Subject: [IASPM-LIST] IASPM Canada - Conference Montreal, May 2002 (REMINDER)
[ Double-click this line for list subscription options ]
A reminder of the deadline for this CFP:
The Canadian Branch of the International Association for the Study of
Popular Music is soliciting papers for its annual conference:
SOUNDS OF THE CITY
May 10-12, 2002
McGill University, Montréal
Sound and the city are intimately linked. Certain sounds can be
definitive of city life. Whether it be the clichéd sound of a
saxophone emanating from a fire escape, the cacophony of car sound
systems providing the soundtrack to street cruising, an escape into
silent cafes, or the hypnotic pulse of dance clubs, the city is
charged with both noise and music.
For its 2002 conference, IASPM-Canada is seeking papers which explore
the complex relationship between the city and sounds of all kinds.
Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:
Street sounds - creating, regulating and containing noise in the streets
Dance music - the history of nightclubs
Reclaiming abandoned city spaces - nightclubs and architectural renewal
Escaping the suburbs - youth, music and city spaces
This is our space - music, memory and community in the city
Selling places - music festivals, civic belonging and cultural heritage
City sounds on screen - film soundtracks and city life
Abstracts should be no longer than 250 words and should be sent by
OCT. 15th, 2001, to:
Email: [log in to unmask]
FAX: (514) 398-7247
All conference participants are required to be members of IASPM.
