TITLE   Music & Cultural Theory
AUTHOR   SHEPHERD, John & WICKE, Peter
DESCRIPTION   Grossberg is a leading Cultural Studies theorist in the U.S.A. Comes out strongly for this book. As does our own Graeme Turner-"map(s) the theoretical territory between musicology & cultural studies in order to better understand the processes of"meaning & affect"in music ... (moves) cultural theory towards an accommodation with musicology - an accommodation that is long overdue."DARK HORSEY SAYS- Lawrence Grossberg - not quite yesterday's man when it comes to the popular culture 'beat' (har har har) - says this book"actually moves popular music studies forward & offers significant challenges to cultural theory". And who's to deny him? Not I'm not! The book discusses music semiologically (e.g., the political economy of rhythm), for example. Theory mounted in the sonic saddle. Who's a houyhnhnm then, hey?
