Produktbeschreibung
In this important new book, Peter J. Martin explores the interface between musicological and sociological approaches to the analysis of music, and in doing so reveals the differing foundations of cultural studies and sociological perspectives more generally.   Building on the arguments of his earlier book "Sounds and Society," Dr Martin initially contrasts text-based attempts to develop a 'social' analysis of music with sociological studies of musical activities in real cultural and institutional contexts.  It is argued that the difficulties encountered by some of the 'new' musicologists in their efforts to introduce a social dimension to their work are often a result of their unfamiliarity with contemporary sociological discourse.
At a time when the 'social' analysis of music is receiving unprecedented attention, this important new book demonstrates ways in which sociological ideas can make a distinct contribution to understanding music. In doing so, it also highlights the contrasts between a sociological perspective and those emanating from cultural studies and musicology.
