[ecrea] CFP: "Musical Cities: Music, Historiography and Myth," IASPM-US 2019

The International Association for the Study of Popular Music-United 
States chapter invites proposals for its 2019 conference. The meeting, 
which will take place in New Orleans, Louisiana, March 7-10, 2019, will 
feature the theme “Musical Cities: Music, Historiography, and Myth.” We 
welcome proposals for individual papers and panels (up to four 
individuals) on any aspect of popular music, especially proposals on the 
musical cultures of New Orleans; music in and of the global and local 
South; and music and race and resistance.


Subtopics might include

  * Cities, music, and race
  * Musical legends and apocrypha
  * Specific cities as places of musical genre origin
  * Space and place in music-making
  * New Orleans as a site of resistance, rebuilding, reconstruction, and
    gentrification
  * Intersectionality in musical cultures
  * Music and historiography in the context of global and local Souths
  * Religion and spirituality in musical cultures

IASPM-US is an interdisciplinary organization and is eager to include 
work not just from ethno/musicologists and other music scholars, but 
also work from a wide variety of viewpoints, including those of scholars 
of race, religion, sexuality, gender, geography, folklore, history 
(including archaeology, military history, oral history, public history, 
intellectual history, micro history and all other disciplines), 
ethnography, comparative literature, Francophone and Hispanophone 
studies, Latin America, law, education, esotericism, area studies, and 
other relevant areas. This year’s program committee consists of Kendra 
Preston Leonard (chair), John Dougan, Murray Forman, Shana 
Goldin-Perschbacher, Anthony Kwame Harrison, and Jennifer Stoever.

All presentations are limited to 20 minutes. Submit an abstract of no 
more than 250 words no later than October 1, 2018. Individual abstracts 
should identify the methodology used, state the paper’s goals, summarize 
the context and argument of the paper, and include a brief conclusion. 
Panel abstracts should include a 250 description of the panel’s 
rationale and goals and a 250-word abstract for each individual 
participating in the panel. Abstracts must be anonymous and not include 
the submitter’s identity or references that could lead to the revealing 
of their identity; abstracts not adhering to the word count will not be 
considered.
