Title: Popular Music in Theory
First published: November 1996
Description: "... Shows how popular music is created across a series of relationships that link together industry and audiences, producers and consumers. Explores the equally significant social processes that intervene between and across the production-consumption divide, examining the ways that popular music is mediated by a series of technological, cultural, historical, geographical and political factors. This broad framework provides signposts to various tracks taken by the sounds and images of popular music, and also highlights distinctive theoretical routes into the study of contemporary music."
