Book Abstract:
This edited collection analyzes popular music artefacts such as lyrics
and song titles (textscape), sounds, melodies, rhythms (soundscape),
visual images in record covers, videos and merchandise (landscape) to
make sense of the ‘Imaginary cities’ portrayed by a variety of music
cultures from L.A. The aim is to establish a dialogue between music
cultures in L.A and selected urban themes (ex: feminist urbanism, social
upheaval, etc.) and to connect this discussion to the reality of L.A at
the time. We argue that music cultures create ‘Imaginary cities’ but are
also constitutive of the urban fabric. The collection is exploring this
two-way process. It also includes semi-directed interviews with
musicians, music writers and urban theorists to further develop this
dialogue between music cultures and urban studies. Ultimately, the
collection speculates on the future of Los Angeles as a city and its
associated music cultures given the current urban challenges of the
global pandemic and climate change.
Keywords: music cultures, media studies, urban studies, Los Angeles.
