Stereo: Comparative Perspectives on the Sociological Study of Popular Music in France and Britain (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Dauncey, Hugh

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

French, British and American research into popular music has coexisted - with considerable cross-fertilization - for many years, but the barriers of language and different academic traditions have made it hard for French and anglophone researchers to fully appreciate the ways in which popular music has developed in their respective countries. This volume provides a comparative and contrastive perspective on popular music and its study in France and the UK.

In 2003 he was decorated by the French state with the order of the Palmes Académiques, in recognition of 'services to French Culture'. Philippe Le Guern is Professor of Sociology of Culture at the University of Avignon, member of the Centre Norbert Elias research laboratory (CNRS-EHESS-UAPV), France, and associate member of the Georges Friedmann research laboratory (Paris 1-CNRS).

Frith) available on-line at http://reseaux.revuesonline.com, and the recent creation of the webjournal Cultures sonores (www.culturessonores.org). Current work covers music and everyday life, the impact of digital technologies on work practices in the music and film industries and trends towards considering popular music as 'heritage'. He is principal investigator in a French national research council project on the effects of digital technologies on work in cultural industries.
