Music and World-Building in the Colonial City: Newcastle, NSW, and its Townships, 1860–1880 de Helen English

Music and World-Building in the Colonial City: Newcastle, NSW, and its Townships, 1860–1880: Music in Nineteenth-Century Britain

Autor Helen English
en Limba Engleză Paperback – feb 2022
Music and World-Building in the Colonial City investigates how nineteenth-century migrants to Australia used music as a resource for world-building, focusing on coalmining regions of New South Wales. It explores how music-making helped British migrants to create communities in unfamiliar country, often with little to no infrastructure. Its key themes are as follows:
  • people’s relationships to music within specific contexts;
  • how music-making intersects with class, gender and ethnic background;
  • identity through music.
Situated within a wider discourse on music and identity, music and well-being and music and emotions, this is an authoritative study of historical communities and their relationship with music. It will be of particular interest to scholars and researchers working in the fields of sociomusicology, colonial studies and cultural studies.

Recenzii

In this meticulously researched local study Helen English demonstrates the critically important role that popular music played in determining a sense of community and identity amongst working class immigrants in Victorian Australia. This is an exemplary case study of the complicated processes of cultural transmission in shaping a colonial Australian mentalite.
Emeritus Professor Richard Waterhouse FAHA FASSA
School of Philosophical and Historical Inquiry,
University of Sydney, NSW Australia
Helen English presents a ground-breaking study of the musical activities of migrant miners in nineteenth-century Australia, showing how vitally important music was to the making of new communities, their social values and colonial identity. In this absorbing, historically informed and persuasively theorized study of Newcastle and outlying townships, the author constantly surprises the reader with examples of how people were able to recreate musical practices from Eisteddfodau and brass band concerts to blackface minstrel shows, despite their lack of infrastructure and resources.
Derek B. Scott
Professor of Critical Musicology
University of Leeds
