CFP : Special issue of Dancecult: Journal of Electronic Dance Music Culture

SPECIAL ISSUE OF DANCECULT: JOURNAL OF ELECTRONIC DANCE MUSIC CULTURE
TITLE: PRODUCING EDM
GUEST EDITOR: DR ELIOT BATES (UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND, COLLEGE PARK)
DEADLINE: 1 MAY 2010
CALL FOR PAPERS

The third issue of Dancecult, the open-access peer-reviewed journal on electronic dance music cultures, will focus on producers and the production of electronic dance music.

Producers and production is broadly conceived to include:
--The production/creation/composition of dance music in recording studios
--Visuals production (e.g. VJing, liquid lights)
--The development, use, and transformations of technologies, musical instruments, software, interfaces, and computer hardware related to dance music and visuals production
--Event production and organization

A constellation of theoretical questions motivate the production of the present volume:
What is production, and how does electronic dance music production relate to creative work and production in other musical styles and cultural contexts?
Revisiting Negus and DuGay's expression "cultures of production / production of culture," what exactly is produced in EDM production?
Also, what are the cultures of EDM production?
To what extent are emergent genres fruitfully analyzed as a product of changing sociotechnological systems?
How are different forms of virtuality (virtual communities, online distribution, social media) affecting the situatedness of production?

We encourage the submission of articles that deal with topics of production in geographically and/or generically diverse milieus. In addition to feature articles and interviews, we encourage submissions of shorter, deeply ethnographic works with a strong multimedia component to the From the Floor section. These could include, for example, a studio production ethnography, a study of the organization of a single event, or a focused analysis of an online community of EDM producers.

Besides this special issue, we also welcome submissions of articles related to any aspect of electronic dance music cultures.

About Dancecult:
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.

CFP: International Journal of Performance Arts and Digital Media (journal)

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PERFORMANCE ARTS AND DIGITAL MEDIA
DANCING ACROSS FILM, TELEVISION AND THE DIGITAL SCREEN
CALL FOR PAPERS

The contemporary visual landscape is littered with images of performing bodies located in multiple screen contexts, from dedicated art dance film festivals through to prime time reality television shows. The potential for dance to achieve n-screen viewing figures scarcely imaginable in comparison to theatre dance audiences is evidenced by the YouTube clip, Evolution of Dance, a whirlwind demonstration of popular dance through the decades, which received 76.7 million hits. This special edition of the International Journal of Performance Arts and Digital Media explores both contemporary and historical enquiry into the production and reception of performing bodies across the film, television and digital screen. Possible questions that might inform this critical discourse regarding screen dance research are:

* What is the relationship between economics and screen dance production and how does the performing body operate as a vehicle of commercialisation and promotion within these sites?

* To what extent is screen dance shaped by the politics and policy of commissioning editors and executive producers and what relationship do guerrilla filmmakers have to this official framework of production?

* How do the multiple contexts for screen performance inform the aesthetics of dance on screen and how do they create different spectatorship experiences?

* What is the impact of new and extant film-making technologies on the performing body and how has this changed understandings of dance-making?

* How is dance mediated and re-presented in order to achieve popular appeal and in what ways does this reproduce or challenge cultural assumptions about dance?

* Given the global circulation of screen dance images, how are these representations understood within localised contexts of reception?

IJPADM is an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal drawing contributions from a wide range of researchers and practitioners who are placed at the rapidly developing interface of new technologies with performance arts. Given the interdisciplinary nature of screen dance practice, proposals are invited from artists, scholars and professionals working across the fields of dance and performance studies, film, television and media studies, cultural studies, history and other related disciplines.

All papers must be submitted by 1st July 2009
Intended publication date: December 2009.

Details for submissions and notes for contributors can be found at:
http://www.intellectbooks.co.uk/journals.php?issn=14794713

All papers are to be submitted to Dr Sherril Dodds, Guest Editor.
Dr Sherril Dodds, Department of Dance, Film and Theatre Studies, University of Surrey, Guildford, Surrey, GU2 7XH (s.dodds@surrey.ac.uk)

General enquiries can be addressed to Dave Collins, Editor.

CFP: International Journal of Performance Arts and Digital Media (journal)

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PERFORMANCE ARTS AND DIGITAL MEDIA
ALTERNATIVE MATERIALITIES: SCENOGRAPHY IN DIGITAL PERFORMANCE
CALL FOR PAPERS

The International Journal of Performance Arts and Digital Media (IJPADM) is seeking contributions to a special issue that will engage specifically scenographic thinking about technologies in performance.

Taking scenography to mean the materiality of performance – the sum total of the performance space, scenery, costume, lighting, sound, video, and so on – we want to address scenography and its associated practices in relation to digital media. The widespread adoption of digital media across the field of performance arts has proposed alternative materialities that have sometimes radically disrupted existing scenographic practices, and sometimes perpetuated established practices through new means. New possibilities have brought new ways of thinking and doing, and new goals.

Previous scholarly accounts of these developments have only occasionally acknowledged scenographic practices as such, so we want now to engage specifically with digital media from a scenographic perspective, including their use as scenographic materials and the challenge that they have presented to the working practices of (amongst others) set, costume, lighting, sound and video designers. The Scenography special edition aims to generate ‘scenographic thinking’ by taking the physical materials of performance, and the performance-makers who manipulate them, as a starting point in approaching the use of digital media in live performance.

IJPADM is an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal drawing contributions from a wide range of researchers and practitioners who are placed at the rapidly developing interface of new technologies with performance arts. Within the journal’s overall remit and the above agenda, themes for contributions to the Scenography special edition might include, but are not limited to:

*Specific uses of digital media in performance scenography
*The impact of new media on traditional scenographic practices
*Changing ways of working and collaborating
*The intersection between ‘mainstream’ and ‘avant-garde’ scenographic practices
*The relationship between the academy and professional scenographic practice
*The scenographic as a critical ‘point of view’ from which to observe digital performance
*Digital media and the scenographic as a mode of enquiry into performance
*Digital tools in the scenographer’s process.

All papers must be submitted by 1st November 2009.

Intended publication date: April/May 2010.

Details for submissions and notes for contributors can be found at:
http://www.intellectbooks.co.uk/journals.php?issn=14794713
