Exploring the Spiritual in Popular Music: Beatified Beats de Georgina Gregory

Exploring the Spiritual in Popular Music: Beatified Beats: Bloomsbury Studies in Religion and Popular Music

Editat de Georgina Gregory, Mike Dines
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 sep 2022
This book highlights how the diverse nature of spiritual practices are experienced and manifest through the medium of popular music. At first glance, chapters on Krishnacore, the Rave Church phenomenon and post-punk repertoire of Psychic TV may appear to have little in common; however, this book draws attention to some of the similarities of the nuances of spiritual expression that underpin the lived experience of popular music. As an interdisciplinary volume, the extensive introduction unpacks and clarifies terminology relating to the study of religion and popular music.The cross-disciplinary approach of the book makes it accessible and appealing to scholars of religious studies, cultural studies, popular music studies and theology. Unlike existing collections dealing with popular music and religion that focus on a specific genre, this innovative book offers a range of music and case studies, with chapters written by international contributors.

Recenzii

Exploring the Spiritual in Popular Music is a stimulating volume for those interested in how these two vital areas of human life interact.
Whether expressed by the artist or felt in the heart of the beholder, the often ineffable qualities of the spiritual and divine (perhaps even satanic), are materialized in the studies assembled here. As all good books of this kind do, the scope of engaging scholarship prompts further reflection and action. In so doing, it will provide an important touchstone for any of us who continue to have faith in the power of popular music.
Popular music in its ever-evolving forms continues as a space for religious experience, or a gateway to it. With appropriate reverence for music once called anathema, this book takes scholarly interest in the intersection of self, sound and soul. Familiar pathways benefit from fresh perspectives and illumination falls on new trails.
This is a valuable collection of research into the relationships between popular music and various spiritualities. Well written and covering a great deal, it will be a key source to anyone working in this field.
