[ecrea] Popular Music Fandom and the Public Sphere: A One Day Symposium

KEYNOTE SPEAKER: Professor Cornel Sandvoss (University of Huddersfield) –

“To Listen and to Make Yourself Heard: Value, Identity and Citizenship 
in Popular Music Fandom”

In the mainstream media, popular music has traditionally been associated 
with collective displays of emotion. Yet music fandom is actually about 
a range of things: shared tastes and personal convictions, individual 
subjectivity and wider community. Fandom does not exist entirely in 
private nor entirely in public, but is characterized by a process of 
continual mediation between the two. The symposium features papers by an 
international group of over 20 speakers and will be based in room 107 on 
the first floor of the Binks Building on the University of Chester's 
main Parkgate Road campus It will start at 9.15am and finish at 5pm. ALL 
WELCOME. This is a free event, but registration is essential. For more

Organizers: Dr Mark Duffett (University of Chester) and Dr Koos Zwaan 
(InHolland University of Applied Sciences).
