Music is omnipresent in human society, but its language can no
longer be regarded as transcendent or universal. Like other art
forms, music is produced and consumed within complex economic,
cultural, and political frameworks in different places and at
different historical moments. Taking an explicitly spatial
approach, this unique interdisciplinary text explores the role
played by music in the formation and articulation of geographical
imaginations--local, regional, national, and global. Contributors
show how music's facility to be recorded, stored, and broadcast; to
be performed and received in private and public; and to rouse
intense emotional responses for individuals and groups make it a
key force in the definition of a place. Covering rich and varied
terrain--from Victorian England, to 1960s Los Angeles, to the
offices of Sony and Time-Warner and the landscapes of the American
Depression--the volume addresses such topics as the evolution of
musical genres, the globalization of music production and
marketing, alternative and hybridized music scenes as sites of
localized resistance, the nature of soundscapes, and issues of
migration and national identity.
