Dear John, I was wondering if you would be interested in having your session as part of the Media Geography sessions? All this means is that you would send all the information about the session to me for entry so that I can and it to the list of sessions so that all of them appear sequentially. You still pick who to list as organizer but it just puts your session in a broader group of those on media. I would love to include this as there will be other music sessions this year that we are organizing. Think about it and let me know your thoughts. Sincerely, Chris Lukinbeal APOLOGIES FOR CROSS-POSTING Call for Papers Geographies of Media Association of American Geographers Annual Meeting 2012 AAG Annual Meeting, New York, February 24th - 28th Last Day for Session Registration: September 28, 2011 Please note that sessions will likely fill earlier than the final deadline. Sponsored by Aether: The Journal of Media Geography We are seeking papers that examine geographies of cinema, television, music, art, advertising, the Internet, newspapers and magazines, video and animation etc. These sessions should include contributions to current issues surrounding these media, beginning with constructions of space & place, cultural, society, and identity. We are hoping to present a wide range of both topic and context and seek participants interested in the geographical implications - social, political, cultural, and economic - that are often contained within the spaces and places of different forms of media. Media extend beyond their original form and so papers should also envision these geographies as part of a broader industrial and political complex in which culture is an economic commodity set within the broader frame of a global and postmodern era, and with the links between these realms and our daily lived experiences, from our cities to streets to living rooms to imaginations. These contexts invite inquiries into the production, distribution, exhibition, and consumption of all types of media and we encourage critical, pedagogical and discursive contributions. We would also welcome inquiries from anyone wishing to assemble a special themed session or act as a discussant in a session. To present a paper you must do the following before September 28, 2011: 1. Compose an abstract following the AAG guidelines 2. Register online with the AAG to obtain a personal ID number 3. Email Presenter Identification Number (PIN) and abstract before October 28, 2011 to: Chris Lukinbeal ([log in to unmask]) For further information please contact: * Chris Lukinbeal * Jim Craine ([log in to unmask]) * Jason Dittmer ([log in to unmask]) -----Original Message----- From: A forum for critical and radical geographers [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of John Gold Sent: Wednesday, August 17, 2011 1:11 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Second CFP: AAG NYC 2012 'Folk Music Revival and the Cultural Agenda' Annual Meeting, Association of American Geographers 24-28 February 2012 New York City, NY Second Call for Papers FOLK MUSIC REVIVAL AND THE CULTURAL AGENDA; ANGLO-AMERICAN PERSPECTIVES FROM THE 1950S AND 1960s Organisers: John R. Gold, Oxford Brookes University ([log in to unmask]) and George Revill, Open University ([log in to unmask]) The 1950s and 1960s have gained a lasting reputation not just as a period of rapid change in society and the arts, but as one in which the arts participated in social change; reflecting and influencing the wider culture. In both the USA and UK, folk music revivals energised popular music, both through the propagation of so-called 'traditional' folk music and the development of new genres, such as folk rock. For a brief period, musicians identified with the folk revival enjoyed considerable commercial success, while inculcating the idea that music could be an important vehicle for change. Folk music, mediated through clubs and festivals, became central to protest movements and later contributed to the emergence of counterculture. This proposed session seeks papers that wish to explore the geographical implications - social, political, cultural, and economic - of the folk music revivals on both sides of the Atlantic. Areas of interest would include: * music and the nature of the folk * hearths of revival * mediating the folk * folk music, protest and confrontation * folk music and proto-environmentalism * folk music and the counterculture * folk music and the democratisation of the arts * the growth and experience of folk festivals Papers on other related topics are also welcome. Please contact John Gold ([log in to unmask]) or George Revill ([log in to unmask])if you are interested in giving a paper, preferably no later than the 26th of September 2011.
