Description

Explore the social dimensions of music in Taking Popular Music Seriously, part of the Ashgate Contemporary Thinkers on Critical Musicology Series. In this collection, sociologist Simon Frith examines music as a product of social forces, functioning as an idea, an experience, or an activity. The book investigates how musical meaning and value are socially constructed through discourse and the way people talk and write about music. This volume contains nineteen essays that address the continuous process of negotiation, dispute, and agreement between individual actors within the music world. It provides a deep look into the social construction of musical meaning, making it an essential resource for those studying musicology and sociology. Published by Routledge, these essays offer a rigorous look at the forces that shape our musical landscape.
