- Summary:
- This book assesses previous sociological and cultural studies attempts to analyse and theorise worlds of cultural production and in particular worlds of popular music production. It offers and develops a new theoretical matrix that can illuminate these trends in a more complex and instructive way. The concept of milieux cultures combines theoretical strands drawn from phenomenology, Bourdieus reflexive sociology and globalisation theory with new and original case study work on a variety of cities and musical worlds (Bristol, London, New York, San Francisco, Berlin Trip-hop, Hip-hop, Industrial, Neo-folk) to provide a multi-layered theory that operates by acknowledging a number of different experiential registers.
- Contents:
