), funded as part of the HERA Joint Research programme on Cultural Dynamics, invites proposals from the academics and practitioners for a three-day conference exploring the relationship between popular music, cultural heritage, cultural memory and identity.

In addition to paper presentations, panel discussions and keynotes, the conference programme includes film/documentary screenings and tie-in events on the topic of music and film, organized in collaboration with and in the framework of the International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR). With a history now stretching back over fifty years, popular music forms such as rock and punk may be as potent a symbol of national or local identity as traditional representations, for example, national and regional insignia, food, drink, and sport. By looking at the articulations of popular music heritage in specific European contexts, POPID has examined popular music's contribution to the narratives of cultural identity and representations of cultural memories. The conference covers four main themes:



I. Music, place and local identity

This theme considers the role played by popular music, as a mass mediated cultural form, in the negotiation of cultural identity in a local, national, and international contexts. It also looks at how this articulation is expressed in other art forms, such as books and films. Possible sub-themes for papers include:

• Mapping popular music histories and heritage

• Local and regional music and identity

• Cultural globalization and popular music

• Music and place in literature and film

II. Popular music audiences and cultural memory

This theme explores how the popular music histories of places resonate with audience and contribute to their individual and collective memories and identity formation. Possible sub-themes include:

• Fandom

• Sites of music tourism and pilgrimage

• DIY heritage



III. Popular music in heritage institutions
This theme looks at the proliferation of practices in heritage institutions (both physical and digital). Possible sub-themes include:

• Cultural policy and popular music heritage

• Popular music and locality in museum and archives

• Popular music memory in exhibitions and archival collections

• Practices of display and use of popular music material culture

• Online popular music heritage practices

• DIY heritage



IV. The music industry and the popular music past

This theme examines how popular music's contribution to the narratives of cultural identity and representations of cultural memories is articulated and negotiated in the business practices of the global popular music industry. Possible sub-themes include:

• Revivals, nostalgia and retromania

• Commercialisation of popular music past
