[Commlist] Call for Proposals: Urban Music Studies

*_Urban Music Studies_*


Series editors: Alenka Barber-Kersovan, Lisa Gaupp, Volker Kirchberg and 
Robin Kuchar


Intellect and the Urban Music Studies Scholars Network are delighted to 
announce the launch of a new book series Urban Music Studies. We are 
seeking innovative book-length contributions that explore the issues of 
music and the city in line with the series’ objectives.


Urban Music Studies aims at an inter- and trans-disciplinary exchange 
between researchers working on the relationship between the music and 
the city. The series covers a broad range of topics and musical 
practices, current as well as historical. With its cross cultural point 
of departure and the focus on countries and geographical regions which 
are normally excluded from the scientific discourse (such as Global 
South), this series will bring fresh perspectives on the role of music 
in the accelerated urbanisation processes.


We welcome proposals for monographs, readers and edited collections. The 
theoretical model of Urban Music Studies is based on the assumptions that:


• there is a vital exchange between the music and the city

• music is a part of the intrinsic logic of cities

• music contributes to the image design of a city

• music is an important part of the economy of cities and urban regeneration

• music can become an issue of urban politics and policies

• music is an essential component of the cultural heritage of cities

• music is a pivotal part of urban culture and the Creative Industries
