Capitals of Punk tells the story of Franco-American circulation of punk music, politics, and culture, focusing on the legendary Washington, DC hardcore punk scene and its less-heralded counterpart in Paris.

This book compiles exclusive accounts across multiple eras from a long list of iconic punk musicians, promoters, writers, and fans on both sides of the Atlantic.

Book Description
"Punk arrived in Soviet Russia in 1978, spreading through black market records before exploding into state-controlled performance halls, where authorities found the raucous youth movement easier to control. In fits and starts, the scene grew and flourished, always a step ahead of secret police and neo-Nazis, through glastnost, perestroika, and the end of the Cold War. Despite a few albums smuggled out of the country and released in Europe and the U.S., most Westerners had never heard of Russia's punk movement until Pussy Riot burst onto the international stage. Includes never-before-published photographs of many of the bands"--Back cover.

New Cultural Capitals: Urban Pop Cultures in Focus
Author: Leonard Koos
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 1848881770
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 117
Book Description
This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2013. The modern city, the locus of contemporary popular cultural production, is also the site where marginal if not marginalised individuals and groups invariably coalesce and develop their distinctive practices, representations, and identities in the interstices of established culture. The chapters in this volume explore the urban pop cultural imagination in the modern metropolis in three sections. ‘Visible Cities,’ analyses those visual phenomena in the modern city that attest to the complicating presence of otherwise marginalised agents and spaces. ‘Recreations,’ considers those leisure-time practices that nonetheless demarcate the parameters of resistance and identity for their participants. Finally, ‘Urban Planning,’ examines the ways by which cities are evoked, used, and reconceptualised by the pop cultural imagination. Whether verbal or written, physical or virtual, produced or received by individuals or groups, the representations and practices examined in this volume attest to the dynamic nature of urban popular cultures, a presence that has ultimately transformed the ways by which we understand and appreciate urban existence.

Unspooled
Author: Rob Drew
Publisher: Duke University Press
ISBN: 1478027711
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 145
Book Description
Well into the new millennium, the analog cassette tape continues to claw its way back from obsolescence. New cassette labels emerge from hipster enclaves while the cassette’s likeness pops up on T-shirts, coffee mugs, belt buckles, and cell phone cases. In Unspooled, Rob Drew traces how a lowly, hissy format that began life in office dictation machines and cheap portable players came to be regarded as a token of intimate expression through music and a source of cultural capital. Drawing on sources ranging from obscure music zines to transcripts of Congressional hearings, Drew examines a moment in the early 1980s when music industry representatives argued that the cassette encouraged piracy. At the same time, 1980s indie rock culture used the cassette as a symbol to define itself as an outsider community. Indie’s love affair with the cassette culminated in the mixtape, which advanced indie’s image as a gift economy. By telling the cassette’s long and winding history, Drew demonstrates that sharing cassettes became an acceptable and meaningful mode of communication that initiated rituals of independent music recording, re-recording, and gifting.

Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
The millions of fans who watch World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) programs each year are well aware of their role in building the narrative of the sport. #WWE: Professional Wrestling in the Digital Age explores the intersections between media, technology, and fandom in WWE's contemporary programming and business practices. In the Reality Era of WWE (2011 to the present), wrestling narratives have increasingly drawn on real-life personalities and events that stretch beyond the story-world created and maintained by WWE. At the same time, the internet and fandom have a greater influence on the company than ever before. By examining various sites of struggle and negotiation between WWE executives and in-ring performers, between the product and its fans, and between the company and the rest of the wrestling industry, the contributors to this volume highlight the role of various media platforms in shaping and disseminating WWE narratives. Treating the company and its product not merely as sports entertainment, but also as a brand, an employer, a company, a content producer, and an object of fandom, #WWE conceptualizes the evolution of professional wrestling's most successful company in the digital era.
