This is a general call for contributions to Dancecult: Journal of
Electronic Dance Music Culture. Entering a new era with a new and
expanded editorial and production team, Dancecult is extending its
deadline on submissions for its next edition.
New deadline - December 20, 2010.
As the issue is hosting a special section on The Love Parade,
submissions on this theme will be welcome, in both From the Floor and
Feature article categories.
Also, we will host material in the next and future editions on the
theme of Bad EDM: from disco to rave, electro to terrorcore,
psytrance to minimal techno, e-tards to psychedelic bogans, and from
"commercial" sounds to "cheesy" vibes, the identification of EDM and
its cultures and subcultures as "bad", "other", "noisy", etc, is ever
present in modes of (micro)distinction and identification by non-EDM
and EDM enthusiasts alike. Critical examination of these trends
offers insight on central issues concerning genre formation,
"subcultural capital", the abject, popular and alternative music, as
well as nationalist, class, race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality and
age issues. Dancecult welcomes contributions which address this theme
across all genres, scenes and aesthetics.
Additionally, while contributions are welcome on any topic related to
the study of electronic dance music cultures, submissions on the
following themes are also welcome for this and near future editions:
dance floors and embodiment; cosmopolitanism and EDM; the
cartographies of EDM; Detroit techno; sampling and exotification.
Featured Articles:
Featured articles are 5000-8000 words (including endnotes, captions
and bibliography). Must include a 150 word abstract.
From the Floor
"From the floor" hosts shorter peer-reviewed pieces. These include
field reports, mini-ethnographies, and interviews. Pieces for this
section should be from 1500-3000 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.
