SUMMARY:Annual General Members' Meeting and Panel: Mental Health and The Emotional Work of the Gig Economy
DESCRIPTION:3.30-5pm: Panel on Mental Health and The Emotional Work of the Gig Economy \nSpeakers: \nSally-Anne Gross and Dr George Musgrave (University of Westminster): Can Music Make You Sick? \n\nIn recent years there has been a growing body of research that has begun to examine the dark side of our relationship to music. The media understandably concentrate on the more sensational aspects of rock and roll; membership of ‘27 Club’\, or the recent public declaration of critically acclaimed dubstep producer Benga as suffering from schizophrenia (Hutchinson\, 2015). There is then a tension emerging between the notion that artistry is positive both for the economy and for well-being\, and a growing awareness that a musical career is a risky business.\n‘Can Music Make You Sick?’ surveyed over 2\,200 musicians working in the United Kingdom\, and interviewed more than 25 musicians and industry professionals\, to explore how they are emotionally experiencing working in the music industry in the United Kingdom. This paper presents findings from this project\, which seeks to ask challenging questions of music\, and specifically musical ambition and aspirations\, in the current climate of precarious labour and hyper competition. Is it possible that musical aspirations are potentially making artists sick?\n\nJack Newsinger (University of Nottingham): Resilience in austerity cultural policy and practice \nResilience is a key theme in austerity Britain\, prominent across government policy\, popular discourses\, business and management thinking and academia. This paper is about the deployment of the concept of resilience in cultural policy and practice. It is based on an extensive engagement with literature\, an analysis of cultural policy discourse\, and qualitative data drawn from 23 in-depth interviews with freelance cultural practitioners. I adapt Robin James’s (2015) concept of resilience to show how arts leaders and practitioners generate performative narratives that seek to publicly represent their capacity to adapt to austerity\, and we explore the different versions of resilience thinking that these narratives mobilise. I argue that resilience in cultural policy and practice draws upon psychological conceptions of resilience which unwittingly produces a discursive surplus which becomes reinvested in institutions\, providing subsequent justification for the processes of post-crisis austerity itself.\n\n5-6pm: Annual General Meeting (for APS members)\n \n6pm: Drinks (open to all) \n  \nFree registration: \nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/association-for-psychosocial-studies-agm-event-mental-health-and-the-emotional-work-of-the-gig-tickets-52064771132?utm_term=eventname_text

SUMMARY:Annual Conference: ‘Psychosocial Reflections on a Half Century of Cultural Revolution’
DESCRIPTION:Venue:\n\nUniversity of Bournemouth\n\nDate: \n\n5th-7th April 2018\n\n\nCall for papers\n\nDeadline: 22nd January 2018\nSend your abstract of 250–300 words to: APS2018@bournemouth.ac.uk\n\n*Due to popular demand\, we have added a new open stream for those who wish to submit proposals for papers\, panels or artistic presentations on:\n“Current and Future Directions in Psychosocial Studies”\n\n‘Psychosocial Reflections on a Half Century of Cultural Revolution’\n  \nJoin us to reflect on revolutionary relationships and revolutionary politics which challenged authority then and which influence us now. \nThe cultural forces and the political movements of 1967 and 1968 aimed to change the world\, and did so. Recent development of some populist and protest politics could be seen as a continuation of the revolutionary movements in the 1960s. Hedonistic themes that recall the summer of love suffuse contemporary life\, and self-reflection and emotional literacy have also become prominent values\, linked towards human diversity and the international community. \nWe invite you to offer psychosocial analyses of the development and legacy today of the ‘revolutions’ in love\, sex and politics. This could be via explorations of contemporary issues in politics\, culture and artistic expression\, or through historical studies. All proposals for papers must indicate how they address both psychological and social dimensions of their topic. \n  \n\n  \nSend your abstract of 250-300 words to APS2018@bournemouth.ac.uk \nDeadline: 22nd January 2018. \n(Existing submissions\, notified by 1st November). \n  \nSend your abstract of 250-300 words to: APS2018@bournemouth.ac.uk \n  \nTopics could include: \n\nWhat happened to hate in the Summer of Love?\nLennon vs Lenin: did 1967 and 1968 announce two divergent trends in contemporary culture\, and what has happened since to the psychosocial forces they expressed?\nWhat are the meanings of ‘liberation’ today?\nNew inequalities in post-industrial societies\nThe resurgence of religion\nThe Six Day War\, intifadas\, and intractability\nThe planetary environment: fantasies and politics\nTrajectories of feminism\nThe changing nature of ageing\n‘The personal is political’ and other rhetoric in historical context\nFree minds and free markets\nThe ethics of freedom: for example\, where now for freedom of speech?\nFrom the Manson Family to the Islamic State\nPop music’s global conquest and musical hybridity\nChanges in artistic practice\, creativity and commodification\nThe transformation of media\nThe digitisation of everything\nHigher education: democratisation and marketisation\nThe potential and limitations of theories of narcissism as a major tool for understanding late modern/postmodern cultures\nNew narcissisms in the 21st century\nTherapeutic culture and its critics\nWhere are they now? Biographical narratives of the revolutionaries\nStates of mind in pivotal moments: San Francisco 67\, Paris 68\, and since\nThe sense of entitlement: narcissism or social justice?\nThe decline of deference and its consequences\nThe hatred of government and authority\nThe sexualisation of culture\nControlled decontrolling or repressive desublimation?
