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. 650 0 Electronic dance music |xHistory and criticism. |=^A599508 650 0 Electronica (Music) |xHistory and criticism. |=^A1097875 650 0 Disco music |xHistory and criticism. |=^A670570 700 1 Butler, Mark J. |q(Mark Jonathan), |d1970- |eeditor. |=^A599507 830 0 Library of essays on popular music. |=^A1093281 949 ML3540.5 .E44 2012 |ojmpl |i30372016408715 994 C0 |bERE 596 3 998 2798692 998 2798692
