| Summary: | Music and Urban Geography is the first wide-ranging study of how changes in major cities in the developed world in the past few decades have affected music, as well as the roles music has played in those changes. Drawing on music theory, musicology, urban geography, and historical materialism, Adam Krims maps the effect of urban geography on how music is performed, sold, and experienced. Taking on venerable musicological debates from entirely new perspectives, Krims argues that the cultural-studies approach now predominant in cultural musicology fails to address the contemporary realities of production and consumption. Instead, the social effects of space and new patterns of urban production play a shaping role, in which music takes on new forms and functions. Pushing urban geography into new cultural contexts, as well, this book will offer those concerned with the social effects of space new theoretical models. Ranging from Anonymous 4 to Alanis Morissette, from Curacao to Seattle, and bridging several disciplines, Music and Urban Geography brings new and provocative ideas to the study of how music shapes its world and how the urban world, in turn, shapes the music "Music and Urban Geography is the first wide-ranging study of how changes in major cities in the developed world over the past few decades have affected music, as well as the roles music has played in those changes.
