</p><p>The most pressing issue for humanity in the 21st century is
global climate, and thus IASPM’s 21st Conference turns its attention towards
this subject. Whereas our 20th anniversary conference considered where we have
been, we now ask where we are now, what we are doing as a species, and what
impact it has on our communities and our world. On a planet increasingly
interconnected by a dizzying array of media channels, such a discussion has to
be broadly framed. Our planet’s climate is impacted by numerous forms of human
activity, including those that are individual, personal, local, communal,
institutional, commercial, corporate, cultural, political, and international.
This conference invites presentations that ask how popular music relates to our
climate, where climate relates to any part of the totality of surrounding
conditions and circumstances affecting growth or development. By “climate,” we
intend to include a range of definitions, including ecological climate,
political climates, socio-political climates, and contextual and individuated
climates. We ask presenters to consider the impacts of activities related to
popular music and its cultures on variously defined climates, and the impacts
of changing or changed climates on different popular music and its contexts.  </p><p style="text-align:left;color:rgb(34,34,34);text-transform:none;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13.33px;font-variant:normal;word-spacing:0px;white-space:normal">

</p><p>To address these issues, as well as any other questions and
topics related to the past, present and future climates of popular music, the
International Association for the Study of Popular Music invites proposals for
the twenty-first IASPM biennial conference, to be held at Kyungpook National
University in Daegu, South Korea, July 6-10, 2021. The general theme of
conference is divided into five interrelated streams: </p><p style="text-align:left;color:rgb(34,34,34);text-transform:none;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13.33px;font-variant:normal;word-spacing:0px;white-space:normal">

</p><p>Popular music has long been associated with green agendas,
ecological concerns, and environmental activism, and this stream takes a more
literal interpretation of the conference title than others. It also implies a
link to ecological approaches that explore affordances as well as impacts,
including insights from fields such as eco-musicology, ethnomusicology, and
sound studies.</p><p style="text-align:left;color:rgb(34,34,34);text-transform:none;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13.33px;font-variant:normal;word-spacing:0px;white-space:normal">

</p><p>Political climates no doubt seem to be more complex than
those of the past to each generation. They have a direct influence on the
stability and sustainability of our cultures, and this relationship is often
reflected in our popular music. Political storms, quakes and disasters flow
from isolationism into global cooperation, between east and west and from south
to north. This stream will address local, national, and international politics,
as well as individuated socio-politics, as reflected through issues such as
identity, gender, class, sexuality, and belief, and seen and heard through
popular music.</p><p style="text-align:left;color:rgb(34,34,34);text-transform:none;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13.33px;font-variant:normal;word-spacing:0px;white-space:normal">

</p><p>When describing climates, we may use terms such as ambiance,
atmosphere, mood, or tone, to conceptualize the often unconscious perceptions
of space and place. Studies of space and place have emerged as a key
interdisciplinary subject across numerous fields and have crossed into popular
music studies through studies of geographies, locality, scenes and subcultures.
This stream invites explorations of receptions and perceptions, of audiences
and ethnographies, of set and settings of popular music.</p><p style="text-align:left;color:rgb(34,34,34);text-transform:none;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13.33px;font-variant:normal;word-spacing:0px;white-space:normal">

</p><p>Climate, however defined, is intimately associated with
questions that require a global approach. Although ‘world music’ has slowly
made peace with ethnomusicology and although both have made inroads into
popular music studies, they have not yet reached a truly global understanding
of popular music. Areas such as South East Asia, where this conference is to be
hosted, are having an increasing impact upon popular music, yet they are
significantly under-represented. This stream encourages contributions which
widen and deepen our global/local understanding of popular music and its
cultures, whether through a detailed study of a specific subculture or scene,
or by exploring changes in global popular music climates.</p><p style="text-align:left;color:rgb(34,34,34);text-transform:none;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13.33px;font-variant:normal;word-spacing:0px;white-space:normal">

</p><p>The modes and channels of mediation of music have evolved at

recorded, digital, and virtual transmission, into a multi-valent universe where
revivals of folk singing and vinyl clubs mix with digital music and streaming.
