Special Issue on Regional and Rural Popular Music Scenes

Guest-edited by Andy Bennett, David Cashman, and Natalie Lewandowski

/Popular Music and Society/invites article proposals for a special issue 
on Regional and Rural Popular Music Scenes.There is now an established 
body of literature on popular music scenes (see, for example, Straw, 
"Systems of Articulation, Logics of Change: Scenes and Communities in 
Popular Music"; Shank, /Dissonant Identities/; Bennett and Peterson, 
/Music Scenes//: Local, Translocal and Virtual/).Significantly, however, 
this literature is heavily centered on the urban metropolitan experience 
of music scenes or "music cities."While such work is clearly important 
in understanding the cultural and economic importance of music, the 
dominance of this metro-centric approach also serves to further detract 
attention from regional and rural spaces and places, the latter also 
providing important settings for the production, performance, and 
consumption of popular music (Waitt and Gibson, "The Spiral Gallery: 
Non-Market Creativity and Belonging in an Australian Country Town").This 
special issue will bring together a series of papers that will offer new 
insights regarding both the distinctive contributions made by regional 
and rural music scenes in the contemporary world and their connections 
to national and transnational networks of popular music production, 
performance, and consumption.

We invite papers with themes that may include, but are not limited to:

·Performers and performance (including touring in regional and rural areas)

·Venues and other performance spaces (festivals, street music, busking, 
etc.)

·Legislation and policy frameworks

·History and heritage

·Regional and rural music scenes and social identities (such as gender, 
age, disability, race)

·Participation, audiences, and access to music in regional and rural areas

·Travel, tourism, and leisure

·Representations of regional and rural music in film, television, and media

·Social media with respect to regional and rural music scenes

·Fan communities in regional and rural music scenes

Send proposals of up to 500 words by 30 June 2018 to guest editor 
Natalie Lewandowski at (natalie.t.lewandowski /at/ gmail.com) 
<mailto:(n.lewandowski /at/ griffith.edu.au)>.Indicate the name under which you

postal address, and preferred e-mail contact. Proposals will be reviewed 
for potential inclusion in the journal, with authors of selected papers 
being informed by 15 August 2018.

Authors to be included in the volume should expect to have their full, 
final manuscripts prepared by 1 August 2019. These submissions should be 
between 6,000 and 8,000 words (inclusive of everything) and should use 
MLA style. All affiliations, e-mails, and snail-mail contact information 
should be supplied in the first submission; however, for purposes of 
blind peer-review, your name or the names of your coauthors should not 
appear in the body of the manuscript. All papers will be peer-reviewed 
by at least two peers as well as the three guest editors of the special 
issue. We are happy to receive inquiries about prospective submissions. 
Please send all queries to (natalie.t.lewandowski /at/ gmail.com)
