Rewriting Literary Blackness in Harlem
For decades, scholars have placed the “New Negro” and Harlem’s Literati movements and their participants under the Harlem Renaissance’s umbrella with these monikers used interchangeably in scholarship to describe a seemingly singular literary and cultural moment in history. In Rewriting Literary Blackness in Harlem: The Intertextuality of Hubert Harrison, George S. Schuyler, and Wallace Thurman, Tammie Jenkins argues that these are distinct movements that share intertextually related ideological views that occurred on a literary continuum. Harrison’s, Schuyler’s, and Thurman’s contributions have rarely been viewed and analyzed through an isolation of their respective movements....
The Routledge Companion to Jazz and Gender
The Routledge Companion to Jazz and Gender identifies, defines, and interrogates the construct of gender in all forms of jazz, jazz culture, and education, shaping and transforming the conversation in response to changing cultural and societal norms across the globe. Such interrogation requires consideration of gender from multiple viewpoints, from scholars and artists at various points in their careers. This edited collection of 38 essays gathers the diverse perspectives of contributors from four continents, exploring the nuanced (and at times controversial) construct of gender as it relates to jazz music, in the past and present, in four parts: Historical Perspectives Identity and Culture ...
Beyond the Bandstand
The most successful bandleader of the 1920s, Paul Whiteman was an entertainment icon who played a major role in the mainstreaming of jazz. Whiteman and his band premiered Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue. Duke Ellington acknowledged his achievements. His astonishing ear for talent vaulted a who’s who of artists toward prominence. But Whiteman’s oversized presence eclipsed Black jazz musicians while his middlebrow music prompted later generations to jettison him from jazz history. W. Anthony Sheppard’s collection of essays confronts the racial implications of Whiteman’s career. The contributors explore Whiteman’s broad impact on popular culture, tracking his work and influence in Ameri...
Postwar Europe and the Eurovision Song Contest
Postwar Europe and the Eurovision Song Contest examines how the Eurovision Song Contest has reflected and become intertwined with the history of postwar Europe from a political perspective. Established in 1956, the Eurovision Song Contest is the world's largest popular music event and one of the most popular television programmes in Europe, currently attracting a global audience of around 200 million people. Eurovision is often mocked as cultural kitsch because of its over-the-top performances and frivolous song lyrics. Yet there is no cultural medium that connects Europeans more than popular music, the development of which has always been tied to cultural, economic, political, social and te...
Popular Music in the Post-Digital Age
Popular Music in the Post-Digital Age explores the relationship between macro environmental factors, such as politics, economics, culture and technology, captured by terms such as 'post-digital' and 'post-internet'. It also discusses the creation, monetisation and consumption of music and what changes in the music industry can tell us about wider shifts in economy and culture. This collection of 13 case studies covers issues such as curation algorithms, blockchain, careers of mainstream and independent musicians, festivals and clubs-to inform greater understanding and better navigation of the popular music landscape within a global context.
Another Song for Europe
The Eurovision Song Contest is famous for its camp spectacles and political intrigues, but what about its actual music? With more than 1,500 songs in over 50 languages and a wide range of musical styles since it began in 1956, Eurovision features the most musically and linguistically diverse song repertoire in history. Listening closely to its classic fan favorites but also to songs that scored low because they were too different or too far ahead of their time, this book delves into the musical tastes and cultural values the contest engages through its international reach and popular appeal. Chapters discuss the iconic fanfare that introduces the broadcast, the supposed formulas for composin...
Theater* in queerem Alltag und Aktivismus der 1970er und 1980er Jahre
Schwules Theater, Lesbentheater, weiblicher Punk, schiefe Kunst und Cabaret: Theater prägt die LGBTQI*-Kultur im Deutschland der 1970er und 1980er Jahre. Auf Frauenfesten und in der Tuntenkultur, in Protestperformances und Performancekunst, auf öffentlichen Toiletten und Hinterzimmer-Bühnen werden ganz unterschiedliche Formen der theatralen Darstellung eingesetzt, um Sexualitäten und Geschlechter jenseits der heteronormativen Matrix sichtbar und erfahrbar zu machen. Das Wirkungsspektrum reicht dabei von subversiver Parodie über politische Agitation bis zum Spiel mit der vollständigen Illusion. Den Theaterbegriff versehen wir im Titel des Bandes mit dem Gender-Sternchen, um einerseits d...
»All the Things You Are« - Die materielle Kultur populärer Musik
Wie wird die Musikkultur durch die konkrete materielle Beschaffenheit von alltäglichen Gegenständen und Orten geprägt? Die Beiträger*innen unterziehen Flyer für Club Nights, Totenkopf-Shirts, Fotos auf LP-Hüllen, Bierbänke in Festzelten oder Sammlungen historischer Abspielgeräte einer genauen Analyse, um kulturelle Implikationen, überraschende Sinnpotenziale und Effekte offenzulegen. Sie entwickeln dabei eine gesteigerte Sensibilität für die ästhetisch und praktisch wirksame Beschaffenheit von Bedeutungsträgern, die nur zu leicht unterschätzt werden - und machen kulturwissenschaftliche Materialitäts-Diskurse so für das Verständnis populärer Musik fruchtbar.
Elizabeth I in Film und Fernsehen
Das Medium Film findet an der englischen Königin Elizabeth I seit über hundert Jahren seine Faszination. Im Laufe der Filmgeschichte vollzieht die Virgin Queen eine Metamorphose von der verliebten Jungfrau über die Iron Lady zur utopisierten Demokratin. Als beliebtes Subjekt für RegisseurInnen und DrehbuchautorInnen wird der einstige nationale Ruhm zu einer globalen Spielfläche für internationale Gegebenheiten. SchauspielerInnen, die Elizabeth I verkörperten, gehörten fast immer zu den beliebtesten ihrer Zeit. Von Sarah Bernhardt, Bette Davis, Cate Blanchett, Quentin Crisp und Helen Mirren wurde die Rolle der englischen Königin in vielfältigen Interpretationen repräsentiert. Magdalena Fürnkranz widmet sich über elf Dekaden filmischer Präsenz, die eine historische Figur in eine Marke mit optischem Wiedererkennungswert verwandelt hat. Mythen um die Virgin Queen, die diese Filme produzieren, werden aufgedeckt und mit überlieferten geschichtlichen Fakten populärkulturell verortet.
