| Abstract | "This book explores a neglected aspect of scholarship surrounding the study of song-its relationship with nostalgia and notions of 'home' (in its broadest sense). Each essay in this collection studies these factors from the perspective of 'production', 'text' and 'reception,' either individually or in combination. What is the relationship between nostalgia and creativity? How are nostalgic production techniques used in song construction? Through case studies of nostalgic songs or albums about home and musicological analysis, authors identify nostalgic trends by songwriters, songs and albums. The collection facilitates an examination of nostalgic narratives from subjective perspectives, such as those of audiences"-- Provided by publisher. |
