Editorial Postscript

Peer-Reviewed Papers:

Emma Hooper: “Somewhere a Place for Us: How Intratextual Music-Association Conveys Characteral Identity in The Time of Our Singing by Richard Powers”

As of this issue, we have chosen to omit the “season” in the issue title. We have done this because the label has tended to blur the fact that there is an ongoing publication process of articles in an issue leading up to the initiation of the next issue. Besides, the season label makes less sense today than it did in the early days of JMM, considering that many of our readers now are from a different hemisphere than those of us on the editorial staff.

We are pleased to announce that the 10th issue of JMM: The Journal of Music and Meaning the website for JMM10, the publication of which began in July, 2011, has now been finalized, as of July 7, 2012.

This was the first issue to implement the previously announced ‘rolling publication’ policy: New entries have been added to the issue as they became ready for publication.

The website for the issue can still be found at jmm10.musicandmeaning.net. In addition to the blog-based format of the issue, a full PDF document of the issue can also be downloaded here.
