Tue May 03 12:31:12 GMT 2016




40 Years of Mute Records

Editors
Dr Zuleika Beaven, Marcus O’Dair, Dr Richard Osborne Dept of Performing Arts, Middlesex University London Call for Chapters Proposal Submission: 3 June 2016 Full Chapters Due: 30 November 2016 Introduction As the influential independent record label Mute approaches the milestone of its 40th anniversary, this edited academic book will explore Mute’s wide-ranging impact in the music industries. Drawing from disciplines such as popular music studies, fan studies, semiotics, art & design, creative industries management, identity studies and musicology, each chapter will take a distinctive artist-led approach. The editors of this book are currently working with label founder Daniel Miller, Visiting Professor of Music in the Department of Performing Arts at Middlesex University. The volume will be offered to a major publisher for publication to coincide with the 40th anniversary of Mute in 2018.
Recommended Topics
Proposed chapters should be based around the case study of a chosen Mute artist and explore a theme related to the impact of the label. Some chapters of the book are already in place and consequently some Mute artists are already being covered. We are particularly keen to receive submissions relating to Erasure, Goldfrapp, Throbbing Gristle, Yazoo, Diamanda Galas and NON/Boyd Rice.

Themes may include but are not confined to:
• Mute aesthetics • Technology and innovation • Producers and remixing culture • Music and other art forms, including videos • Gender and sexuality • Mute and localities • Mute business practices • The Mute family of companies and imprints • Mute’s relationship with other labels, from Rough Trade to EMI • The label’s journey from independent to major to new independent • Mute releases as artifacts and collectables • Fans of Mute and Mute artists
Target Audience
Academics, researchers and students in a wide range of fields with an interest in popular culture will find this text useful in furthering their own research in the field. While academic in tone, the book will also be aimed at Mute enthusiasts. Submission Procedure Researchers are invited to submit a 400-word abstract explaining the scope and topic of their chapter, and detailing the proposed Mute artist(s) who will form the case study at the centre of the chapter. Deadline: 3 June 2016. Authors of accepted proposals will be notified by 30 June 2016 about the status of their proposals and sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters must be submitted by 30 November 2016. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis. Contributors may also be requested to serve as reviewers for this project.
