Posted: February 4th, 2016 | Filed under: Calls for Papers | Comments Off on Future Sounds: Meaning and the Future of Popular Music
Coordinated by The School of Humanities and Social Sciences and the School of Film, Media and Performance
University of Central Lancashire: 16/17 May 2016
Changes to the landscape of how music is consumed, produced and maintains its social and cultural significance are subjects that present both fascination and challenge for scholars and practitioners alike. Where on the one hand predictive speculations about future trends in music are virtually impossible to foretell, creative engagement with music practitioners and industry have the potential to give critical voice to what may be expected, based on the current state of affairs in popular music.
Our aim is to bring some of these voices together for a dynamic discussion on the future of popular music from a range of disciplines in music studies, including musicology, composition, cultural theory, philosophy, media studies, sociology business and marketing studies amongst others.
