*Call For Papers*
We are delighted to announce the call for papers for the 2012 annual
conference of IASPM-ANZ. This year, the conference will be organized by Dr
Michelle Phillipov, and held at the University of Tasmania. We are pleased
to stage our annual event in Hobart in keeping with the rotating conference
schedule of Australia and New Zealand locations.
Abstracts for paper presentations are now invited from researchers with an
interest in popular music, regardless of disciplinary orientation. All
papers detailing new and established research in the field will be
considered, though preference may be given to papers that demonstrate clear
engagement with the stated conference theme. Papers with a theoretical
orientation are particularly encouraged, as are submissions from
postgraduate students.

*Conference Title*
The concept of ‘*flow’* is essential for understanding the fluidity, flux
and diffusion of contemporary media and culture. *Flow* reveals the
complexities of contemporary cultural production, consumption and
participation. It also illuminates the ways in which ideas, information,
culture and technology are exchanged and imbued with meaning and power.
The concept of *flow* has been influential in the work of Appadurai (1990)
and Castells (1996), and in more recent writing on media and convergence
cultures. Questions of *musical* flow, however, remain an under-explored
area. This conference invites papers that consider the role of music in the
facilitation and disruption of media and cultural *flow*. In doing so, it
considers music as something that moves between, and within, different
spaces, places, texts, communities and technologies.

In particular, we seek papers addressing:
1.     the *flow* of popular music within and across different digital and
textual platforms,
 including film, television, journalism, and social media;
2.     the *flow* of popular music between different cultures and cultural
formations,
 such as the local, national, transnational and global;
3.     the *flow*/s of popular music studies,
its history and current practices within the academy, as well as its
disciplinary, theoretical and methodological futures;
4.     the *flow* of popular music studies outside of the academy,
in policy, journalism, and popular understandings of ‘music’;
5.     the construction and disruption of musical *flow*,
in musical composition, performance and other artistic arenas.
We also welcome abstracts considering any other area of popular music.
