In this important new book, Peter J. Martin explores the interface
between musicological and sociological approaches to the analysis
of music, and in doing so reveals the differing foundations of
cultural studies and sociological perspectives more generally.
Building on the arguments of his earlier book Sounds and society,
Dr Martin initially contrasts text-based attempts to develop a
'social' analysis of music with sociological studies of musical
activities in real cultural and institutional contexts. It is
argued that the difficulties encountered by some of the 'new'
musicologists in their efforts to introduce a social dimension to
their work are often a result of their unfamiliarity with
contemporary sociological discourse. Just as linguistic studies
have moved from a concern with the meaning of words to a focus on
how they are used, a sociological perspective directs our attention
towards the ways in which the production and reception of music
inevitably involve the collaborative activities of real people in
particular times and places. -- .
