Graham St John. 2008. "Uncertain Vibes: Tension, Contrast and Change in Electronic Dance Music Cultures." http://www.crossroads2008.org/v2/ShowCurrentApprovedPanels.php?AZxFgQwerjfjfjkkfSSJKFFJGJdkdjdhjdskshbskdjCfGdfdsdffFFGGdfkd
Description: call for abstracts in the following session at the July 3-7 2008 Crossroads in Cultural Studies conference in Kingston, Jamaica.
From house to techno, dubstep to psytrance, electronic dance music cultures (EDMC) are contexts for popular ekstasis and the carnivalesque flourishing in social dance movements possessing unprecedented popularity. With inheritance from Jamaican dancehall and sound system traditions, New York disco and house Dionysia, Detroit techno and Afrofuturism, UK rave and the "chemical generation", Goa trance and psychedelia, etc, EDMCs are sites humming with diverse social, stylistic, and technical influences. At the same time, EDMCs are highly contested, with adversaries committed to repressive policies and regulatory practices, or political mobilizations and adaptive moves to maintain the vibe. As a result of this traffic and buzz (including that generated by police helicopters), EDM genres are hives of contrast, tension, and indeterminacy. Are aesthetic contrasts and social contradictions resolved in the mix? What are the outcomes of tension between adversaries? Are new dance musics and youth cultures emerging from these dramas? If so, what do they look and sound like? Papers will address these and related themes.
The official deadline for abstracts (150 words max) is now Jan 1 2008. Please post proposals to Graham St John at g.stjohn@uq.edu.au by this date. |
