[ecrea] CFP: IASPM-ANZ 2017, December 4-6, Wellington, Aotearoa/New Zealand

Mixing Pop and Politics: Subversion, Resistance and Reconciliation in 
Popular Music
IASPM-ANZ 2017 Conference
December 4-6, 2017
Massey University, Wellington, Aotearoa/New Zealand

Forty years ago, the story goes, punk broke. Not for the first time, and 
not the last. History provides us with ample examples of the power of 
popular music to speak to, through, and against various political 
moments. The contemporary situation also offers countless opportunities 
to explore how popular music revisits, reconstitutes, rewrites and 
reconciles itself to this past. At the same time, it also points to new 
directions informed by the complicated position popular music occupies 
in relation to the shifting paradigms of power in which we currently 
find ourselves. This IASPM-ANZ conference aims to explore the complex 
politics of resistance, subversion, containment and reconciliation from 
now and then, as well as points in-between.

We are seeking papers and panel proposals that touch on, but are not 
restricted to, the following areas:

• (We’re) Stranded: Punk and Post-Punk in Australia, New Zealand and Beyond
• I Will Survive: The Politics of Pleasure and Popular Music
• You Don’t Own Me: Cultivating, Codifying and Commodifying Resistance
• You've Got the Power: Populism, Authoritarianism, Anarchy and Popular 
Music
• This Machine Kills Fascists: Technologies, Politics and Popular Music
• The Revolution Will Not Be Televised: Popular Music on Screen(s)
• Here’s Where The Story Ends: Alternate Histories of Popular Music
• Last Night a DJ Saved My Life: Of DJs, Dancefloors and Discos
• We Are the Robots: Resistant, Reconciled, Reconstituted, Recombinant 
Bodies in Popular Music
• If You’re Feeling Sinister: Affect, Emotion and the Subversive Power 
of Popular Music
• Playing With a Different Sex: Otherness and Othering in Popular Music
• A Whisper to a Scream: Silence, Distortion, Amplification and the 
Politics of Sound
