>University, UK. This 4-day conference seeks to

>globalisation through stimulating 
>interdisciplinary and intercultural theoretical dialogues, and
>thereby moving beyond those conceptualisations 
>that are already established in ethnomusicology
>and other music-related disciplines. To this 
>end, various guest speakers will be engaged to
>contribute a range of different theoretical 
>perspectives on a more contemporary understanding of
>music and global culture. The keynote will be 
>delivered by Professor John Tomlinson, Professor of
>Cultural Sociology and authority on the cultural 
>aspects of the globalisation process.
>

>
>Submissions are now invited on any aspect of the 
>theme with papers that seek to explore newer
>issues relating to this subject, including, but 
>by no means limited to, the following: (1) Musical
>traditions in transformation; (2) Music, place 
>and identity; (3) New centres and peripheries?; (4)
>Music, mediation and tourism; (5) New approaches 
>to ethnographic enquiry and research
>methods. Abstracts (approximately 300 words) for 
>paper presentations lasting 20 minutes should
>be submitted by 30 November 2008. Film shows and 
>performances may also be proposed, as may
>pre-formed panels or workshop sessions, for
