Call for Papers

Keynote speaker: Professor Allan Moore (Surrey, UK)

In association with the University of Liverpool School of Music, the 
Society for Music Analysis presents the 2007 Autumn Study Day devoted to 
exploring the relationship between analytical methodology and the 
interpretation of
popular music.

The acceptance of "popular music" as a viable subject of academic study 
and the reconfiguring of "analysis" as incorporating more than 
traditional formalist concerns are two of the most significant 
developments in musicology over the last decade. One common goal has 
been to seek out a productive synthesis between contextual interpretive 
and formal analytical approaches. Popular music provides a particularly 
relevant context in which to do this.

Proposals are welcomed on any area relating to the analysis of popular 
music, although those in the following areas are particularly welcome:

i.) Analysing popular music in multi-media or performance contexts (which
might include music-video, TV, internet sites or live performance)

ii.) Analysing popular music as mediating or encoding identity

Proposals for papers of 20 minutes duration, in the form of an abstract 
of 200 words, should be sent to Dr Giles Hooper, School of Music, 
University of Liverpool, 80 Bedford Street South, Liverpool L69 7WW, or 
preferably by
email to gchooper em liv.ac.uk <mailto:gchooper em liv.ac.uk>. General queries 
should be directed to Janet Storey at jastorey at liverpool.ac.uk 
<http://liverpool.ac.uk>.

DEADLINE FOR RECEIPT OF PROPOSALS: 6 July 2007. All those submitting 
proposals will be notified by 7 August 2007.
