Media Narratives in Popular Music de Chris Anderton

Media Narratives in Popular Music

Editat de Chris Anderton, Martin James
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 iul 2023
The historical significance of music-makers, music scenes, and music genres has long been mediated through academic and popular press publications such as magazines, films, and television documentaries. Media Narratives in Popular Music examines these various publications and questions how and why they are constructed. It considers the typically linear narratives that are based on simplifications, exaggerations, and omissions and the histories they construct - an approach that leads to totalizing "official" histories that reduce otherwise messy narratives to one-dimensional interpretations of a heroic and celebratory nature. This book questions the basis on which these mediated histories are constructed, highlights other, hidden, histories that have otherwise been neglected, and explores a range of topics including consumerism, the production pressure behind documentaries, punk fanzines, Rolling Stones covers, and more.

Recenzii

A much-needed book, Media Narratives and Popular Music shows us how meanings attached to music are shaped by and contested within the media. The book, full of leading scholars, is sure to be essential reading for students of popular culture long into the 21st century.
The academic intersection between media and music has finally been given its rightful prominence for consideration with this thoughtful collection which seeks to note, consider and open discussion. The twelve in depth examples of such junctions are carefully cosseted via three key themes - identity, genre and narratives, with contributions from across disciplines and countries. I warmly welcome this timely addition and thoroughly engaging read.
This book features dynamic, vivid scholarship on everything from the marginalisation of women in mediation of genres like Northern Soul and EDM, to the erosion of the presence of Islam and black nationalism in hip hop. It not only unearths hidden histories, but reshapes the way that popular music history has been canonized as white and male. An essential text on the mediation of music.
Media Narratives in Popular Music is a transformative collection of powerful chapters. It shifts the trajectories and tributaries of melody and memory, counterculture and compromise, loss and location. This remarkable book reveals how we are all exiles in our pop present, demanding accuracy and authenticity and yet valuing tweets and TikTok. As our affinities and belongings fray and decay, Media Narratives in Popular Music reveal the longing in our nostalgia for 'Classic Albums' but our potential for change, alternatives and defiant difference as we welcome alternative rhythms.
