Beskrivning

Particularly since the 1950s, cars and popular music have been constantly associated. As complementary goods and intertwined technologies, their relationship has become part of a widely shared experience—one that connects individuals and society, private worlds and public spheres. Popular Music and Automobiles aims to unpack that relationship in more detail. It explores the ways in which cars and car journeys have shaped society, as well as how we have shaped them. Including both broad synergies and specific case studies, Popular Music and Automobiles explores how attention to an ongoing relationship can reveal insights about the assertion and negotiation of identity. Using methods of enquiry that are as diverse as the topics they tackle, its contributors closely consider specific genders, genres, places and texts.

Recensioner i media

Popular Music and Automobiles is an outstanding scholarly examination of motorvatin’ music. Chuck Berry would approve of this literary lionizing of car tunes ... this Bloomsbury Academic publication is a gem. It elevates car song analysis to new heights. It presents informed and insightful international perspectives about automotive technology. Best of all, the essays are lucid and logical, fun to read, and valuable sources of reflection.
