Abstract

In I'm Feeling the Blues Right Now: Blues Tourism and the Mississippi Delta, Stephen A. King reveals the strategies used by blues promoters and organizers in Mississippi, both African American and white, local and state, to attract the attention of tourists. In the process, he reveals how promotional materials portray the Delta's blues culture and its musicians.

Abstract

The last century has seen radical social changes in Ireland, which have impacted all aspects of local life but none more so than traditional Irish music, an increasingly important identity marker both in Ireland and abroad. The author focuses on a small village in County Clare, which became a kind of pilgrimage site for those interested in experiencing traditional music.

Abstract

This book is the second installment of a trilogy that explores the spatial dimensions of music. Music has generated substantial interest among geographers, but other academic disciplines have also developed related spatial perspectives on music. This trilogy brings together multiple approaches, each book investigating a bundle of interrelated themes. New Geographies of Music 2: Music in Urban Tourism, Heritage Policies and Place-making starts by exploring contemporary approaches to the study of popular music, as well as the relations existing between music, tourism, heritage and urban geography. The chapters address a range of issues, including how music shapes the “feel” of touristic towns and urban public spaces, how music scenes have an increasing role in heritage and tourism policies, and how this recognition of music has consequences on artistic practices and urban imaginaries. This is a must-read for anyone interested in the relationship between space and music. Séverin Guillard is an Assistant Professor in Geography at the University of Picardie Jules Verne, Amiens, France and a member of the research unit Habiter le Monde (Inhabiting the World). His research focuses on music, cultural policies and events in French, American, and British cities. Joseph Palis is an Associate Professor and Chairperson at the Department of Geography, University of the Philippines-Diliman. He has been a DJ at WXYC-Chapel Hill since 2006. Ola Johansson is a Professor of Geography at the University of Pittsburgh in Johnstown. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of Tennessee. Johansson is the author of the book Songs from Sweden (2020, Palgrave Macmillan), and co-author of Sound, Society, and the Geography of Popular Music and World Regional Geography. .
