Call for Papers - Popular Music and Society
For a Special Issue on MUSIC AND VIOLENCE
Popular Music and Society invites papers for a special themed issue on the
connection between music, sound, and violence.
Although that connection is as ancient as music itself, the development of
technologized sound has increased the range and magnitude of acoustic
assault since the nineteenth century. The highest-profile links have been
the use of music for purposes of torture, humiliation, harassment, coercion,
and punishment, from Sudan to the US invasion of Iraq and the internment
camp at Guantánamo Bay. However, the link is also pervasive in the everyday
life of modern conurbations. In addition to direct engagement with music and
violence, contributors might also wish to consider larger social policy and
censorship implications.
Submit Your Paper
In the first instance, we invite proposals of up to 500 words.
The deadline for submission of proposals is 31 May 2009.
We would hope to commission articles by the end of June 2009, and the
deadline for final submission of the articles will be the end of November 2009.
