URL: From g.stjohn at warpmail.net Sat Mar 7 01:08:29 2009 From: g.stjohn at warpmail.net (Graham St John) Date: Fri, 6 Mar 2009 18:08:29 -0600 Subject: [Dancecult-l] Dancecult: Journal of Electronic Dance Music Culture Message-ID: As most of you know, a new journal Dancecult: Journal of Electronic Dance Music Culture (DJEDMC) has officially opened and we are taking submissions for our first edition. Thanks to Eliot Bates (Managing Editor), the website now has a new look: http://www.dancecult.net/journal/index.php/journal/index This email features some reminders about the journal and some updates on submission categories. Dancecult is a peer-reviewed, open-access e-journal for the study of electronic dance music culture (EDMC). A platform for interdisciplinary scholarship on the shifting terrain of EDMCs worldwide, the journal houses research exploring the sites, technologies, sounds and cultures of electronic music in historical and contemporary perspectives. Playing host to studies of emergent forms of electronic music production, performance, distribution, and reception, as a portal for cutting-edge research on the relation between bodies, technologies, and cyberspace, as a medium through which the cultural politics of dance is critically investigated, and as a venue for innovative multimedia projects, Dancecult is the forum for research on EDMCs. From dancehall to raving, club cultures to sound systems, disco to techno, breakbeat to psytrance, hip hop to dub-step, IDM to noisecore, nortec to bloghouse, global EDMCs are a shifting spectrum of scenes, genres, and aesthetics. What is the role of ethnicity, gender, sexuality, class, religion and spirituality in these formations? How have technologies, mind alterants, and popular culture conditioned this proliferation, and how has electronic music filtered into cinema, literature and everyday life? How does existing critical theory enable understanding of EDMCs, and how might the latter challenge the assumptions of our inherited heuristics? What is the role of the DJ in diverse genres, scenes, subcultures, and/or neotribes? As the journal of the international EDMC research network, Dancecult welcomes submissions from scholars addressing these and related inquiries across all disciplines. We are aiming at a first edition in July 2009. Dancecult features two main categories of peer-reviewed submissions: regular featured articles and "from the floor" pieces. Featured Articles are 5000-8000 words in length (including endnotes, captions and bibliography), and must include a 150 word abstract. These articles will be subject to a double-blind peer review. From the Floor (FF) articles include field reports, mini-ethnographies, and interviews. Pieces for this section should be from 1000-3000 words in length. Rather than written in the style of an article with formal analysis and many citations, FF pieces will be more conversational and creative. They may include substantive multimedia components. The emphasis is on ethnography, style and creativity. These articles will be reviewed by at least one peer. The submission process is automated - authors must register and submit online: http://www.dancecult.net/journal/index.php/journal/information/authors Book Reviews. If you are publishing a book (or releasing a film/documentary) on electronic dance music culture, Dancecult will be an ideal venue to have it reviewed. Karenza Moore from Lancaster University is our Reviews Editor. Please send books (or films) to Karenza at: Karenza Moore Dept of Applied Social Science Bowland North Lancaster University Bailrigg Lancaster LA1 4YT Questions regarding submission process. Please direct questions to our Managing Editor, Eliot Bates: oudplayer at musiq.com Dancecult has an international advisory board of over 20 members: http://www.dancecult.net/journal/index.php/journal/about/displayMembership/3 Thanks to our sponsor (so far): the Centre for Cultural Studies Research at the University of East London.

What is the value of this concept? Does it still usefully describe the context from which dynamic new beat musics emerge? Can the conditions of creativity in the 1990s be replicated in the era of web 2.0? Should we even want them to be?

I am currently completing my research project on the media's representation of the Victorian Dance Music scene, with a focus on ecstasy use (due to be completed on June 2009). I am interested in pursuing further postgraduate study overseas in research on the dance music scene and would like to know which universities in the UK and EU offer such opportunities. I've been an avid follower of this online mailing group and have found it to be a great source of information. Thanks to everyone who uses it! I'd appreciate any advice so look forward to hearing from you soon.
