SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS FOR THE IV CONFERENCE OF THE LATIN AMERICAN BRANCH
OF THE
INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE STUDY OF POPULAR MUSIC

With the aim of providing a space for the dissemination of research
which, from within different disciplines, investigates popular musics
in Latin America and the Caribbean, we invite your participation in
the IV Conference of the Latin American Branch of the International
Association for the Study of Popular Music (IASPM-LA), which will be
held in the National Centre for the Arts (CENART) in Mexico City from
the 2nd to the 5th of April 2002.

The conference will be structured around four panels based on broad
themes, and six workshops on more specialized areas. We are also
planning to organize round table discussions with the participation of
personalities from the world of Mexican poopular music practice.

The panels will be split into 20 minute papers followed by a
discussion open to the floor. The workshops will provide a space for
specialists to get together and reflect based on a group dynamic of
exchanging knowledge and experiences. Papers given in the workshops
may last up to 30 minutes.

PANELS

1. Popular music and the mass media
This panel will examine the phenomena of continuity and change in
popular culture as well as the paradigms and cultural models spread by
technology, the culture industry and forms of consumption.

2. Centre and periphery
This panel will examine the culture industry and the
political/economic uses of the discourses of popular musics. It will
deal with the spaces and transitions of those musics, examining
hybridty, mestizaje, transformations, extinctions, resurrections,
along with the phenomena of colonialism, neocolonialism, emancipation
and dependency.

3. Popular music and identity
This panel will examine the expression of the body, gender, age
insertion and their languages in popular music.  It is also pertinent
to consider the study of popular musics in relation to memory,
problems of patrimony, identity, revival, nostalgia and the
possibilities of remembering as a resource and as a business.

4.Methodological proposals.
A wide area covering the articulation of sepcific discourses and the
development of a willingness to experiment with a polyglot approach to
the study of popular musics. We hope for concrete contributions of
proposals for a way forward.

WORKSHOPS

1. Analysis in popular music
Debate around approaches, methodologies and concepts applicable to
musical, literay and performative analyses of popular music. We
recommend the presentation of theories and/or their application
through case studies.

2. Studies of musical consumption
We are interested in bringing together diverse research experiences in
relation to methodologies and techniques, consideration of the market
and the imaginaries of consumption with the aim of broadening
knowledge horizons in this field.

3. Latin American cumbia
The aim is to share academic experiences in relation to the extension
of cumbia to the majority of Latin American countries across
sociocultural groups in order to examine visions and methods to
discover differences and similarities.

4. Cartography of rock in Latin America
Comparative analysis of the practice of rock in Latin America taking
into account its specificities and variants according to common
parameters set out by chronological, morphological, aesthetic and
sociological criteria.

5. Popular music and education
We wish to explore the presence of popular music as a pedagogical base
within the university sector, its role in conservatories, in social
movements and informal pedagogy. We are also interested in musical
pedagogy as cultural politics and the interaction between erudite and
popular musics.

6. Popular music and social change
The aim is to stimulate reflection on the theme of change and social
conflict and its relation to songs with explicit or implicit political
connotations in order to pinpoint factors which can enrich and
illuminate critical debate within the social sciences and recent
history of Latin America.
