Exploring the Networked Worlds of Popular

This book assesses previous sociological and cultural studies attempts to analyse and theorise worlds of cultural production and in particular worlds of popular music production. It offers and develops a new theoretical matrix that can illuminate these trends in a more complex and instructive way. The concept of milieux cultures combines theoretical strands drawn from phenomenology, Bourdieu's reflexive sociology and globalisation theory with new and original case study work on a variety of cities and musical worlds (Bristol, London, New York, San Francisco, Berlin ' Trip-hop, Hip-hop, Industrial, Neo-folk) to provide a multi-layered theory that operates by acknowledging a number of different experiential registers.
