Tue Feb 15 19:53:55 GMT 2022







Call for Proposals
RiffsVol 6 Issue 2 (Dec 2022) – Popular music materialities

*Editor* Iain A. Taylor, University of the West of Scotland


“What we had thought to be an object was revealed as what I would call a thing. And the thing about things, if you will, is that far from standing before us as a fait accompli, complete in itself, each is a ‘going on’—or better, a place where several goings on become entwined.” (Ingold, 2010: 96)


For this issue of Riffs, we invite proposals which explore the materiality of popular music, and the forms, formats, and practices which constitute it. We invite pieces of work which consider popular music, and popular music culture, as a thing, a ‘going on’ or, better yet, as a place where several goings on become entwined.

We are interested in submissions which relate to (but are not limited to):

  *
    Popular music, materiality and memory
  *
    The materiality of musical instruments
  *
    Listening as a material culture
  *
    Material metaphors in digital music spaces
  *
    Ecologies of musical materiality
  *
    The materiality of obsolescence (or, the obsolescence of materiality)
  *
    Popular music materialities as exclusionary and inclusionary
  *
    Issues of materiality and environmental sustainability in the music
    industries
  *
    Music materialities of journeys and traveling

Feel free to include written, visual, and/or musical elements and to propose work that emerges from collaborations between writers, poets, musicians, composers, and visual artists (etc).
