Call for Papers
"Are ye dancin’?" "Are ye askin’?" "Yes I’m askin’" "Then I’m dancin’".
The journal Popular Music proposes to publish a special issue on the
subject of
'Popular music and Dance'. It is anticipated that it will provide a forum
for reflection on a host of diverse questions and issues concerning the
close and complex interconnection between music and dance, whether inspired
by jitterbug or jive, foxtrot or flamenco, polka or waltz, morris or trance,
tango or thrash, salsa or line-dancing, rueda or casino, cueca or sardana
etc etc!! We would particularly like to encourage articles that relate
dance and popular music to the body, gender relations, technology and the
market,
and to welcome articles that adopt an interdisciplinary, comparative and
historical approach.
The editors invite contributions (5,000-8,000 words); or shorter
pieces (3,000 for the Middle Eight section) from any discipline.
In the first instance, we ask prospective contributors to send an
abstract of 200-300 words to both Sara Cohen ([log in to unmask]) and Jan
Fairley ([log in to unmask]) by the end of December 2003. Finished
articles should
be submitted by Autumn 2004. All submissions will be peer reviewed in the
normal way.
Popular Music is published by Cambridge University Press.
Address for abstracts and submissions:
