Abstract

This revised edition of a now classic text includes a new introduction by Henry Jenkins, explaining 'Why Fiske Still Matters' for today's students, followed by a discussion between former Fiske students Kevin Glynn, Jonathan Gray, and Pamela Wilson on the theme of 'Reading Fiske and Understanding the Popular'. Both underline the continuing relevance of this foundational text in the study of popular culture.What is popular culture? How does it differ from mass culture? And what do popular ""texts"" reveal about class, race, and gender dynamics in a society? John Fiske answers these an

Abstract

"The strength and uniqueness of his approach lies in his experience as a producer and engineer, which gives him a familiarity with the recording studio and process that enlivens the material in this book. . . . Rock Formation also includes a clear and concise history of sound recording from the phonograph to digital recording and the CD. . . . The book explores the intricacies of the music technology industry and gives an insightful account of the implications for designing and marketing equipment for the dominant rock music market. A chapter on the dilemmas and legal complications surrounding copyright law and the copying of sounds is very informative, including a discussion of the production method of 'sampling,' the process whereby artists recontextualize 'snatches of sound' from other recordings." --Popular Music and Society "The book provides good historical background and lucid accounts of the arguments. . . . It can be warmly recommended, both as an introduction and a stimulus to further work in these areas." --IPM Newsletter "Similar to the volumes which precede it in the series, it is written with sufficient clarity to serve nicely as an upper-level undergraduate textbook. At the same time, as a book that consolidates a good deal of historical research and offers some fresh arguments, it adds up to the growing body of literature on popular music written from a communications perspective. . . . As a musician who has worked on both sides of the control room window, Jones is attentive to minor shifts in the importance and creative input of various occupational or creative roles. . . . As a point in the development of popular music studies where the pendulum has swung towards studies of consumption and reception, a book that skillfully maps out long-term changes in the material circumstances of musical production is a welcome change." --Canadian Journal of Communication "Jones says that technology 'organizes our experience of popular music,' and supports
