This book is a riveting investigation of what it means to love music and what it means to hate music, both of good and bad taste.Non-fans regard Celine Dion as ersatz and plastic, yet to those who love her, no one could be more real, with her impoverished childhood, her manager-husband's struggle with cancer, her knack for howling out raw emotion. There's nothing cool about Celine Dion, and nothing clever. That's part of her appeal as an object of love or hatred - with most critics and committed music fans taking pleasure (or at least geeky solace) in their lofty contempt. This book documents Carl Wilson's brave and unprecedented year-long quest to find his inner Celine Dion fan, and explores how we define ourselves in the light of what we call good and bad, what we love and what we hate.

This Companion explores the evolution, representation, and meaning of superheroes within the broader popular media and culture landscape, as connected to both contemporary and historical frameworks. The volume proposes itself as a comprehensive resource in the interdisciplinary field of "Superhero Studies", acknowledging it as its own area of scholarly and cultural interest. Superhero Studies brings together perspectives from a number of intersecting disciplines such as comics studies, film studies, television studies, fandom studies, game studies, and beyond. In answer to the evolutionary portrayals of superheroes in our cultures, histories, and narratives, The Routledge Companion of Superhero Studies addresses the development, transformation, and meaning of these iconic figures, by taking a transnational, multimedia, and interdisciplinary approach to assessing their importance in our evolving representational contexts.

For his 2007 critically acclaimed 33 1/3 series title, Let’s Talk About Love, Carl Wilson went on a quest to find his inner Céline Dion fan and explore how we define ourselves by what we call good and bad, what we love and what we hate. At once among the most widely beloved and most reviled and lampooned pop stars of the past few decades, Céline Dion’s critics call her mawkish and overblown while millions of fans around the world adore her “huge pipes” and even bigger feelings. How can anyone say which side is right? This new, expanded edition goes even further, calling on thirteen prominent writers and musicians to respond to themes ranging from sentiment and kitsch to cultural capital and musical snobbery. The original text is followed by lively arguments and stories from Nick Hornby, Krist Novoselic, Ann Powers, Mary Gaitskill, James Franco, Sheila Heti and others. In a new afterword, Carl Wilson examines recent cultural changes in love and hate, including the impact of technology and social media on how taste works (or doesn’t) in the 21st century.

Si los críticos se equivocaron tanto con la música disco en los 70, ¿quién nos dice que hoy no se equivocan con Britney Spears? ¿Por qué el pop tiene que ser un placer inconfesable? ¿Por qué no dejarse llevar simplemente por el propio placer? A menos que te entusiasmen los himnos del supremacismo blanco, no tiene por qué avergonzarte de tus gustos. Tarareamos canciones que decimos detestar. Solo nos emocionamos cantando cuando nadie nos ve. Lloramos con baladas de las que nos hemos burlado antes. Mentimos sobre lo que nos gusta para que nos acepten. Y decimos que los demás tienen muy mal gusto.Considerado uno de los mejores ensayos estéticos sobre el gusto musical de la década, Música de mierda investiga el mal gusto y la sensiblería musical a partir de una contradicción: ¿por qué la persona que más discos vende es de la que más gente se ríe? Carl Wilson quiso hacer una investigación sobre el éxito de Céline Dion pero se descubrió escribiendo un ensayo maravilloso sobre el amor (a la música), el esnobismo como coraza y la capacidad de emoción en tiempos de cinismo. «Un ensayo profundo, provocador, que te obliga a preguntarte quién diablos eres realmente.» NICK HORNBY «Leyéndolo sentí que me acercaba un poco más al gran misterio de la música.» ALEX ROSS, autor de «El ruido eterno»
