Zamieszczone w książce artykuły świadczą o dobrej lub bardzo dobrej orientacji ich autorów w zasadniczym przedmiocie rozważań, w większości wypadków ukazują również bogactwo ich aparatu badawczego, erudycję i umiejętność nietuzinkowej kontekstualizacji. Fenomen Depeche Mode postrzegany jest bowiem z wielu różnych perspektyw: literaturoznawczej (interpretacyjnej), lingwistycznej (fonologicznej), antropologicznej, kulturoznawczej, politycznej, muzykologicznej oraz filmoznawczej (co zresztą sprawia, że opiniowana publikacja może okazać się najważniejszą w Polsce książką poświęconą tytułowemu zespołowi). (fragment opinii wydawniczej dra Tomasza Dalasińskiego)
Made in Poland: Studies in Popular Music serves as a comprehensive introduction to the history, sociology, and musicology of contemporary Polish popular music. Each essay, written by a leading scholar of Polish music, covers the major figures, styles, and social contexts of pop music in Poland and provides adequate context so readers understand why the figure or genre under discussion is of lasting significance. The book first presents a general description of the history and background of popular music in Poland, followed by essays organized into thematic sections: Popular Music in the People’s Republic of Poland; Documenting Change and Continuity in Music Scenes and Institutions; and Music, Identity, and Critique.
During the last thirty years Eastern Europe has been a place of radical political, economic, and social transformation, and these changes have affected the cultural industries of its countries. This volume consists of twelve chapters by leading international researchers. Stories are documented of various organisations that once dominated the ‘communist music industries’ — such as state-owned record companies, music festivals, and collecting societies. The strategies employed by artists and industries to join international music markets after the fall of communism are explained and evaluated. Political and economic transformations that coincided with the advent of digitalisation and the Internet intensified the changes. All these issues posed challenges both to record labels and artists who, after adjusting to the rules of the free-market economy, were faced with the falling record sales of records caused by the advent of new communication technologies. This book examines how these processes have all affected the music scene, industries, and markets in various Eastern European countries.
