"Discos, clubs and raves have been focal points for the development of new and distinctive musical and cultural practices over the past four decades. This volume presents the rich array of scholarship that has sprung up in response. Cutting-edge perspectives from a broad range of academic disciplines reveal the complex questions provoked by this musical tradition. Issues considered include aesthetics; agency; 'the body' in dance, movement, and space; composition; identity (including gender, sexuality, race, and other constructs); musical design; place; pleasure; policing and moral panics; production techniques such as sampling; spirituality and religion; sub-cultural affiliations and distinctions; and technology. The essays are contributed by an international group of scholars and cover a geographically and culturally diverse array of musical scenes" -- Publisher's website.

Analyse à la fois rigoureuse et nuancée, ce livre replace la Tecktonik et les danses électro dans l'univers des cultures jeunes et révèle les attentes de la jeunesse dans une société médiatique. L'été 2007, la Tecktonik a provoqué un véritable effet de mode auprès des adolescents et préadolescents. Des jeunes danseurs aux vêtements colorés et aux coiffures stylisées déferlent sur les écrans de télévision, les radios et les magazines, dansent dans les rues, les discothèques et les cours de collège. Mais les danses électro, toujours existantes à l'heure actuelle, se développaient en réalité depuis plusieurs années dans les discothèques et sur Internet, au travers des blogs et des réseaux sociaux. Cette enquête décrypte l'impact des industries culturelles et médiatiques aujourd'hui, tout en montrant le rôle de la créativité des jeunes, de leurs pratiques amateurs et des espaces qu'ils créent sur Internet. L'arrivée du web 2.0, des blogs et messageries instantanées dans les pratiques, la conquête d'une autonomie culturelle par les préadolescents, les nouvelles modalités de mise en scène et de construction identitaire à l'heure d'Internet, les processus de starification, sont autant de phénomènes passés au crible de l'analyse. Une plongée au cœur d'un phénomène juvénile qui, en associant étroitement pratiques numériques et pratiques musicales, manifeste de grandes tendances de la culture contemporaine.

"From massive raves sprouting around the London orbital at the turn of the 1990s to events operated under the control of corporate empires, EDM (Electronic Dance Music) festivals have developed into cross-genre, multi-city, transnational mega-events. From free party teknivals proliferating across Europe since the mid-1990s to colossal corporate attractions like Tomorrowland Electric Daisy Carnival and Stereosonic, and from transformational and participatory events like Burning Man and events in the UK outdoor psytrance circuit, to such digital arts and new media showcases as Barcelona's Sónar Festival and Montreal's MUTEK, dance festivals are platforms for a variety of arts, lifestyles, industries and policies. Growing ubiquitous in contemporary social life, and providing participants with independent sources of belonging, these festivals and their event-cultures are diverse in organization, intent and outcome. From ethically-charged and ?boutique? events with commitments to local regions to subsidiaries of entertainment conglomerates touring multiple nations, EDM festivals are expressions of ?freedoms? revolutionary and recreational. Centres of ?EDM pop?, critical vectors in tourism industries, fields of racial distinction, or experiments in harm reduction, gifting culture, and co-created art, as this volume demonstrates, diversity is evident across management styles, performance legacies and modes of participation. Weekend Societies is a timely interdisciplinary volume from the emergent field of EDM festival and event-culture studies. Echoing an industry trend in world dance music culture from raves and clubs towards festivals, Weekend Societies features contributions from scholars of EDM festivals showcasing a diversity of methodological approaches, theoretical perspectives and representational styles. Organised in four sections: Dance Empires; Underground Networks; Urban Experiments; Global Flows, Weekend Societies illustrates how a complex array of regional, economic, social, cultural and political factors combine to determine the fate of EDM festivals that transpire at the intersections of the local and global."--

In a tour de force of lyrical theory, Joshua Clover boldly reimagines how we understand both pop music and its social context in a vibrant exploration of a year famously described as "the end of history." Amid the historic overturnings of 1989, including the fall of the Berlin Wall, pop music also experienced striking changes. Vividly conjuring cultural sensations and events, Clover tracks the emergence of seemingly disconnected phenomena--from grunge to acid house to gangsta rap--asking if "perhaps pop had been biding its time until 1989 came along to make sense of its sensibility." His analysis deftly moves among varied artists and genres including Public Enemy, N.W.A., Dr. Dre, De La Soul, The KLF, Nine Inch Nails, Nirvana, U2, Jesus Jones, the Scorpions, George Michael, Madonna, Roxette, and others. This elegantly written work, deliberately mirroring history as dialectical and ongoing, summons forth a new understanding of how "history had come out to meet pop as something more than a fairytale, or something less. A truth, a way of being."
