Streaming Music examines how the Internet has become integrated in contemporary music use, by focusing on streaming as a practice and a technology for music consumption. The backdrop to this enquiry is the digitization of society and culture, where the music industry has undergone profound disruptions, and where music streaming has altered listening modes and meanings of music in everyday life.

The objective of Streaming Music is to shed light on what these transformations mean for listeners, by looking at their adaptation in specific cultural contexts, but also by considering how online music platforms and streaming services guide music listeners in specific ways. Drawing on case studies from Moscow and Stockholm, and providing analysis of Spotify, VK and YouTube as popular but distinct sites for music, Streaming Music discusses, through a qualitative, cross-cultural, study, questions around music and value, music sharing, modes of engaging with music, and the way that contemporary music listening is increasingly part of mobile, automated and computational processes. Offering a nuanced perspective on these issues, it adds to research about music and digital media, shedding new light on music cultures as they appear today.

As such, this volume will appeal to scholars of media, sociology and music with interests in digital technologies.

Att vara en god högskolelärare och ständigt vilja förbättra sin undervisning är en viktig del av lärarens identitet. Här måste alla inom högskolan ta sitt ansvar. Det gör man genom att synliggöra utbildningsfrågor och undervisningssituationer. Aktiva högskolelärare måste skapa mötesplatser där lärande, innovation och kvalitet diskuteras. Pedagogik för högskolelärare bidrar till utvecklingen av kreativa lärandemiljöer vid landets lärosäten.

Bokens innehåll bildar en struktur över högskolepedagogiska insatser för kvalificering av lärare och studenter. Certifierade högskolelärare ska behärska strategier, bedömning, rådgivning, forskning och handledning. Innehållet exemplifierar ämnesövergripande strategier samt visar metoder för att dela god praxis. Ämnesföreträdare, forskare, handledare, doktorander och kursansvariga finner ett intressant innehåll, får goda råd och utvecklar därefter egna tankar.

Boken bidrar, kort sagt, till teoribildningen kring kunskapsområdet, stöder de studerandes kunskapsutveckling och stärker lärarens praktik. Urvalet av bidrag ger en bild av högskolepedagogikens bredd och djup. Enskilda kapitel beskriver ämnesområdets komplexitet, konkreta lektionsförslag, studenternas utmaningar och lärarens etisk-moraliska antaganden.
