Nocturnes: Popular Music and the Night By: Geoff Stahl Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan Print ISBN: 9783319997858, 3319997858 eText ISBN: 9783319997865, 3319997866 Copyright year: 2019 Format: EPUB Available from $ 109.00 USD SKU: 9783319997865 The night and popular music have long served to energise one another, such that they appear inextricably bound together as trope and topos. This history of reciprocity has produced a range of resonant and compelling imaginaries, conjured up through countless songs and spaces dedicated to musical life after dark. Nocturnes: Popular Music and the Night is one of the first volumes to examine the relationship between night and popular music. Its scope is interdisciplinary and geographically diverse. The contributors gathered here explore how the problems, promises, and paradoxes of the night and music play off of one another to produce spaces of solace and sanctuary as well as underpinning strategies designed to police, surveil and control movements and bodies. This edited collection is a welcome addition to debates and discussions about the cultures of the night and how popular music plays a continuing role in shaping them.
