Political Music : Communication and Mobilization, Hardback Book

Political Music : Communication and Mobilization Hardback

Edited by Anna Szwed-Walczak, Tomasz Bichta

Part of the Interdisciplinary Studies in Performance series

Hardback

Description

The volume explores the influence that music exerts on emotions and on social and electoral mobilization.

Music shapes social moods, which is crucial both in times of political stabilization and crisis.

As corroborated by the presented research results, music enhances group solidarity, loyalty toward the ruler and toward ideas.

The authors of individual chapters argue that both in past and present contexts, a specific type of music can be distinguished, namely political or engaged music.

The volume aims to address various uses of music in politics in differing political and social circumstances.

For this reason, the authors of the texts included in the volume – political scientists, media scholars, sociologists and historians – analyze Polish political music in various historical periods.
