<p class="MsoNormal"><b>CFP: The impact of COVID on popular music history and heritage<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As the impact of the COIVD crisis continues to be felt across the world, it is becoming increasingly apparent that it represents a significant rupture in how music will be experienced, written about and theorised. This special edition of
<i>Popular Music History </i>is seeking quick-response contributions of up to 5000 words that explore what COVID will mean for how we write about, research, collect and exhibit popular music’s past. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0cm" type="disc">
<li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
Historicising COVID: how the dramatic break caused by COVID has given ways of engaging with music that were taken for granted only months ago a sense of ‘pastness’ and what this means for how we write about them<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">

Methods of documentation of the many online activities that artists have turned to as live gigs have become difficult or impossible, and how a historical understandings of ephemerality and liveness may be affected by new modes of performance necessitated by
COVID<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
Ways in which, rather than a significant break from the past, the impact of COVID on music might be part of an ongoing sense of ‘crisis’ in the music industries, and how the historical responses to various crises might inform what happens in the current circumstances<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
Considerations of how music heritage tourism will be impacted, and how practices in this area might be reconfigured<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
