Perspectives on German Popular Music (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Ahlers, Michael; Jacke, Christoph

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

In this book, native popular musicologists focus on their own popular music cultures from Germany, Austria and Switzerland for the first time: from subcultural to mainstream phenomena; from the 1950s to contemporary acts. Starting with an introduction and two chapters on the histories of German popular music and its study, the volume then concentrates on focused, detailed and yet concise close readings from different perspectives (including particular historical East and West German perspectives), mostly focusing on the music and its protagonists. The book, as a consequence, will show close connections between global and local popular music cultures and diverse traditions of study.
