Pop-rock music and cultural globalization
Ore 17.00
Laboratorio di Filologia musicale, Dipartimento di Lettere e Filosofia, Via Tommaso Gar 14
In a process that lasted for several decades, starting in the 1960s, pop-rock music has been domesticated and indigenized to become local music in many countries of the world. This talk will present a book project in cultural sociology that examined the “pop-rockization” of world popular music.
