The Revolution Will Be Spotified (eBook, ePUB)

Music as a Rhetorical Mode of Resistance

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The Revolution Will Be Spotified investigates the rhetorical strategies present in mainstream popular music and how those strategies are implemented to empower resistance. Case studies across the genres of popular music in the West are surveyed throughout the book to consider the power of music as a rhetorical tool during cultural flashpoints and times of crisis. Carey analyzes songs such as "This is America" by Childish Gambino, "Alien Superstar" by Beyoncé, "Thought Contagion" by Muse, and more to consider the impact of contemporary music on culture and social justice movements. Scholars of rhetoric and composition, communication, cultural studies, and ethnomusicology will find this book particularly interesting.
