Music and Urban Geography is the first book to theorize musical
aspects of the tremendous changes that have overtaken major cities
in the developed world over the past few decades. Drawing on
musicology, music theory, urban geography, and historical
materialism, Krims maps changes not only in how music represents
cities, but also in how music sounds and is deployed socially in
new urban contexts. Taking on venerable musicological debates from
entirely new perspectives, Krims argues that the cultural-studies
approach now predominant in cultural musicology fails to address
contemporary realities of production and consumption; instead, the
social effects of space and new patterns of urban production play a
shaping role, in which music takes on new forms and functions, with
representation playing a significant but not always decisive role.
While music scholars increasingly concern themselves with place,
Krims theorizes it together with the shaping role of space. Pushing
urban geography into new cultural contexts Music and Urban
Geography will offer those concerned with the social effects of
space newtheoretical models. Ranging from Anonymous 4 to Alanis
Morissette, from CuraAao to Seattle, Music and Urban Geography
presents a truly wide-ranging, interdisciplinary, and theoretically
ambitious view of both musical and urban change.
