Posted: May 25th, 2019 | Filed under: Calls for Papers | Comments Off on Diva: Hip-Hop, Feminism, Fierceness
The shift from the margins to the mainstream has occurred simultaneously, over the last few decades, for two groups that now jointly exert a central influence over contemporary culture and politics: female r’n’b and hip-hop artists, and feminist thinkers and activists. The coming together of these two groups and sensibilities has redefined contemporary popular music (in all senses of musics of black origin), and wider culture and politics, in the West – from the banlieues to the White House, from Black Lives Matter to #MeToo, from Betty Davis to Neneh Cherry, TLC to Aaliyah, Alicia Keys to Iggy Azalea, Beyonce to Ariana Grande, and all points in between.

Posted: May 13th, 2019 | Filed under: Calls for Papers | Comments Off on Anyone can do it: Noise, Punk, and the Ethics/Politics of Transgression
The Punk Scholars Network’s 6th International Conference and Postgraduate Symposium
16th and 17th December 2019, Newcastle University
For the PSN’s 6thannual conference, the main theme is ‘noise’ and the question whether ‘anyone can do it’. Noise has a distinct place in punk (and in many post-punk musics), where it is often understood as a positive value. Indeed, today many (in the UK at least) will speak of ‘the noise scene’ as something like a genre in itself.

Posted: May 3rd, 2019 | Filed under: Calls for Papers | Comments Off on 21st Century Music Practice series of Elements by Cambridge University Press
Announcing the launch of the 21st Century Music Practice series of Elements by Cambridge University Press.
Elements are a new publishing format that CUP are promoting that consists of a 20,000 word text – somewhere in between a standard journal article and a book – and which can also involve extensive multi-media content. The series has developed out of the 21st Century Music Practice Research Network which currently has around 250 members in 30 countries and is dedicated to the study of what Christopher Small termed Musicking – the process of making and sharing music rather than the output itself. Obviously this exists at the intersection of ethnomusicology, performance studies, and practice pedagogy / practice-led-research in composition, performance, recording, production, musical theatre, music for screen and other forms of multi-media musicking. The generic nature of the term ‘21st Century Music Practice’ reflects the aim of the series to bring together all forms of music into a larger discussion of current practice and to provide a platform for research about any musical tradition or style. It embraces everything from hip hop to historically informed performance and K-Pop to Inuk Throat Singing.

What has gone with the wind… Over the rainbow?
(About music and memory)
September 25-27, 2019, Sao Paulo, Brazil
In 1939, 80 years ago, the world has been thrilled by the premiere of two cinematographic works: Gone with the wind and The Wizard of Oz. The memorable films, in addition to the direction of Victor Flemming, share another important participation: that of the composer Max Steiner, either in the writing of the soundtrack or in the arrangement of songs. Both the theme of Tara and Over the Rainbow still remain as classics of the repertoire of contemporary artists, occupying the sound landscape and memorial of generation to generation.

Posted: April 28th, 2019 | Filed under: Calls for Papers | Comments Off on 2019 Annual Meeting of the New Zealand Musicological Society: ‘Musical Intersections’
29 November to 1 December, 2019
University of Auckland, New Zealand
As the field of musicology has expanded and developed over recent decades, the notion of intersection between musical texts, methodologies, historical periods, genres, and styles has become increasingly important. Musicologists are not content to examine only one event or text at a given time, but rather we search for new ways to explore music across a wide variety of contexts, exploring how differences come together to provide deeper explanations of our musical activities. This conference examines the various ways musicologists carry out this intersectional work in the plenitude of sites that are the focus of our explorations.

Sixth Sibelius Academy Symposium on Music History
Wednesday 3 June—Friday 5 June, 2020
Sibelius Academy, University of the Arts Helsinki, Finland
Deadline for submissions: September 30, 2019
The Fifth Symposium took institutionalisation as its theme in order to contribute to and clarify the ways in which they exert power, the relationships between then, and the hierarchies they establish. In the final plenary session, delegates debated a range of topics that might be given further consideration in the next symposium. The discussion largely focussed on two areas of interest – heritage and networks – and both were considered important current areas of work with which the next symposium could engage. It has been decided that the sixth symposium should concentrate on networks and music, while the seventh would focus on questions of heritage.
