CFP MUSIC MEDIEVALISM IN POPULAR CULTURE (9/1/2023; ICMS in Kalamazoo May 9–11, 2024)

MUSIC MEDIEVALISM IN POPULAR CULTURE (virtual) at ICMS in Kalamazoo (May 9–11, 2024)

Sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of Scholarship and Teaching of the Medieval in Popular Culture

Jonathan Le Cocq (forthcoming, 2024) defines music medievalism as either the influence of the medieval on later music, or the impact on medieval music (real or imagined) on any later cultural practice. In popular culture, we can find both the music that has been influenced by the actual medieval one and music influenced by some folk music imagined as medieval. Medievalist music such as pagan folk music (Troyer in: Meyer and Yri, 2020) can be used in various media and there are various genres of it. Some music videos can be an example of the cultural practice that is influenced by the imaginary medieval music. Medievalist video games also contain “medievalized” music. Please consider such topics and similar ones:

• medievalist music as background
• medievalist music and similar videos
• medievalist music/folk music as medievalist

Please send your abstract to: annaczarnowus@tlen.pl by September 1, 2023, but an official proposal can only be made and accepted through (https://icms.confex.com/icms/2024/cfp.cgi).
