[ecrea] CFP: Music, digitalisation and democracy

On Friday, December 14, 2018, the Department of Musicology at Åbo 
Akademi University, the research project “Digitaliseringens inverkan på 
minoritetsmusik” (DIMM – “The Impact of Digitalisation on Minority 
Music”) and IASPM Norden will host a Study Day at Åbo Akademi University 
in Turku, Finland.

The theme of the day is music, digitalisation and democracy. We invite 
papers that deal with the connections between digitalization and music, 
and issues surrounding the envisaged democratising potential of digital 
technology. Papers on other subjects that engage researchers of IASPM 
Norden are also welcome.

An introductory keynote presentation on the impact of digitalisation on 
music media will be given by Pelle Snickars, Professor of Media and 
Communication Studies at Umeå University. Snickars is director of the 
research project “Streaming Cultural Heritage: File Pursuit in Digital 
Music Distribution”. He has published several articles and co-authored 
books on digitalisation, music industry and media, e.g. Den svenska 
enhörningen: Storyn om Spotify [The Swedish Unicorn: The Spotify Story], 
Efter The Pirate Bay [After Pirate Bay] and The iPhone and My Media.

We invite proposals in the form of a short abstract of max. 200 words. 
Please send proposals as a doc/docx/pdf attachment to Juho 
Kaitajärvi-Tiekso: (juho.kaitajarvi /at/ gmail.com)
Deadline for proposal submissions is September 14, 2018. Successful 
participants will be notified by October 1, 2018.

Paper presentations last 20 minutes, followed by discussion (10 
minutes). The study day is provisionally planned to run from 9 am to 5 
pm. There will be an optional social gathering in the evening for those 
who are staying in Turku overnight.

There will be no registration fee. Participants are responsible for 
their travel, accommodation and food arrangements and expenses.

Please note that all participants must be members of the Nordic branch 
of the International Association for the Study of Popular Music (IASPM
