Opis

Relocating Popular Music uses the lenses of colonialism and tourism to analyse various types of movements of popular music, such as transporting music from one place or historical period to another, hybridising it with a different style and furnishing it with a new meaning. This accessible and jargon-free collection discusses music in relation to music video, film, graphic arts, fashion and architecture, while covering a wide variety of phenomena from all over the world. It includes, the changing role of rock music in Serbia after the Balkan wars, the function of Abbey Road Studios in music tourism in England, the relation between minimalist techno and classical minimalism, and transforming the meaning of Detroit in Eminem's music videos. The authors argue that popular music is by its nature 'unpure', and studying it means studying its relocations.

Recenzje

"This collection of articles captures some of the multiple, complex and intricate ways through which the movement of contemporary musical sounds, styles and genres across the globe has an immense impact on notions of identity and their sense of place. Merging theoretical insights and original case studies, the book is a highly welcomed addition to the growing literature on popular music and space, and especially on the ways popular music ushers in aesthetic cosmopolitanism." - Motti Regev, The Open University of Israel, Israel

"Music's apparently increasing freedom from particular places in the Internet era has been accompanied, ironically, by a growth in studies on music's continuing connections to place. Among such studies, this book makes a unique contribution by showing how the 'relocating' of popular music can make its relationship to places all the more significant and multi-faceted." - Andrew Killick, University of Sheffield, UK

"Relocating Popular Music, a lively and timely contribution to music studies, makes a clear case that we really should be paying more attention to how music, as it is made, transmitted and consumed, plays an important role in power struggles about the meanings of space." - David Machin, Örebro University, Sweden
