Paperback. Condition: New. Living Genres in Late Modernity rehears the American 1970s through the workings of its musical genres. Exploring stylistic developments from the late 1960s through the early 1980s, including soul, funk, disco, pop, the nocturne, and the concerto, Charles Kronengold treats genres as unstable constellations of works, people, practices, institutions, technologies, money, conventions, forms, ideas, and multisensory experiences. What these genres share is a significant cultural moment: they arrive just after "the sixties" and are haunted by a sense of belatedness, loss, or doubt, even as they embrace narratives of progress or abundance. These genres give us reasons-and means-to examine our culture's self-understandings. Through close readings and large-scale mappings of cultural and stylistic patterns, the book's five linked studies reveal how genres help construct personal and cultural identities that are both partial and overlapping, that exist in tension with one another, and that we experience in ebbs and flows.…

Hardback. Condition: Mint. Dust Jacket Condition: Mint. First Edition. THE JAMES BOND SONGS Pop Anthems of Late Capitalism. Adrian Daub and Charles Kronengold. Oxford University Press, London. 2015 First edition ISBN 9780190234522 242pp Illustrated Hardback. This mint unread copy is bound in cloth covered boards with bright gilt titling to the spine, tight, white, bright and square. The unclipped dust wrapper is also in mint condition. Starting with 1964's Goldfinger, every James Bond film has followed the same ritual, and so has its audience. After an exciting action sequence the screen goes black and the viewer spends three long minutes absorbing abstract opening credits and a song that sounds like it wants to return to 1964. In The James Bond Songs authors Adrian Daub and Charles Kronengold use the genre to trace not only a changing cultural landscape, but also evolving conceptions of what a pop song is. They argue that the story of the Bond song is the story of the ambiguous end of the pop song. Each chapter discusses a particular segment of the Bond canon and contextualizes it in its era's music and culture. But the book also asks how Bond and his music reflected and influenced our feelings about such topics as masculinity, race, money, aging, and capitalism. The chapter on "Skyfall," for instance, asks why Adele's song is the first Bond song ever to use a full back-up chorus; the discussion of "You Only Live Twice" wonders how young or how old James Bond is, and how young or how old we are in listening to his songs; in the chapter on "Die Another Day," the authors trace who has been speaking in the various songs' lyrics over the decades -- the Bond girls first, then the villains, finally Bond himself. Through these individual pieces the book presents the Bond song as the perfect anthem of late capitalism. The Bond songs want to talk about the fulfilment that comes from fast cars, shaken Martinis and mindless sex, but their unstable speakers, subjects and addressees actually undercut the logic of the lifestyle James Bond is sworn to defend. The book is an invitation to think critically about pop music, about genre, and about the political aspects of popular culture in the twentieth century and beyond. Ref JJJ2.…
