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 at liv.ac.uk. General queries should be directed to Janet
Storey at jastorey at liverpool.ac.uk.

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