Product Description
Product Description
A unique collection of new essays which make suggestions for the new directions for the study of contemporary popular musics. There is comparative analysis of the relationship between the state and the popular music industries.
From the Back Cover
Rock and Popular Music examines the relations between the policies and institutions which regulate contemporary popular music and the political debates, contradictions and struggles in which those musics are involved. International in its scope and conception, this innovative collection brings together contributions from some of the most authoritative writers on rock and popular music in North America, Europe and Australia. Ranging widely in both choice of topic and approach, the essays explore and develop three main areas of debate. First, comparative examinations of the role played by governments in either supporting or inhibiting the development of popular music industries reveals a significant diversity of relations between the state and the musical sphere. A second theme demonstrates the important role of broadcasting policies in organising the `audio-spaces' within which particular musical communities can be formed and seek expression. Finally, the book reconsiders some of the classic political issues of rock and popular music theory and debate in the context of their specific policy and institutional settings. Consisting entirely of new essays commissioned by the editors, Rock and Popular Music is a unique collection suggesting significant new directions for the study of contemporary popular musics. Tony Bennett is Professor of Cultural Studies at Griffith University. Simon Frith is Professor of English at Strathclyde University and co-Director of the John Logie Baird Centre. Lawrence Grossberg is a Professor of Speech Communication, and Criticism and Interpretative Theory at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. John Shepherd is Director of the School for Studies in Art and Culture at Carleton University. Graeme Turner teaches at the University of Queensland, Australia.
