Building on the rich dialogue and breadth of expertise that informed the 2007 and 2008 Popular Dance and Music Matters Symposia, we are pleased to launch our third international symposium.
For this forthcoming symposium we have decided to concentrate presentations around four broad themes that speak to key issues and debates raised at the two previous symposia:
- Re-imagining popular forms in their local and global circulation
- Mediations of the popular through new and extant technologies
- Spectacle and performativity in expressions of the popular
- Revisiting methodology through the dance-music interface
The symposium seeks to produce interactions between scholars and practitioners engaged in examining the practices and products of popular dance and music. In addition to those researching within the fields of dance studies and popular music, we welcome scholars from other disciplinary areas such as sociology, cultural studies, social history and media studies.
