About the Series
Elements in Popular Music is a series that is relevant to scholars based in a range of different academic fields. This includes various areas relevant to music, including musicology, music history, ethnomusicology and folk music, performance, composition, songwriting, music industries, recording and production. It is also of interest to those based in media studies, whether exploring journalism, fandom, celebrity, screen studies, or film and T.V. It is deeply embedded within popular culture, and also provides insights into aspects of cultural studies, gender, sexuality, identity, embodiment, audiences, reception, ethnography, and religion. It often involves crossing disciplinary boundaries, drawing on different empirical and creative methodologies, both qualitative and quantitative. These disparate elements are drawn together within engaging popular music examples and case studies that are of widespread interest to a broad range of specialist and non-specialist readers, within academic circles and the general public.
