Subject: Journal announcement and call for submissions
Dear Colleagues
Please see announcement below. Although the journal is explicitly focussed
on the study of music, the editorial collective would welcome submissions on
any music-related topic from scholars working on the academic study of Cyber
Society.

Radical Musicology is a new online journal, produced in the International
Centre for Music Studies at the University of Newcastle (UK). The Editorial
Collective, based in Newcastle, is supported by an Editorial Board, made up
of internationally known scholars. The Co-ordinating Editor is Richard
Middleton. For full details, including more information about the journal
profile, please go to http://www.radical-musicology.org.uk
Why yet another new journal? Because, even with the growth in publication
opportunities in musicology, we believe there is still good work that
struggles to find an appropriate home without suffering damaging delays.
Why online? In order to make use of the many advantages internet
dissemination offers: speed of publication; low production costs; ease of
access; potential for dialogue; multi-media formats. The case is not just
pragmatic; we see it as part of our political agenda - democratisation.
Why 'radical'? Because, we feel, theoretically challenging work is still
under-represented in established journals, and the need to encourage such
work would benefit from the existence of a new point of focus. This is of
course a symptom of a broader situation where the innovations associated
with the 'new' and 'critical' musicologies of the 1990s have now to a
considerable extent been 'accommodated' (swallowed, diluted, smothered,
marginalised...) by conservative forces within the discipline; the time is
right for a renewed, progressive push. Beyond 'new', beyond 'critical' (but
incorporating the best insights of both) lies 'radical musicology'!
We invite submissions for Volume 1, which will be published between now and
the end of 2006, and for Volume 2, which will follow in 2007. All
submissions will be reviewed by at least one member of the Editorial
Collective and at least one member of the Editorial Board. Full guidelines
can be found on the website.
