Fumbling Towards Ecstasy: The Intersectionality of Music and Deviance
Cambridge Scholars Publishing's Guest Edited Collections
Collection Editor: Sylvia M DeSantis
Description:
This volume will explore the avenues in which 20th century musicians, and their enthused audiences, created necessarily deviant cultural movements. From the optimism engendered by the Big Band Era to socially justice-forward Grunge in the 90s, musicians have used their stage power to resist, reward, and recreate long-standing cultural codes.
