  • Special Issue: Aging, Time, and Popular Music

    21-03-2022

    This themed issue of IASPM Journal seeks to explore what aging might be/mean for popular music studies. Aging has not been addressed much across popular music studies, although significant contributions have emerged in relation to aging audiences (Bennett and Hodkinson 2012; Bennett 2013), nostalgia and revival (Driessen 2019), memory and music (Grenier and Valois-Nadeau 2020; Cohen, Grenier and Jennings 2022), the aging and ‘late’ voice (Elliott 2015, 2019), heritage culture (Roberts and Cohen 2014), and feminist interventions on representation across popular music (Gardner and Jennings 2020; Gardner 2020). We encourage contributions that speak to aging fans and fandoms, representation, performance and production from popular music studies, musicology, sociology, cultural studies, queer theory and, of course, from aging studies.

  • Practice Based Research

    06-07-2021
    Special Issue Editors: Laura Jordán González, Simon Zagorski-Thomas, Anthony Kwame Harrison, and Mary Fogarty IASPM Journal is the peer-reviewed open-access e-journal of the International Association for the Study of Popular Music (IASPM). As part of an international network, the journal aims to publish research and analysis in the field of popular music studies at both global and local levels. The 21st century has seen a huge rise in practical and vocational courses in popular music, which is yet to be matched by a similar increase in research into and about practice. Philip Ewell’s plenary talk on ‘Music Theory’s White Racial Frame’ at the 2019 SMT conference made the point that it was not enough to look at a more culturally diverse range of repertoire through conventional theoretical lenses. It is also necessary to develop theory which goes beyond the practices and values of Western Art Music. Similar conceptual breadth should be applied to existing theories of performance, songwriting, the business of music and the uses of technology. This themed issue of the IASPM journal seeks to explore this practical turn in popular music studies through the aesthetics, the pragmatics and the politics of ‘doing’ popular music. Proposals might include, but are not limited to: • Music theory and pedagogy in popular music(s) • Judgments of value or quality in popular music practice • Movement, dance and the presentation of the persona • Theorising virtuosity • Using (and being used by) technology • How can and/or should music make money? • Theorising creativity • Power and influence in popular music practices • Modes of communicating popular music scholarship To be considered for this Special Issue, please submit the following by September 1, 2021: ● an abstract of 150-250 words (plus references, if necessary) ● author name(s) ● institutional affiliations ● contact details ● a brief bio of no more than 150 words (which includes the author’s positionalities in relation to their topic) Submissions should be entered via this online form (https://forms.gle/ZitHPoQuyuKccExx5). If your abstract is accepted, we expect to receive the full article uploaded into the online submission by June 1, 2022, at https://iaspmjournal.net/index.php/IASPM_Journal/about The issue will be published in early 2023.

  • Dance and Protest (2022)

    06-12-2020
    Special Issue Editors: Serouj Aprahamian, Shamell Bell, Rachael Gunn, and MiRi Park The recent succession of protests and uprisings following the murder of George Floyd at the hands of (now former) Minneapolis police officers overwhelmingly included dance as a protest tactic. While dancers have long engaged in cultural acts of resistance, this iteration in the #blacklivesmatter movement stemmed directly from the efforts of dancers/activists who participated in the protests following the deaths of Trayvon Martin, Ezell Ford, and Michael Brown. Dancer/activist/scholar/mother Shamell Bell deemed "Street Dance Activism" as a protest tool to celebrate Black Joy in the face of Black death, and renowned dance scholar Brenda Dixon-Gottschild has noted how such actions have gained increasing visibility over the last decade. Internationally, we have also seen the rise of dance actions such as the Māori haka performed in honor of and in solidarity with the victims of the Aotearoa/New Zealand mosque attacks, traditional Kurdish folk forms performed in protest over Turkish cultural repression, Chilean flash mobs mobilized against patriarchy and sexual violence, and the return of Hong Kong’s pro-democracy umbrella movement as a massive choreography of protest. Whether evoking emotions of pain and frustration or joy and exaltation, such displays link people together in a common cause, and draw attention to global struggles for political and social change. What’s more, the soundtrack of the protests, such as folk songs, African drumming, chants, anthems, and popular music, situates these actions within larger histories of rebellion and resistance. This Special Issue of the IASPM Journal aims to gather a broad range of scholarly and artistic perspectives on the topic of dance and protest, and the ways in which they interrelate, overlap, intertwine, and bolster political expression. We invite submissions that assess dance in relation to historical movements for social justice and grapple with questions related to how dance and music amplify each other within the framework of protests. We invite case studies that examine how dance is used at protests to enhance a political message, facilitate a call to action, unite people in solidarity, as well as examples of viral dances used for political means. We are interested in how protests themselves can be examined as a form of performance, and the potential limitations of performance as protest, especially when not linked to organized struggle. We encourage submissions on Indigenous experiences with dance, as well as the appropriation and commercialization of political dance and music. Submissions may consider, but are not limited to, any of the following topics: ● The interrelationship between dance, music, and protest ● Case studies of dance and protests (including TikTok / viral dances) ● Dance as a call to action ● Indigenous dance and activism ● Protests as performance ● The policing of the dancing body ● The commercialization and appropriation of dance and cultural activism More than a call for papers, however, this Special Issue is a CALL TO ACTION! As such, we invite two types of submissions: 1) Full articles, 2) Statements/Actions. 1) Full articles These submissions will be between 6,000-8,000 words and subject to double-blind peer review. We encourage practice-based and practice-led research submissions. 2) Statements/Actions These submissions are by scholars and/or practitioners (industry, education, administration, policymakers, etc.) about their dance/music activism experiences in the form of text (max. 2,000 words), audio (max. 12 minutes), or video (max. 8 minutes). The statements/actions will be subject to editorial review. ● This is a call to action, so if you would like your submission to be a part of a video collage of all submissions, please indicate this in your application. To be clear, we will select, subject to review, 1-3 video statements to be featured in full. To be considered for this Special Issue, please submit the following by February 15, 2021: ● an abstract of 150-250 words (plus references, if necessary) ● author name(s) ● institutional affiliations ● contact details ● a brief bio of no more than 150 words (which includes the author’s positionalities in relation to their topic) Submissions should be entered via this google form: https://forms.gle/RpcCxjBfMsB5Z1Qq8. If your abstract is accepted, we expect to receive the full article or statement uploaded into the online submission by August 1, 2021, at https://iaspmjournal.net/index.php/IASPM_Journal/about The issue will be published in 2022.

  • Crises at Work: Potentials for Change? (2021)

    08-07-2020
    Special Issue Editors: Michael Ahlers and Jan Herbst This Special Issue is motivated by, but not limited to, the current processes and effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the global civic rights movement related to “Black Lives Matter”, which highlights systemic racism as an epidemic in many societies around the world. Only a selection of topics is shown here, which is also historically part of personal, systematic or infrastructural crises of popular music cultures. The Special Issue of the IASPM Journal aims to gather a broad range of scholarly and artistic perspectives on crises in popular music composition and production, labour, business, education, societies and cultures. We understand crises as possible blockades of creative processes, economic threats, excessive demands on people or systems, but also as an opportunity for change. These potentials lead, for example, to changed forms of appreciation and to a renewed consideration of ecological or ethical values or to the establishment of new networks and methods for creative projects and work. This issue is interested in, but not limited to, any of the following themes: - Global (in)equalities and discrimination (e.g. racism, access to high-speed internet, online censorship) - Creative crisis, resilience and wellbeing - Crises of labour and music business - Innovative approaches to dealing with restrictions and limitations - Adaptations and alternative forms of commercial music industries - Focusing after overload: technical, psychological, social, economic issues - Value and appreciation of music professions in times of crisis - Emerging networks, communities and collaboration (online and offline) - Material and non-material support - Moral and ethical aspects of change We are looking for both scholarly contributions and expressions of opinion or relevant artistic outputs from professionals. The Special Issue also aims to provide a global perspective on support structure and hence motivates popular music scholars to provide information on their regional specifics. This Special Issue contains two parts, 1) full articles, 2) statements. Re 1) Full articles will be between 6,000-8,000 words and subject to double-blind peer review. We encourage practice-based and practice-led research submissions. The audio or audio-visual components must not be copyright protected and must be accompanied by a written component of 3,000 to 4,000 words that clearly describes research questions or objectives, relevant literature, the creative process and conclusions. Re 2) Statements by scholars and practitioners (industry, education, administration, policy makers etc.) about their experiences of crisis in the form of text (max. 2,000 words), audio (max. 12 minutes) or video (max. 8 minutes). The statements will be subject to editorial review. Abstract/proposals for full articles and statements are due by 15 August 2020, with full submissions (if accepted) expected by 1 January 2021. To be considered for this Special Issue, please submit an abstract of 150-250 words (plus references, if necessary) by 15 August 2020; along with author name(s), institutional affiliations, contact details and a brief bio of no more than 150 words which includes the author’s positionalities in relation to their topic to: j.herbst@hud.ac.uk.

  • Popular Music, Decolonization and Indigenous Studies (2020)

    26-09-2019
    Special Issue Editors: Daniel Hernandez and Kirsten Zemke This Special Issue seeks to confront the Western tradition of academia, which has only been made possible through historic and ongoing processes and ideologies of colonialism. This includes the paradox that many academic scholars and institutions are housed on stolen lands. This Special Issue of IASPM Journal aims to contribute to an ongoing process of decolonization through the lens and practices of popular music by highlighting Indigenous academics, theorists and musical explorations. Indigeneity is a contested and negotiated term yet provides a geopolitical identity and relationship to colonial legacies and contemporary power relations that survive and are resilient, despite the initial and enduring encounters of violence, erasure, displacement, and occupation. This includes Indigenous peoples in settler colonial nation-states as well as those within systems of coloniality in non-settler nation-states. Historical processes have served as catalysts to subversive Indigenous responses, adoptions and adaptations of styles and instruments, as well as, the erasure of Indigenous contributions to popular music. This issue is interested in, but not limited to, any of the following themes: • Indigenous peoples’ relationship with popular music • Indigenous musicians in popular music • Indigenous issues represented and negotiated in popular music • Popular music, Indigenous organizing, and protection of sacred sites • Decolonial coalition-building between communities through music • Indigenous Futures, Self-determination and cultural sovereignty • Indigenous cosmologies, instruments, and styles in popular music • Queer, Anti-colonial, Anti-capitalist Indigenous identities • Indigenous activism, sounds, and stories We would like this Issue to reflect a global spread and diversity. We are looking for articles that represent Indigenous popular music and issues on Turtle Island (North America), Oceania, Abya Yala (Central and South America), Africa, Asia, and wherever an Indigenous subject in popular music exists.
