<p><strong>STATEMENT:</strong></p>
<p>We are pleased to announce the 3rd Inter-Asia Popular Music Studies (IAPMS) Conference, which will take place on July 13-15, 2012 in Taipei, in collaboration with the Department of Psychology at Fu Jen Catholic University and the Graduate Institute of Mass Communication at National Taiwan Normal University. Following the first conference in Osaka in 2008 and the second conference in Hong Kong in 2010, we move our next meeting to Taipei—hub of vibrant indie music scenes and Mandarin pop music industries.</p>
<p>The studies on Asian popular music are still in its embryonic stage. There is neither a university program in Asia devoted to popular music studies nor a journal dedicated to the exploration of Asian popular music. What we have now is an online-based, transnational research portal that began in 2007, the Inter-Asia Popular Music Studies Group, plus a rapidly expanding research network that at the moment includes 80 scholars not only in Asia but also in Europe, America and Oceania. The organization is young and enthusiastic about the rising academic interest in Asian popular music both inside and outside Asia. There is a growing feeling that Asian popular music has not received sufficient attention from international popular music studies and that the existing paradigms of popular music studies may not be adequate in understanding the culture, economies, and histories of Asian popular music. The IAPMS biennial conference is meant to foster scholarly conversations surrounding the emerging field of Inter-Asia popular music studies.</p>
<p><strong>CONFERENCE THEME</strong><strong>:</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">WAYS OF LISTENING: </span></strong><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">How do we listen to pop music in/from Asia, and how can we talk about it?</span></strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Pop music lovers, makers, and critics take the activity of listening to music for granted. Yet it is not always easy to express our/my listening experiences to others. It is even more challenging to elaborate the social and cultural implications of the differing responses.</p>
<p>Can the question, “how do we listen to pop music” prompt interest in the “ways of listening”?</p>
<p>For example, who is listening to Asian pop music? What constitutes pop music listening? Where does music-listening take place? What activities and connections accompany the act of listening? How is everyday life organized through music listening? What personal, social, affective, and technological experiments have seeped through pop music listening? How do the recording and consumer’s technologies affect the ways of listening in contemporary and historical Asian contexts? Do musicians and critics listen to music and do they do music differently from “ordinary” music fans? Can music listening be creative practices? How are the ways of listening linked to various moments and results of production? How have listening and interpretive practices transformed Asian pop music as social distinction, identity markers, professional knowledge, genres, businesses, and markets?</p>
<p>We invite paper proposals that will investigate, elaborate, contextualize, and historicize the experiences of listening to (Asian) pop music globally and/or in Asia. We welcome papers that address moments that open up to expression and conversation about how people engage pop music. Since this could be a task beyond the measure of words, we invite you to turn the thematic question around with an attitude, such as, “Hey! This is how “we/I/they” <span style="text-decoration: underline">action</span> Asian pop music!”</p>
<p>We welcome both individual paper and panel proposals under the umbrella theme. In addition, we welcome individual and panel proposals for the following panel themes geared toward publication projects:</p>
<p>­-Current issues in Asian popular music studies</p>
<p>-Research methodologies for the studies of Asian popular music</p>
<p>-Pop music, cultural variability and globalization</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline">M.A. and Ph.D. students: IAPMS</span><span style="text-decoration: underline">∙2012∙Taipei features</span><span style="text-decoration: underline"> a postgraduate day! Please consider submitting </span><span style="text-decoration: underline">a proposal!</span></p>
<p><strong>HOW TO SUBMIT PROPOSALS:</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p>The organizers of <strong>IAPMS</strong><strong>∙2012∙Taipei</strong> would like to invite interested participants to send your abstracts of no more than 250 words to <a href="mailto:iapms2012taipei@gmail.com">iapms2012taipei@gmail.com</a> before January 31, 2012.</p>
<p>We welcome individual and panel proposals from scholars, students, and industry practitioners. Please include the following information when submitting an individual or panel proposal:</p>

<p>Department of Psychology, Fu Jen Catholic University</p>
<p>Graduate Institute of Mass Communication, National Taiwan Normal University</p>
<p><strong>STATEMENT:</strong></p>
<p>We are pleased to announce the 3rd Inter-Asia Popular Music Studies (IAPMS) Conference, which will take place on July 13-15, 2012 in Taipei, in collaboration with the Department of Psychology at Fu Jen Catholic University and the Graduate Institute of Mass Communication at National Taiwan Normal University. Following the first conference in Osaka in 2008 and the second conference in Hong Kong in 2010, we move our next meeting to Taipei—hub of vibrant indie music scenes and Mandarin pop music industries.</p>
<p>The studies on Asian popular music are still in its embryonic stage. There is neither a university program in Asia devoted to popular music studies nor a journal dedicated to the exploration of Asian popular music. What we have now is an online-based, transnational research portal that began in 2007, the Inter-Asia Popular Music Studies Group, plus a rapidly expanding research network that at the moment includes 80 scholars not only in Asia but also in Europe, America and Oceania. The organization is young and enthusiastic about the rising academic interest in Asian popular music both inside and outside Asia. There is a growing feeling that Asian popular music has not received sufficient attention from international popular music studies and that the existing paradigms of popular music studies may not be adequate in understanding the culture, economies, and histories of Asian popular music. The IAPMS biennial conference is meant to foster scholarly conversations surrounding the emerging field of Inter-Asia popular music studies.</p>
<p><strong>CONFERENCE THEME</strong><strong> (</strong><strong>IAPMS</strong><strong>∙2012∙Taipei):</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">WAYS OF LISTENING: </span></strong><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">How do we listen to pop music in/from Asia, and how can we talk about it?</span></strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Pop music lovers, makers, and critics take the activity of listening to music for granted. Yet it is not always easy to express our/my listening experiences to others. It is even more challenging to elaborate the social and cultural implications of the differing responses.</p>
<p>Can the question, “how do we listen to pop music” prompt interest in the “ways of listening”?</p>
<p>For example, who is listening to Asian pop music? What constitutes pop music listening? Where does music-listening take place? What activities and connections accompany the act of listening? How is everyday life organized through music listening? What personal, social, affective, and technological experiments have seeped through pop music listening? How do the recording and consumer’s technologies affect the ways of listening in contemporary and historical Asian contexts? Do musicians and critics listen to music and do they do music differently from “ordinary” music fans? Can music listening be creative practices? How are the ways of listening linked to various moments and results of production? How have listening and interpretive practices transformed Asian pop music as social distinction, identity markers, professional knowledge, genres, businesses, and markets?</p>
<p>We invite paper proposals that will investigate, elaborate, contextualize, and historicize the experiences of listening to (Asian) pop music globally and/or in Asia. We welcome papers that address moments that open up to expression and conversation about how people engage pop music. Since this could be a task beyond the measure of words, we invite you to turn the thematic question around with an attitude, such as, “Hey! This is how “we/I/they” <span style="text-decoration: underline">action</span> Asian pop music!”</p>
<p>We welcome both individual paper and panel proposals under the umbrella theme. In addition, we welcome individual and panel proposals for the following panel themes geared toward publication projects:</p>
<p>­-Current issues in Asian popular music studies</p>
<p>-Research methodologies for the studies of Asian popular music</p>
<p>-Pop music, cultural variability and globalization</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline">M.A. and Ph.D. students: IAPMS</span><span style="text-decoration: underline">∙2012∙Taipei features</span><span style="text-decoration: underline"> a postgraduate day! Please consider submitting </span><span style="text-decoration: underline">a proposal!</span></p>
<p><strong>HOW TO SUBMIT PROPOSALS:</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p>The organizers of <strong>IAPMS</strong><strong>∙2012∙Taipei</strong> would like to invite interested participants to send your abstracts of no more than 250 words to <a href="mailto:iapms2012taipei@gmail.com">iapms2012taipei@gmail.com</a> before January 31, 2012.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What do university teachers need to know besides teaching, researching, grant writing, and organizing conferences? How about throwing good socials? To make a good social, you will most definitely need help from enthusiastic and talented young people<strong>.</strong></p>
<p>On October 29, 2010, students from the Graduate Institute of Mass Communication at National Taiwan Normal University (NTNU) took over the terrace just outside the entrance of the College of Education Building. With posters, flyers, candles, and projected video on the wall, they made a cozy nook for the Happy Hour social following the conference, &#8220;Becoming Mobilized and Networked! Technology, Gender, and Inter-Asia Popular Culture in the South.&#8221;</p>
<p>In the corner, a medium-built, bespectacled young man in a blue “N.Y.C.” sweatshirt was connecting a laptop, a digital mixer, speakers and cables. Meet DJ Miracle (Yen Cheng-ling), the sonic man awaiting to transform the brief dusk-hour social as soon as the last session let out. A recent graduate who wrote a M.A thesis on the use and invention of “Asianized” sounds by Taiwanese electronic music producers, he first revealed his specialized interest in a required course. A bedroom DJ for years, he said he was coming out that day.</p>
<p>A week after the conference, I met with DJ Miracle at a café near the university. Listening (again) to his set, entitled “Trajectory 8,” we talked about his debut experience and the work behind his set.</p>
<p><strong>Note: It&#8217;s taken me a while to do this piece. And I learned a lot about what my student can do and how they listen to pop music! Some of you were there (e.g., Tunghung, Ubonrat, Viriya, Hyunjoon). Perhaps the piece can serve as a memento.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>K-pop popularity in Thailand seems still so high. On the 13th Nov, 2010, there was a concert &#8220;Mnet Ultimate Live in Thailand&#8221; which was held in Impact Arena, one of the biggest concert hall in the country. However, the organizer claimed that it is the first K-pop concert festival in Thailand but actually it consists of only 4 bands in the same/Brother Company, JYPE and Cube Entertainment. Anyway, two of them are in the top level of industries both in South Korea and internationally, Wonder Girls and 2PM and the other two that also has many fans here, Beast and 4 minutes. That cause about 10, 000 fans both Thai and from Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam or even Korea gathered in this concert. And the language barrier is not a problem for their fans to sing along with their favorite artists.</p>
