[ecrea] Crosstown Traffic: Popular Music Theory and Practice CFP

Call for Papers

IASPM/ARP/Dancecult/ISMMS Joint Conference - DEADLINE EXTENDED - 15 
February 2018

Crosstown Traffic: Popular Music Theory and Practice

University of Huddersfield, UK

3rd-5th September 2018

This is a call for papers for a joint conference arranged by four 
organisations:

International Association for the Study of Popular Music UK & Ireland 
Branch (IASPM UK&I)
Association for the Study of the Art of Record Production (ASARP)
Dancecult: Electronic Dance Music Culture Research Network
International Society for Metal Music Studies (ISMMS)
Hosted by the University of Huddersfield, this event will combine the 
IASPM UK&I Biennial Conference, with the 13th Art of Record Production 
Conference (ARP), a conference of ISMMS, and feature the additional 
participation of Dancecult. The theme of the conference is Crosstown 
Traffic: Popular Music Studies Theory and Practice.

A recurrent theme within popular music studies has been discussion of 
how the field can integrate different disciplines and professions, for 
example exploring both music and its context; involving both 
practitioners and researchers; and encouraging interdisciplinary and 
collaborative work. Many different issues make such approaches 
challenging, and various different popular music focused subject 
organisations have developed somewhat independently of one another. This 
conference will bring four such groups together, to exchange knowledge, 
collaborate, and to encourage crosstalk.

Proposals for presentations, discussion panels and posters are invited 
that are relevant to recent developments in any of the subject 
organisations, especially those that explore theory and/or practice. 
Applications are particularly welcomed that cut across the interests of 
those involved, and that explore:

two of more of: popular music studies; electronic dance music cultures, 
metal; or record production
musicians and researchers
music and its contexts
popular music theory and practice
practice based or practice led research
interdisciplinary approaches
interprofessional research
issues relating to identity or ethnicity
gender or sexuality studies that reach across boundaries
political developments affecting multiple contexts
music industry developments affecting wider musical or cultural contexts
technological mediation
performative or embodied understandings
Other innovative proposals are welcome that are related to, but not 
limited to:

popular music studies and/or practice
record production (interpreted in the broadest sense): the relationships 
between the production of recorded music and for example practice, 
business, education, gender and diversity
metal music, practice and cultures
electronic dance music and its cultures
