Popular music has become not only one of the most lucrative spheres
of human activity, but also one of the most influential on the
identities of individuals and communities. Popular music matters,
and it matters to many people, people we can only partially
understand if we do not understand their music. In the light of
this phenomenon the academic study of popular music has become
universally established as an active discipline at university level
and this timely series brings together the fruits of recent
teaching and research in this field. It makes overt recognition of
the fact that the study of popular music is necessarily
inter-disciplinary and addresses issues as diverse as: the popular
music industry and its institutions; aspects of the history of
genres; issues in the theories and methodologies of study and
practice; questions of the ontologies and hermeneutics of
particular musics; the varying influence of different waves of
technological development; the ways markets and audiences are
constructed, reproduced and reached; and aspects of the repertory
without which there would be no popular music to study. The eight
volumes in this series span the range of the world's popular music
genres from rap, hip hop, soul and jazz, to roots, electronica,
dance and club music. Each volume editor has contributed an
introductory essay which constitutes a broad overview of the
specific group of genres, and made a selection of the most
important and influential published articles, papers and other
relevant material. Taken together, these volumes offer an
invaluable resource for the study of popular music today in all its
forms.
