Unearthing the messy and sprawling interrelationships of place,
wellbeing, and popular music, this book explores musical
soundscapes of health, ranging from activism to international
charity, to therapeutic treatments and how wellbeing is sought and
attained in contexts of music. Drawing on critical social theories
of the production, circulation, and consumption of popular music,
the book gathers together diverse insights from geographers and
musicologists. Popular music has become increasingly embedded in
complex and often contradictory discourses of wellbeing. For
instance, some new genres and sub-cultures of popular music are
associated with violence, drug-use, and the angst of living, yet
simultaneously define the hopes and dreams of millions of young
people. At a service level, popular music is increasingly used as a
therapeutic modality in holistic medicine, as well as in
conventional health care and public health practice. The genre of
popular music, then, is fundamental to human wellbeing as an active
and central part of people's emotional lives. By conceptually and
empirically foregrounding place, this book demonstrates how - music
whether from particular places, about particular places, or played
in particular places " is a crucial component of health and
wellbeing.
