CFP – The Business of Live Music
A conference to mark the completion of an AHRC funded project: ‘The Promotion of Live Music in the UK, An Historical, Cultural and Institutional Analysis’
CFP – Jazz and Race, Past and PresentEmerging at the confluence of diverse streams, the genre we know as jazz was made predominantly by African-Americans for a good deal of its history. Indeed, African-American musicians and critics have often claimed the form as their own, part of their people’s struggle to assert their humanity in the face of a racialised structure of power which would deny it.
CFP – IASPM Australia/New ZealandPopular music is a dynamic cultural force. The acts of listening, playing, dancing, composing and recording are undertaken in a constant state of flux, further complicated by flows of space and time. This conference invites papers that consider popular music as a powerful social agent.
CFP, Filigrane – Deleuze and MusicTo inaugurate its new format, the review Filigrane. Musique, esthétique, sciences, société is launching a call for papers about Deleuze, the philosopher who has influenced so many musicians and musicologists over the last thirty years.
