Book Synopsis EBOOK: Access All Eras: Tribute Bands and Global Pop Culture by : Shane Homan
Download or read book EBOOK: Access All Eras: Tribute Bands and Global Pop Culture written by Shane Homan and published by McGraw-Hill Education (UK). This book was released on 2006-09-16 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Björn Again to the Illegal Eagles, from Black Stabbath to the Essex Pistols and the Bootleg Beatles, tribute bands comprise a significant sector of many national music scenes. Access All Eras is the first book to examine the tribute and cover band phenomenon and its place within the global popular music industry. The ability of tributes to reinforce or challenge the very idea of stardom is explored through studies of imitations of various iconic pop and rock performers, including Elvis, the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, ABBA and the Beach Boys. Analysis of such tribute acts can tell us much about how the meanings of performers and performance circulate globally, and are resisted or accommodated by local music cultures in the commercialisation of live and recorded memories. The book also looks at music industry attitudes towards imitation, including copyright issues and the use of multimedia performance techniques to deliver the ‘authentic’ tribute experience. It offers an insight into how understandings of nostalgia and celebrity circulate within contemporary society and are connected with other media and leisure industries. Access All Eras is key reading for students in popular music, media studies, cultural studies, arts, music, sociology, performing arts and popular culture studies.

Book Synopsis Making Popular Music by : Jason Toynbee
Download or read book Making Popular Music written by Jason Toynbee and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-07-28 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *Nominated for the International Association for the Study of Popular Music Book Prize* Partly because they are the objects of such intense adulation by fans popular musicians remain strangely enigmatic figures, shrouded in mythology. This book looks beyond the myth and examines the diverse roles music makers have had to adopt in order to go about their work: designer, ventriloquist, star, delegate of the people. The musician is a divided subject and jack of all trades. However the story does not end here. Arguing against that strand in cultural studies which deconstructs all claims for authorship by the individual artist, Jason Toynbee suggests that creativity should be reconceived rather than abandoned. He argues that what is needed is a sense of 'the radius of creativity' within which musicians work, an approach that takes into account both the embedded collectivism of popular music practice and the institutional power of the music industries. Drawing on a wide range of theoretical positions, as well as examining musical texts from across the history of twentieth-century pop,this groundbreaking book develops a powerful case for the importance of production in contemporary culture. Students of cultural and media studies, music and the performing arts will find this book an invaluable resource.
Book Synopsis Politics and Popular Culture by : John Street
Download or read book Politics and Popular Culture written by John Street and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Politics and Popular Culture, John Street explores the debate about the political character of popular culture between those who see it as a form of manipulation and those who see it as populist self-expression. He argues that such approaches are limited and that we need to alter our perspective on the politics of popular culture. He does this by looking more closely at the ways in which the state organizes the production and consumption of popular culture, and at how political judgments are part of the creation and the pleasures of popular culture. This book will be invaluable for students in cultural studies, mass media studies, sociology and politics.

Book excerpt: Both the force and the limitations of the globalizing forces operating in the world today can best be understood through an analysis of their concrete manifestations. Using examples from the people's art of Potsdammer Platz to the ways in which Western cultural icons are reinterpreted in Asian magazines, this collection of essays unpicks the rhetoric of globalization in political analysis, cultural theory and urban and economic sociology and exposes the myth of the global society as in many cases a dangerous exaggeration.
