Music Generations in the Digital Age : Social Practices of Listening and Idols in Japan Hardback
by Rafal Zaborowski
Part of the Transmedia series
Hardback
Description
What do we do when we listen? The act of engagement with music in everyday life may seem simple on the surface but participation, interpretation, circulation and cultural production in the digital age are more complex and entangled than ever before.
It is especially so in Japan, with its vast multimedia idol and vocaloid industries.
This unique ethnographic work at the intersection of cultural, media and music studies covers a wide spectrum of music-related activities embedded in the daily lives of two Japanese cohorts.
The varied case studies, including teen idol groups and virtual idols, aid the detailed examination of the relation between music, generation, and society.
