Summary:The following seven chapters are based on case studies offering a wide array of geographical locations and methodologies regarding the analysis of popular music, ranging from the musicological (Caporalettis »Esempi di modulazione temporale nella musica dei Soft Machine«) to the media studies-related (Faccis »Vecchi e nuovi media: video e musica >educativa< in Uganda«) and from the teaching-related (Macchiarellas »Studiare il music making oggi. According to Fabbri, the etic categories of amplified and acoustic, religious and secular, sacred and profane, popular and »popolare« seem to continuously contradict themselves and are therefore insufficient for the study of contemporary musical events. [...]the book offers an interesting first Italian approach to popular music studies, presenting a range of realistic attempts towards its academic canonization and future development.
