MUSICultures: Call for Papers

MUSICultures solicits articles for publication in a special issue on 
Music and Tourism, guest edited by Dr. Jessica Roda (with the Canada 
Research Chair in urban heritage, UQAM) and Dr. Monique Desroches 
(Université de Montréal). We also continue to solicit articles on any 
topic related to our mandate.

As argued by Dean MacCannell (1976), Nelson Graburn (2002) and Edward 
Bruner (2005), there is a need to go beyond the discourse of the 
"corrupting impact" of tourism (Demanget and Kervran 2010). This would 
allow for a better understanding of the complicity of power and the 
complex relationships at play between "the visitor and the visited," as 
well as contribute to an understanding of how culture can be mobilized, 
not only as an economic resource, but also as political, social and 
identity-based resources. This special issue will explore the processes 
and effects of the intersection between musical practices and tourism by 
examining, first and foremost, the music in question, as well as 
performers, audiences and settings. We invite proposals addressing 
various types of tourism - whether mass, cultural, roots, "dark," 
religious, alternative, rural or urban tourism - with the aim of digging 
deeper into tourism's juncture with music, in both local and global 
settings, including music exported to the international stage as part of 
festivals; in the context of sporting, political and commemorative 
events; in museums; or even in virtual spaces.

MUSICultures is the peer-reviewed journal of The Canadian Society for 
Traditional Music / La Société canadienne pour les traditions musicales. 
It is a refereed journal published twice a year under the auspices of 
the Society. Membership in CSTM is not a prerequisite for publication.

MUSICultures publishes original articles in English and French on a wide 
range of topics in ethnomusicology, traditional music research, and 
popular music studies. MUSICultures welcomes articles on music in 
Canadian contexts as well as scholarship on any relevant issues in 
relation to any music practices in the world or to global processes. The 
journal also publishes reviews of books, and sound and visual recordings.

Article proposals, consisting of a title and a 500-word abstract should 
be submitted in French or English by October 15, 2014. Complete articles 
will be due by January 15, 2015. Articles are normally in the range of 
6,000-7,500 words.
