Popular music scholars have long been interested in the connection
between place and music. This collection brings together a number of
key scholars in order to introduce readers to concepts and theories used
to explore the relationships between place and music. An
interdisciplinary volume, drawing from sociology, geography,
ethnomusicology, media, cultural, and communication studies, this book
covers a wide-range of topics germane to the production and consumption
of place in popular music. Through considerations of changes in
technology and the mediascape that have shaped the experience of popular
music (vinyl, iPods, social media), the role of social difference and
how it shapes sociomusical encounters (queer spaces, gendered and
racialised spaces), as well as the construction and representations of
place (musical tourism, city branding, urban mythologies), this is an
up-to-the-moment overview of central discussions about place and music.
The contributors explore a range of contexts, moving from the studio to
the stage, the city to the suburb, the bedroom to festival, from
nightclub to museum, with each entry highlighting the diverse and
complex ways in which music and place are mutually constitutive.
