From the 1920s on, popular music in Southeast Asia was a mass-audience phenomenon that drew new connections between indigenous musical styles and contemporary genres from elsewhere to create new, hybrid forms. This book presents a cultural history of modern Southeast Asia from the vantage point of popular music, considering not just singers and musicians but their fans as well, showing how the music was intrinsically bound up with modern life and the societal changes that came with it. Reaching new audiences across national borders, popular music of the period helped push social change, and at times served as a medium for expressions of social or political discontent.

"From Attali's 'cold social silence' to Baudrillard's hallucinatory reality, reproduced music has long been the target of critical attack. In Bytes and Backbeats, however, Steve Savage deploys an innovative combination of designed recording projects, ethnographic studies of contemporary music practice, and critical analysis to challenge many of these traditional attitudes about the creation and reception of music. Savage adopts the notion of 'repurposing' as central to understanding how every aspect of musical activity, from creation to reception, has been transformed, arguing that the tension within production between a naturalizing 'art' and a self-conscious 'artifice' reflects and feeds into our evolving notions of creativity, authenticity, and community. At the core of the book are three original audio projects, drawing from rock & roll, jazz, and traditional African music. Through these projects--and with the aid of newly imagined techniques of computer-based recording--Savage is able to target areas of contemporary practice that are particularly significant in the cultural evolution of the musical experience, from the perspective of composers, musicians, and listeners. Each audio project includes a studio study providing context for the social and cultural analysis that follows. This work stems from Savage's experience as a professional recording engineer and record producer."--Jacket.

Après les utopies fanées de la contre-culture et après les slogans brûlés des années punk, de quoi sont capables politiquement les musiques populaires au xxie siècle ? À rebours d'une pensée pessimiste ou nostalgique, cet ouvrage collectif entend démontrer la pertinence militante de ces musiques aujourd'hui, sans pour autant embrasser naïvement une tradition qui ne les considérerait que sous le jour glorieux de leur affiliation à de grands mouvements politiques. Les scènes musicales du xxie siècle déploient des pratiques organisationnelles et des répertoires tactiques originaux, capables de donner un souffle particulier à l'action politique. Les innombrables collaborations et médiations qui président à leur production et à leur réception, la malléabilité de leurs formes - et même l'opprobre dont elles peuvent encore être frappées - sont le terreau d'une praxis à la fois culturelle, sociale et affective. Les huit études de cas internationales rassemblées ici traitent, à partir d'horizons scientifiques divers, de différentes formes de mobilisation politique autour ou à l'aide des musiques populaires, en Europe, aux États-Unis, au Japon et en Iran : luttes syndicales de musiciens, organisation et politisation de scènes musicales locales dans un environnement globalisé, mobilisations sur le long terme et à l'occasion de mouvements sociaux. Penser les politiques des musiques populaires, c'est reconnaître d'abord la puissance des activités souterraines d'association et de partage qu'elles nourrissent, pour mettre au jour les chemins d'émancipation qui mènent de l'activité populaire ordinaire à l'engagement politique militant.

This book traces a rebellious spirit in post-civil rights Black music by focusing on a range of offbeat, eccentric, queer, or slippery performances by leading musicians influenced by the cultural changes brought about by the civil rights, Black nationalist, feminist, and LGBTQ movements, who through reinvention created a repertoire of performances that have left a lasting mark on popular music. The book's readings of performers including Michael Jackson, Grace Jones, Stevie Wonder, Eartha Kitt, and Meshell Ndegeocello demonstrate how embodied sound and performance became a means for creativity, transgression, and social critique, a way to reclaim imaginative and corporeal freedom from the social death of slavery and its legacy of racism, to engender new sexualities and desires, to escape the sometimes constrictive codes of respectability and uplift from within the Black community, and to make space for new futures for their listeners. The book's perspective on music as a form of Black corporeality and identity, creativity, and political engagement will appeal to those in African American studies, popular music studies, queer theory, and Black performance studies; general readers will welcome its engaging, accessible, and sometimes playful writing style, including elements of memoir.

For several centuries Cape Town has accommodated a great variety of musical genres which have usually been associated with specific population groups living in and around the city. Musical styles and genres produced in Cape Town have therefore been assigned an ìidentityî which is first and foremost social. This volume tries to question the relationship established between musical styles and genres, and social ñ in this case pseudo-racial ñ identities. In Sounding the Cape, Denis-Constant Martin recomposes and examines through the theoretical prism of creolisation the history of music in Cape T

Trouble Songs is a hybrid serial work that tracks the appearance of the word “trouble” in 20th- and 21st-century American music. It reads (and sings) songs and poems, with reference to cultural events ranging from the death of a pop singer to the growth of popular resistance movements. The trouble singer invokes the word “trouble” in place of actual trouble—the song is a spell that conjures trouble (from bad luck and disaffection to infidelity, impotence, destitution, and the specter of death) in a temporary form that can be dis-spelled, if only for the length of the song. Singer and song also open a critical space for making trouble, for stirring the heart and mind. This space is a disjunction in time (and a superimposition of events) where singer and listener collaborate on meaning (un/)making as they temporarily transform trouble.

Many critics have interpreted Bob Dylan's lyrics, especially those composed during the middle to late 1960s, in the contexts of their relation to American folk, blues, and rock 'n' roll precedents; their discographical details and concert performances; their social, political and cultural relevance; and/or their status for discussion as "poems." Dylan's Autobiography of a Vocation instead focuses on how all of Dylan's 1965-1967 songs manifest traces of his ongoing, internal "autobiography" in which he continually declares and questions his relation to a self-determined existential summons.
