| Abstract |
This volume brings together classic texts and essential new writings on popular music. It places popular music in its cultural context, looks at the significance of popular music in our everyday lives and examines the global nature of the music industry. The book maps the changing nature of popular music over the last decade and considers how popular music studies has expanded and developed to deal with these changes. Articles discuss the increasing participation of women in the industry and the changing role of gender and sexuality in popular music, the role of new technologies, especially in production and distribution, and the changing nature of the relationship between music production and consumption. The book is divided into parts, each with an introduction by the editors. |
