Megan Lavengood commented on the doc Working Draft — Proposed Bylaws in the group
Society for Music Theory – Popular Music Interest Group on Humanities Commons 6 years, 8 months agoThanks to both of you for getting this important conversation started. It would certainly be worthwhile to explicitly discuss what our purpose is at the next meeting, and update both our mission statement and purpose statement, and I’ll add that to the agenda along with these suggestions.

Ciro Scotto commented on the doc Working Draft — Proposed Bylaws in the group
Society for Music Theory – Popular Music Interest Group via email on Humanities Commons 6 years, 8 months agoHi All,
I agree with Trevor, and John has been making this point at the meetings for the last few years, that our “mission” has actually changed (and I won’t qualify this with somewhat) since the PMIG. Here are points that I believe are from the mission statement:
• Ensuring academic recognition for popular music research
• Encouragi…[Read more] -
Trevor deClercq commented on the doc Working Draft — Proposed Bylaws in the group
Society for Music Theory – Popular Music Interest Group on Humanities Commons 6 years, 8 months agoOh, OK. I didn’t know we had a “mission statement.” I think our “mission” has actually changed somewhat since the PMIG was founded, since popular music is now more of an established research area than it was years ago. Anyway, I think your addition of a fourth point would be sufficient, Megan. Thanks!

John Michael McCluskey deposited “Rough! Tough! Real Stuff!”: Music, Militarism, and Masculinity in American College Football in the group
Music and Sound on Humanities Commons 6 years, 8 months agoRobert Kennedy proclaimed, “Except for war, there is nothing in American life which trains a boy better for life than football.” While the sport’s governing bodies are presently distancing themselves from violent connections—altering rules in order to make the game safer for players—football culture remains firmly connected with militaris…[Read more]

Megan Lavengood commented on the doc Working Draft — Proposed Bylaws in the group
Society for Music Theory – Popular Music Interest Group on Humanities Commons 6 years, 8 months agoGood points here. The “purpose” was basically copy-pasted from our “mission statement” on the SMT website. We could make something pedagogy-oriented a fourth element in the article. Perhaps: “(4) to model and advocate for popular repertoire in music theory pedagogy”?

Megan Lavengood commented on the doc Working Draft — Proposed Bylaws in the group
Society for Music Theory – Popular Music Interest Group on Humanities Commons 6 years, 8 months agoThank you for your thoughts, Mitch!
1a—I’m fine with putting that in this draft. I don’t see any reason why people would oppose it being more inclusive. I think we should discuss that (along with the 3-year terms) at the meeting explicitly, though.
1b—I left them out just in case we want to add another award someday, so we don’t have to ame…[Read more] -
Trevor deClercq commented on the doc Working Draft — Proposed Bylaws in the group
Society for Music Theory – Popular Music Interest Group on Humanities Commons 6 years, 8 months agoWell done, Megan. I think this is great.
I agree with Mitch that the window for awards should be 3 years. Based on when an article is published and when the PMIG meets, the 2-year window might effectively be only a single chance to submit.
My only other suggested change is to add (or change) something in “Article II: Purpose” to more…[Read more]

Mitchell Ohriner commented on the doc Working Draft — Proposed Bylaws in the group
Society for Music Theory – Popular Music Interest Group on Humanities Commons 6 years, 8 months agoGreat work on this, Megan! Some points for consideration:
1. Awards.
a. The term on SMT awards is 3 years, as opposed to the 2 here. As a subfield, I can easily imagine a banner year producing multiple works we’d want to recognize and the 3 year window would allow for that. Of course, it would also increase the workload of the committee but I…[Read more] -
Megan Lavengood started the topic proposed bylaws in the discussion
Society for Music Theory – Popular Music Interest Group on Humanities Commons 6 years, 8 months agoHello! At our next meeting, I would like to vote in some bylaws. While bylaws are not at present common in the SMT Interest Groups, I think it may be the right time for our group, for a few reasons:
- I am proposing a change to term length and the number of officers.
- Our group regularly gives awards, and the process for administration of the…

Virginia Anderson deposited ‘Aspects of British Experimental Music as a Separate Art-Music Culture’ in the group
Music and Sound on Humanities Commons 6 years, 9 months agoThis thesis examines the relationship of the ‘approved’ avant-garde culture to the ‘outsider’ culture of experimentalism. This relationship exhibits some parallels to the idea of cultural hegemony articulated by Edward Said in Orientalism and is informed by four basic aesthetic principles. These principles can be found in the work of Corneli…[Read more]
