"Journal of South Asian Popular Culture

3rd International Conference

The journal of South Asian Popular Culture (SAPC) conference will be hosted at the University of Manchester at the Martin Harris Centre for Music and Drama.

SAPC's 3rd meeting brings together interdisciplinary contributions from across the different subject disciplines in the arts, humanities and social sciences to engage with notions of popular culture. 'South Asian popular culture' is defined in a broad and inclusive way to incorporate lived and textual cultures, the mass and new media, different ways of life, and discursive modes of representation. Central to the formation of popular cultures are articulations of the economic, social and political spheres and the conference will also aim to highlight these issues.

SAPC's 3rd conference will consist of papers from across all areas of South Asian popular culture, both in the subcontinent and from around the world. Contributions have been accepted from academics, postgraduate students, and from cultural practitioners (film-, radio-, television-, and web media-makers, artists, arts personnel, cultural activists, theatre practitoners, fashion designers, and sexuality campaigners).
