Remixing the Hip-Hop Narrative
Although hip hop is now a well-established global music genre and cultural form, its history and current impact have not yet been sufficiently studied. The interdisciplinary contributions to this volume address hip hop's historical and regional struggles for representation of race, gender, generation, place, and language, as well as the tension between authenticity and commercialization. Contributors offer approaches to historicizing hip-hop culture, and present new theoretical perspectives and methodological tools for addressing hip hop's global impact. This volume targets not only scholars and students but also resonates with recent public debates about identity politics and cultural appropriation.

In the Time of Sky-Rhyming
Jonathan E. Calvillo explores the rise of Hip Hop on the West Coast and the integral role the Los Angeles Latine community had on the movement - and in turn, Hip Hop's impact on Latines as it became a space for community, expression, and coping with inequality. Building his narrative around interviews and oral histories, he explores how incoming migrants, local-born Latines, and other minoritized populations joined Black Americans in the 1980s to build early underground sites of Hip Hop innovation, contributing to the genre's global expansion. The book details how Hip Hop's deep impact on Latines was based in part on the inequality, marginalization, and injustice that many Latines of this er...
Americana
The essay collection Americana poses the basic question of how American music can be described and analyzed as such, as American music. Situated at the intersection between musicology and American Studies, the essays focus on the categories of aesthetics, authenticity, and performance in order to show how popular music is made American-from Alaskan hip hop to German Schlager, from Creedence Clearwater Revival to film scores, from popular opera to U2, from the Rolling Stones to country rap, and from Steve Earle to the Trans Chorus of Los Angeles.
Pop the Nation
Wie veralltäglichen die populären Kulturen Nationales und Nationalismus? Wie durchdringen sich Unterhaltung, Vergnügung und das Nationale im Alltag und welche Bedeutungsverschiebungen, Resonanzräume und Medienpraxen entstehen so? In sechzehn Beiträgen durchdringt dieser Tagungsband das oft mythisch-vage und emotionale Verhältnis von Populärkultur und Nationalem mit konkreten Fallstudien. Der Blick liegt auf der herausragenden Rolle der Unterhaltungs- und Vergnügungskulturen als Schnittstelle zwischen nationalen Makropolitiken und den (vor-)politischen Alltagspraxen breiter Bevölkerungsteile. Theoretische Überlegungen zu Populärkultur, Nation und Nationalismus bilden den Rahmen für diesen Zugang, der zugleich einen Überblick über aktuelle empirisch-kulturwissenschaftliche und europäisch-ethnologische Positionen zum Thema bietet.
Lied und populäre Kultur/Song und popular Culture
Das Jahrbuch 'Lied und populäre Kultur' 66/2021 widmet sich musikalischen Regionen und Regionalismen in den USA. Wenn eine der Rahmungen des amerikanischen Traums das Bestreben ist, zwischen den Küsten sowohl die Diversität der regionalen Kulturen als auch den nationalen Zusammenhalt zu bewahren, so schlägt sich dies ebenso in der Vielfalt der Musikkulturen der städtischen und ländlichen Regionen der USA nieder. Daraus entsteht ein Spannungsverhältnis von Region und Nation, von Nationalismus und Regionalismus, das das Motto E pluribus unum, auch als musikalische Konstruktion der USA, herausfordert.
Sounds and the City
This book draws from a rich history of scholarship about the relations between music and cities, and the global flows between music and urban experience. The contributions in this collection comment on the global city as a nexus of moving people, changing places, and shifting social relations, asking what popular music can tell us about cities, and vice versa. Since the publication of the first Sounds and the City volume, various movements, changes and shifts have amplified debates about globalization. From the waves of people migrating to Europe from the Syrian civil war and other conflict zones, to the 2016 “Brexit” vote to leave the European Union and American presidential election of Donald Trump. These, and other events, appear to have exposed an anti-globalist retreat toward isolationism and a backlash against multiculturalism that has been termed “post-globalization.” Amidst this, what of popular music? Does music offer renewed spaces and avenues for public protest, for collective action and resistance? What can the diverse histories, hybridities, and legacies of popular music tell us about the ever-changing relations of people and cities?
Cultural Appropriation and the Arts
Now, for the first time, a philosopher undertakes a systematic investigation of the moral and aesthetic issues to which cultural appropriation gives rise. Cultural appropriation is a pervasive feature of the contemporary world (the Parthenon Marbles remain in London; white musicians from Bix Beiderbeck to Eric Clapton have appropriated musical styles from African-American culture) Young offers the first systematic philosophical investigation of the moral and aesthetic issues to which cultural appropriation gives rise Tackles head on the thorny issues arising from the clash and integration of cultures and their artifacts Questions considered include: “Can cultural appropriation result in the production of aesthetically successful works of art?” and “Is cultural appropriation in the arts morally objectionable?” Part of the highly regarded New Directions in Aesthetics series

The Discourse Community of Electronic Dance Music
Research on electronic dance music communities has been initiated by scholars in the fields of sociology, cultural studies, public health research and others. Linguistic aspects, however, are rarely considered. Anita Jóri fills this gap of research and suggests a new perspective by looking at these communities as a discourse community. She gives an overview of the language use and discourse characteristics of this community while applying a mixed methodology of linguistic discourse analysis and cultural studies. The book is aimed at researchers and students in the fields of applied linguistics, popular music, media, communication and cultural studies.
