this is mine. i’d recommend listening and reading at the same time, since sometimes there’s different information on the slides and the audio. also, on one of my clips, i couldn't figure out how to turn the sound off, so there's some lulz.

Maybe next time it will all be sweetness and light, with a holographic Jeff Bezos pointing out the walkways around his domain.

Theme Get Ur Freak On: Music, Weirdness, and Transgressions Exploding conventions has long put the bomp in pop: the uncontainable desire of those deemed sexually unnatural, racial impostors, gender outlaws, obsessed fans, willful bohemians, or just plain weird. “We feel perverse, using the word with no comprehension of the principle,” Edgar Allan Poe wrote in “The Imp of the Perverse.” Music often sanctions transgression, challenges or corrupts the status quo depending on your perspective, gives us Prince in one era (called Imp of the Perverse by a biographer), Miley Cyrus in another, an Iggy Pop then and an Iggy Azalea now. For this year’s Pop Conference, we seek presentations that connect music of any style or period to notions of transgression, perversion, and the weird, such as: histories of the strange from minstrelsy to cabaret, rock and roll to black metal, “Tutti Frutti” to “Super Freak” twistings of form—of the song, the voice, the genre, language; versioning and remixes; sonic markers of the polymorphous queer pop, gender subversion and the perverse diva transgression, social movements, and culture wars; the role of the state; drugs racialized notions of otherness, margins/difference as center, carnival exploitation–marketing “Blurred Lines,” the limits of dissolute star/fan behavior technology and the estrangement of the human in pop comparative cultural ethnographies of outrageousness fetishization of records, the past, the disease of collecting
