*Call For Papers*
We are delighted to announce the call for papers for the 2012 annual 
conference of IASPM-ANZ. This year, the conference will be organized by 
Dr Michelle Phillipov, and held at the University of Tasmania. We are 
pleased to stage our annual event in Hobart in keeping with the rotating 
conference schedule of Australia and New Zealand locations.
Abstracts for paper presentations are now invited from researchers with 
an interest in popular music, regardless of disciplinary orientation. 
All papers detailing new and established research in the field will be 
considered, though preference may be given to papers that demonstrate 
clear engagement with the stated conference theme. Papers with a 
theoretical orientation are particularly encouraged, as are submissions 
from postgraduate students.
*Conference Title*
The concept of ‘/flow’/ is essential for understanding the fluidity, 
flux and diffusion of contemporary media and culture. /Flow/ reveals the 
complexities of contemporary cultural production, consumption and 
participation. It also illuminates the ways in which ideas, information, 
culture and technology are exchanged and imbued with meaning and power.
The concept of /flow/ has been influential in the work of Appadurai 
(1990) and Castells (1996), and in more recent writing on media and 
convergence cultures. Questions of /musical/ flow, however, remain an 
under-explored area. This conference invites papers that consider the 
role of music in the facilitation and disruption of media and cultural 
/flow/. In doing so, it considers music as something that moves between, 
and within, different spaces, places, texts, communities and technologies.
In particular, we seek papers addressing:
1. the /flow/ of popular music within and across different digital and 
textual platforms,
including film, television, journalism, and social media;
2. the /flow/ of popular music between different cultures and cultural 
formations,
such as the local, national, transnational and global;
3. the /flow//s of popular music studies,
its history and current practices within the academy, as well as its 
disciplinary, theoretical and methodological futures;
4. the /flow/ of popular music studies outside of the academy,
in policy, journalism, and popular understandings of ‘music’;
5. the construction and disruption of musical /flow/,
in musical composition, performance and other artistic arenas.
We also welcome abstracts considering any other area of popular music.
