Popular Music Themed Event?
Jan 30 2010, 10:02 AM EST | Post edited: Jan 30 2010, 10:02 AM EST
Hi Folks
Firstly, I'd like to extend a warm thank you to Candy Yates and Galit Ferguson for a thoroughly enjoyable MIW Symposium at the Psychosocial Studies Network Conference (28th/29th January). I have yet to attend my first MIW event, and am very much looking forward to meeting more of you at the next one!
In my (extra-curricular) capacity as a musician, I think it would be a great idea to organise a future event based around the role of music in the media/popular culture with discussions, perhaps, to involve thoughts about the psychosocial dynamics of performance and/or audience interaction/response?
I'd very much like to chat with any interested parties, so please do feel free to contact me here or, alternatively, by email at JonesR54@Cardiff.ac.uk.

Cheers!
Rachel

Think that would be very interesting... not a musician.. but all popular culture manifests socia representations orl concerns. Currently fascinated by Alicia Keys new one Empire State of Mind (clue being in the title I guess!?!)... a lovely song but still exampling the American dream... a utopian vision in dystopia.. or a schozoid divisionism that allows for dreams to flourish in a land of self induced nightmares!?!? Do you find this valuable?
