Music, Space And Place

Description

"Music, Space and Place examines the urban and rural spaces in which music is experienced, produced and consumed. The editors of this collection have brought together perspectives by international researchers and scholars working in the field of popular music studies. Underpinning all of the contributions is the recognition that musical processes take place within a particular space and place, and are shaped both by the pressures and dynamics of political and economic circumstances." "Underlying Music, Space and Place is the question of how the disciplines informing popular music studies - sociology, musicology, cultural studies, media studies and feminism - have developed within a changing intellectual climate. The book therefore covers a wide range of subject matter in relation to space and place, including community and identity, gender, race, vernaculars, power, performance and production."--Jacket.

First Sentence

Whether they look for remembrance or forgetting, individuals and societies always build a continuity into which they can inscribe themselves, especially when this continuity has been rendered difficult by a historical or geographical rupture, as it has for people said to be 'in diaspora': for them, history is no longer a continuous flow expressed by an uninterrupted transmission, but it becomes a time broken into before and after; and familiar places, in which history is spontaneously rooted, are not inhabited day after day, but are replaced by an imaginary 'elsewhere' that dwells in memory.
