Keep it Simple, Make it Fast! Underground Music Scenes and DiY Cultures is an International Congress wish promises to shake the city of Oporto from 8-11 of July this year.
Organized in the context of the investigation project “Keep it Simples, make it fast! Prolegomenons and punk scenes, a road to Portuguese contemporaneity (1977-2012)”, with the support of the Science and Technology Foundation (Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia), this congress, a pioneering attempt in Portugal, brings us some of the most important investigators who, througout the world, have worked in the fields of cultural urban music, youth cultures and contemporary artistic creation. Reputed specialists such as Andy Bennett, Augusto Santos Silva, Carles Feixa, George McKay, Nick Crossley, Will Straw and Paula Guerra, the Faculty’s sociologist in charge of the project, will be presente to reflect on these themes and promote debate.
The nearly 160 papers received, mostly from international authors, are organized in seven main fields of approach: 1) Music and DIY cultures: DIY or Die!; 2) Porto Calling: meanings, dynamics, artifacts and identities in today's punk scenes; 3) Music scenes, politics and ideology: social-historical memories and contemporary practices; 4) Contemporary underground cultures’ aesthetics: between the digital, the retro and the nostalgia; 5) Musical production, mediation, consumption and fruition in the contemporaneity; 6) Underground music scenes; 7) Local scenes, communities, identities and urban cultures.
The full programme and schedule can be consulted in http://kismif.eventqualia.net.
However, this Conference will be much more than an academic event!
In Casa da Música, in the Faculdade de Letras, in the Matéria Prima record shop or in Plano B, these four days will be filled with expositions, documentary screenings, Rise Up moments – in which the conference participants will have a chance at showing their work, by books, posters, discs or other – and much music, including nightlong performances, with concerts and DJ sets. Furthermore, to start these days in best shape, all participants will be invited for a “Punk Run”, a jog through the city of Oporto, showing our international guests it’s best features.
