Recenzje

Popular Musicology and Identity attests to Stan Hawkins's visionary approach in collaborating and bonding with today's and tomorrow's leading voices on matters popular. This volume is required reading for anyone interested in how gender, sexuality, class, and identity are expressed through - and manipulated by - popular music's tools, artists, and audiences.

Nina Eidsheim (UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music)

Over the last 25 years Stan Hawkins' subtly subversive musicology has revealed a rich new pop world of sexual show-offs and dandies. This collection of essays is an affectionate and instructive exploration of that world, a celebration of the fluidity of the borderlands between art and entertainment, surface and depth, truth and invention, and the look and the sound of music.

Simon Frith (University of Edinburgh)

From nineteenth-century British music hall through Nordic cool to cultural celebrity in Canada, this is a fitting tribute to Stan Hawkins's pioneering musicological imagination; linking pop sounds to the multiple identities and varied voices of its performers. It is a compelling compendium; evidence of Hawkins's major contribution to Northern European and Transatlantic music scholarship.
