They publish Volume! the French Journal of Popular Music Studies, book collections ("Musique et Société", "Musique et environnement professionnel"), and participate in several activities promoting their field of study in France.

Publications

Book collections

The Éditions Mélanie Seteun started their activities by creating the "Music et Société" collection of books dealing with popular music, as well as one others (politics with the "Rock & Politics" collection, and more recently, popular music and institutions with the "Musique et Environnement professionnel" collection).

The founders, Gérôme Guibert and Samuel Étienne, founded Volume! in 2002 with Marie-Pierre Bonniol, to create an academic space for popular music studies. The journal has published, as of 2017, 29 issues, on themes such as countercultures, black music, postcolonialism, the alternative music press.

Volume! has been online since 2013, on French-speaking portals Revues.org and Cairn.info, as well as on RILM Abstracts with Full Text[3] since 2016.
