Nick Crossley argues that music is a form of social interaction,
interwoven in the fabric of society and in constant interplay with
its other threads. Musical interactions are often also economic
interactions, for example, and sometimes political interactions.
They can be forms of identity work, for both individuals and
collectives, contributing to the reproduction or bridging of social
divisions. As such music both shapes and is shaped by the wider
network of relations and interactions making up our societies at
their local, national and global levels. Successive chapters of the
book track and explore these interplays, in each case combining a
critical consideration of existing literature with the development
of an original, 'relational' approach to music sociology. The
result is a grand sociological vision of music that captures not
only music's context but 'the music itself'. The book extends the
project begun in Crossley's earlier work on punk and post-punk
'music worlds', revisiting this concept and the network ideas that
underpin it, whilst broadening its focus through a consideration of
wider music forms and the meanings that music has for its
participants. -- .
