Title: Afterword: Reflections on Popular Music, Place, and Globalization
Abstract: As an area of popular and academic interest, the particular nexus of popular music, cities, and globalization continues, and will continue, to generate much discussion, within academia and beyond. This volume originated from conversations among the co-editors about popular music, its histories, and places. As we agreed in our initial conversations, popular music involves highly contested practices in equally highly contested places. Some popular music makes a claim for authenticity, some genres seek (or purport) to scare the bourgeoisie, some aim for respectability as art, and others become places where young people and other marginalized social groups can find identity and belonging. Across the world, popular music is both a harbinger of plastic, commodified leisure and a site of local creative reimaginings and appropriations.
