AbstractThis paper nuances our understanding of the ongoing transition within the North American music industry. It extends the existing analysis of the so‐called "MP3 Crisis" by exploring the ways in which digital technologies have challenged the entrenched power of the major record labels. In particular, new insights are offered based on interviews with music industry executives who have been active in shaping the industry's response to illegal file sharing. The paper also uses interview data from musicians to investigate the implications of restructuring at the macroscale on creative talent at the microscale. As such, it documents the structures and spatial dynamics of digitally driven independent music production in Canada for the first time.

Examines the exercise of power in the Stalinist music world as well as the ways in which composers and ordinary people responded to it. A comparative inquiry into the relationship between music and politics in the German Democratic Republic and Poland from the aftermath of World War II through Stalin's death in 1953, concluding with the slow process of de-Stalinization in the mid-to-late 1990s. This book examines the exercise of power in the Stalinist music world as well as the ways in which composers and ordinary people responded to it. It presents a comparative inquiry into the relationship between music and politics in the German Democratic Republic and Poland from the aftermath of World War II through Stalin's death in 1953, concluding with the slow process of de-Stalinization in the mid- to late-1950s.

Acts of cultural consecration set sacred cultural producers and products apart from their profane counterparts. Some acts of consecration occur retrospectively, such as Allen and Lincoln's examination of the retrospective cultural consecration of American films. In this article, the author extends Allen and Lincoln's findings to the field of popular music by considering the effects of popular, professional, and critical reception on the likelihood that a popular music album was retrospectively consecrated by Rolling Stone magazine.

AbstractThe present study investigated the effectiveness of a music therapy programme in the enhancement of the social skills of children with moderate intellectual disability. Thirty‐two children (age range = 5–10 years) from four intellectual disability centres participated. At each centre, four children were randomly selected to participate in the music therapy programme, while four children were assigned to a non‐music control group programme. One staff member was trained in each group procedure at each centre, and requested to run 30‐min group sessions twice weekly over an 8‐week intervention period. Five social skills were targeted for intervention: turn‐taking, imitation, vocalization, initiation and eye contact. Measures of effectiveness involved comparison of pre‐ and post‐intervention scores on five target skills using a brief social skills test specifically designed for the study. Evaluation forms completed by teachers also provided feedback on the effectiveness of the intervention. The results reflect significant improvements in the five target social skills across both conditions following the 8‐week intervention. However, this difference was found to be independent of the music/non‐music intervention.

A study of the role of music and youth culture in the identification procces of Dutch-Moroccan youth - In haar proefschrift Rhythm and Rhymes of Life: Music and Identification Processes of Dutch-Moroccan Youth legt Miriam Gazzah uit hoe identiteitsprocessen van Nederlands-Marokkaanse jeugd en muziek met elkaar samenhangen. Muziek is voor jongeren een belangrijke uitlaatklep. Nederlands-Marokkaanse jongeren gebruiken diverse muziekgenres in verschillende sociale contexten. In islamitische kringen woedt onder geleerden en gelovigen een hevig debat over de toelaatbaarheid van muziek. Tegenstanders associëren muziek met immoreel gedrag, zoals alcoholgebruik en onwettige relaties tussen mannen en vrouwen. Gazzah laat zien hoe jongeren zich in dit debat positioneren.

This article aims to analyze how the articulations between two important aspects of youth culture, music, and graffiti, can inspire the emergence of political practices connected to the idea of activism in contemporary Brazil. As a case study, we analyzed the present dialogue between the graffiti "Mais amor por favor" and the song "Não Existe Amor em SP", by rapper Criolo, as a potentializing element for the manifestation of collectives in the city of São Paulo at events of character that would signal a force of mobilization that would be even more highlighted in the so-called June Journeys, in 2013. Given this context, we emphasize that both music and street art can be intermediaries in the relationship between youth and territory in the resignification of daily life in large cities, functioning as a language capable of mediating the relationship between youth, territory, and politics. Under an activist orientation, this arrangement is a testament to the fact that such practices reinforce the capacity and power of the logics of on and offline mobilization that surround youth culture in the 21st century.
