****************************************************** * http://www.anthropologymatters.com * * A postgraduate project comprising online journal, * * online discussions, teaching and research resources * * and international contacts directory. * ****************************************************** > Message Received: Sep 17 2006, 12:34 PM > From: "I D Biddle" <[log in to unmask]> > To: [log in to unmask] > Cc: > 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 in Anthropology. > > * * * * * * * * * * * * * > > 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. > > __________________________________________ > > Dr Ian Biddle > Head of the International Centre for Music Studies (ICMuS) > Director, CETL (Centre for Excellence in > Teaching and Learning) Inclusivity in Music > School of Arts and Cultures > University of Newcastle upon Tyne > tel: +191 222 8844 > fax: +191 222 5242 > http://www.ncl.ac.uk/music > http://www.ncl.ac.uk/sacs/POP > http://www.vamosfestival.com > http://www.ncl.ac.uk/niassh/popularmusics/ > > ¡VAMOS!
