The Intellect Handbook of Popular Music Methodologies provides a comprehensive overview of methodological approaches within the field of popular music studies. Alongside contributions from key thinkers already established in popular music studies, the strength of the collection lies in its inclusion of many new and emerging writers in the field. Therefore, the collection incorporates a wide range of practitioners, pedagogues and academics from an extensive range of disciplines and thus drawing from a diversity of methodological approaches. These include those that are perhaps more established, such as semiotics, ethnography and psychology, alongside exciting new approaches within popular music, including eco-musicology, religion, intersectionality and archaeology. Although previous books have provided an overall of concepts studied within popular music studies, this will be the first comprehensive Handbook of popular music methodologies.
