Description

Words, Music, and the Popular: Global Perspectives on Intermedial Relations opens up the notion of the popular, drawing useful links between wide-ranging aspects of popular culture, through the lens of the interaction between words and music.

This collection of essays explores the relation of words and music to issues of the popular.

It asks: What is popularity or ‘the’ popular and what role(s) does music play in it?

What is the function of the popular, and is ‘pop’ a system?

How can popularity be explained in certain historical and political contexts?

How do class, gender, race, and ethnicity contribute to and complicate an understanding of the ‘popular’?

What of the popularity of verbal art forms? How do they interact with music at particular times and throughout different media?
