International Association for the Study of Popular Music
Toruń, Poland - ONLINE

The main objective of the conference is to exchange the experiences of studying popular music regional scenes. Such panorama tends to functionally and structurally reflect the specific and diversified character of cultural regionalism itself, including music and its social functions. We shall examine local popular music scenes in three varied but overlapping perspectives located mainly in the fields of musicology, sociology, anthropology, literary studies, cultural studies, political science, but we do not limit the academic areas of research. Thus, the experts of the enumerated fields covering the research on popular music are welcome.
Abstracts of approximately 500 words should be emailed to: iaspm2020torun@gmail.com
Deadline for abstracts: June 15, 2021
Notification: July 1, 2021
