PoP Moves, an international network of popular dance researchers, invites proposals for a Special Topics Issue of The Journal of Popular Culture on the topic of mediating popular dance histories. For well over a century, popular dance has been present across changing media technologies: from printed instruction manuals in magazines and newspapers to radio, film, and television to digital platforms and social media, dancing has circulated between different bodies, cultural communities, and across geographical and social boundaries.

Adaptation, widely regarded outside the academy as a conservative practice, has been compared to biological evolution by Gary R. Bortolotti, Linda Hutcheon, and Brian Boyd. Although the evolutionary model embraced by these scholars sets itself against reviewers who continue to judge new adaptations as more or less successful copies of familiar texts, it still emphasizes continuity rather than disruption as the rule for textual and cultural adaptation.

In the four hundred years since its invention in Renaissance Florence, opera has become synonymous with the grandiose, the excessive, and the melodramatic, yet it has only gained a foothold in the academy as an object of serious academic study within the past fifty years. Since then, however, an abundance of scholarship has yielded everything from formal musicological readings of operatic works to theoretical inquiries inspired by psychoanalysis into voice and performance. And topics like the relationship between opera and sovereignty in seventeenth century Italy and the appropriation of Wagner by the Third Reich underscore how opera has never been far from the political sphere in the Western world.
