Publications

The journal is a frequent partner of the French-speaking branch of the International Association for the Study of Popular Music (IASPM): it publishes the winner of the association's "young researcher" annual award.[29] It also published a special international, English edition of its "countercultures" issues with Ashgate Publishing,[30] a partnership with the Éditions Mélanie Seteun that had already taken place for the publication of the book Stereo: Comparative Perspectives on the Sociological Study of Popular Music in France and Britain.[31]

Conferences

It co-organized the conference "Heavy metal et sciences sociales : un état des lieux de la recherche francophone" in Angers (December 2014),[32] with many academic partners,[33] as well as the 2013 "Changing the Tune. Popular music and politics in the XXIst century" international conference in Strasbourg[34] with the German association ASPM and the French branch of the IASPM.[35] In November 2012, it participated in the conference on "Digital Publishing in the Humanities. Perspectives from France and Canada" organized by the French Consulate in Toronto, the French Institute, the University of Toronto, and York University.[36]

Events

It organizes events (conferences, concerts) with various institutions, such as the Musée du Quai Branly,[37] the Centre Georges Pompidou public library,[38] the Cité de la Musique,[39] La Gaîté Lyrique,[40] the Collège International de Philosophie,[41] or the Centre Musical Fleury Goutte d'Or-Barbara,[42] as well as with record labels/festivals, such as the festival "F.A.M.E. Film Music & Experience" in March 2014,[43][44] or in May 2012, the "Humanist Records Festival #3"[45] and venues, such as the Point Éphémère.[46]

The "Great Black Music"[47] exhibit at the Cité de la Musique[48] in Paris was co-curated by journalist Marc Benaïche and ethnomusicologist Emmanuel Parent.[49][50] The latter, a member of the journal's team since 2004,[51] had co-organized the 2010 "What is it we call Black Music?" (Peut-on parler de musique noire ?) conference in Bordeaux[52] whose proceedings were published in Volume! (n°8-1, 2011). He was also in charge of editing the exhibit's catalogue.[53]
