Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
*Nominated for the International Association for the Study of Popular Music Book Prize*Partlybecause they are the objects of such intense adulation by fans popularmusicians remain strangely enigmatic figures, shrouded in mythology.This book looks beyond the myth and examines the diverse roles musicmakers have had to adopt in order to go about their work: designer,ventriloquist, star, delegate of the people. The musician is a dividedsubject and jack of all tradesHowever the story doesnot end here. Arguing against that strand in cultural studies whichdeconstructs all claims for authorship by the individual artist, JasonToynbee suggests that creativity should be reconceived rather thanabandoned. He argues that what is needed is a sense of 'the radius ofcreativity' within which musicians work, an approach that takes intoaccount both the embedded collectivism of popular music practice and theinstitutional power of the music industries.Drawing on awide range of theoretical positions, as well as examining musical textsfrom across the history of twentiethcentury pop,this groundbreakingbook develops a powerful case for the importance of production incontemporary culture. Students of cultural and media studies, music andthe performing arts will find this book an invaluable resource.
