Third Annual Symposium

_Cultural Values and Cultural Capital of Pop Music in Asia_

The 3rd Annual Symposium is interested in questions of cultural value and
cultural capital in relation to popular music in the Asian region.  Some
of the key areas of inquiry and debate that we consider significant
include issues such as copyright, intellectual property rights, and market
trends; culturally specific practices surrounding pop music;
trans-national cultural and capital flows; cultural formations in relation
to tradition, appropriation, and innovation in pop music; the relation
between communication technologies, geographic boundaries of the
nation-state, and audience constituencies for pop music in a global arena;
relations between pop music and gender, race, and class.

This Symposium will run in Perth for two days in late September, 1997.  We
expect to schedule 45 minute papers (including questions) from
approximately twelve speakers.  We also intend to organise a performance
evening.

Expressions of interest should be sent by 17 March 1997.
