"This engaging and important book examines how political actors from Matteo Salvini to the Five Star Movement rely on common taste in music to generate feeling of national emotion. Researchers on populism should read this careful and fast paced analysis and learn that music is constitutive of politics that moves the people.” —Mabel Berezin, Distinguished Professor of Sociology and Director of the Institute for European Studies, Cornell University “This deeply researched and endlessly fascinating book tells of the complex relationship between populism and popular music in Italy. But it does more than this. It reveals how – in general – we might understand better the role of music in politics, and the role of politics in music.” —John Street, University of East Anglia This book launches a proposal: to fill some empirical and theoretical gaps that presently exists in populism studies by looking at the potential nexus between populist phenomena and popular culture. It provides a detailed account of the multiple mechanisms linking the production of pop music (as a form of popular culture) to the rise and reproduction of populism. The authors use a case study of Italy to interrogate these mechanisms because of its long-lasting populist phenomena and the contextual importance of pop music. The book’s mixed-methods strategy assesses three different aspects of the potential relationship between pop music and populist politics: the cultural opportunity structure generated and reproduced by the production of music, the strategies political actors use to exploit music for political purposes, and, crucially, the ways fans and ordinary citizens understand the relationship between pop music and politics, and subsequent debates and identities. Moving from the case study, the book in its last chapter offers a more general understanding of the associations between pop music and populism.

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.

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.
