>There have been significant recent shifts in the 
>relationship between popular music and other 
>media forms. In cinema, the practice of 
>commissioning a newly-composed soundtrack has 
>been largely replaced by the employment of 
>pre-existing pop/rock tracks; in TV 
>advertisements, the presence of popular music 
>and the visibility of popular musicians have 
>increasingly challenged the jingles and 
>anonymised voiceovers of traditional advertising 
>practice; within journalism, the (non-musical) 
>behaviour of popular musicians has become a 
>central facet of the current pre-occupation with the cult of celebrity.
>
>Proposals are invited for postgraduate projects 
>that seek to explore such developments, and 
>which reflect the applicants own interests and 
>priorities. Thus, for example, proposals might 
>seek to provide a general assessment of the 
>causes and consequences of the emergent 
>relationship between music and other media; or 
>to concentrate on a specific area of 
>media/musical activity; or to examine the 
>implications for professional notions of 
>authenticity & creativity; or to concentrate on 
>the historical, economic or musical significance of these trends.
