Beschreibung
This volume examines the transnational character of popular music since the Cold War era to the present. Bringing together the cross-disciplinary research of native scholars, Eastern European Popular Music in a Transnational Context expands our understanding of the movement of physical music, musicians and genres through the Iron Curtain and within the region of Eastern Europe. With case studies ranging from Goran Bregović, Czesław Niemen, the reception of Leonard Cohen in Poland, the Estonian punk scene to the Intervision Song Contest, the book discusses how the production and reception of popular music in the region has always been heavily influenced by international trends and how varied strategies allowed performers and fans to acquire cosmopolitan identities. Cross-disciplinary in nature, the investigations are informed by political, social and cultural history, reception studies, sociology and marketing and are largely based on archival research and interviews.

Stimmen zu »Eastern European Popular Music in a Transnational Context«
“Eastern Europe is a highly diverse region with rich history and culture. Although the same can be said for Eastern European popular music, academic writing on this topic is far from exhaustive. It is great, therefore, to see this gap filled by a well-written, comprehensive contribution that will be a useful resource for academics and students alike.” (Patryk Galuszka, Associate Professor, University of Lodz, Poland)
