MUSIC
For the Culture
Hip-Hop and the Fight for Social Justice
Lakeyta M. Bonnette-Bailey and Adolphus G. Belk, Jr.,
Editors

Drawing from diverse approaches and methods, the
contributors in this volume demonstrate that rap music can
positively influence political behavior and fight to change
social injustices. Exploring topics including education, the
Black Lives Matter movement, mass incarceration, electoral
politics, gender and sexuality, and the global struggle for
social justice, the book argues that hip hop is much more
than a musical genre or cultural form: hip hop is a resistance
mechanism.
Lakeyta M. Bonnette-Bailey is Associate Professor of African American
Studies at Georgia State University.
Adolphus G. Belk, Jr. is Professor of Political Science and African American
Studies at Winthrop University.

Sonorous Worlds
Musical Enchantment in Venezuela
Yana Stainova

El Sistema is a nationwide, state-funded music education
program in Venezuela that encompasses 1,210 orchestras
for children and youth and has served as a model in more
than 35 countries around the world. Sonorous Worlds is
an ethnography of the young Venezuelan musicians who
participate in El Sistema, many of whom live in urban
barrios and face everyday gang violence, state repression,
social exclusion, and forced migration in response to
sociopolitical crisis. Stainova’s focus on artistic practice and
“enchantment” allows her to theorize the successes and
failures of political projects through the lens of the everyday
transformations in people’s lives.
Yana Stainova is Assistant Professor in the Department of Anthropology at
McMaster University.

MUSIC
                       Announcing Musics in Motion
Musics in Motion is a book series on the cultural mobility of music that embraces all times
and places. People and musics have always been in motion: migration and diasporic
zones incite the performance of ethnicity, they are sites of contest and creolization, of
cultural memory, of rituals that sustain displaced populations, and in all of these, music
plays a prominent role in embodying community. The series welcomes projects that cross
geographical boundaries, historical eras and disciplines, and look with fresh eyes at how
human movement influenced the history of music in every era, and on every continent.
This series aims to address a wide array of topics, methodologies, and theoretical
approaches to music’s mobility, encouraging monographs produced by music scholars
and contributions about musical mobility from allied disciplines, particularly history,
linguistics, performance studies, and post-colonial studies.

Series Editors: Kay Kaufman Shelemay and Kate van Orden, Harvard University

                                            sounds, material traces, and insights that flow
                                            from a century of negotiation with a difficult
                                            and traumatic past, wherein future-looking

MEDIA STUDIES

    “As the first book dedicated ex-
    clusively to vids, Vidding makes a
    valuable contribution to scholarship
    on fandom, media, and audiences
    and an especially significant feminist
    intervention in scholarly definitions
    of and conversations about remix.”
    — Tisha Turk, Grinnell College

Vidding
A History
Francesca Coppa

Vidding is a well-established remix practice where fans edit an existing film, music video,
TV show, or other performance and set it to music of their choosing. Vids emerged forty
years ago as a complicated technological feat involving capturing footage from TV with a
VCR and syncing with music—and their makers and consumers were almost exclusively
women, many of them queer women. The technological challenges of doing this kind of
work in the 1970s and 80s when vidding began gave rise to a rich culture of collective work,
as well as conventions of creators who gathered to share new work and new techniques.
While the rise of personal digital technology eventually democratized the tools vidders
use, the collective aspect of the culture grew even stronger with the advent of YouTube,
Vimeo, and other channels for sharing work.

Vidding: A History emphasizes vidding as a critical, feminist form of fan practice. Working
outward from interviews, VHS liner notes, convention programs, and mailing list archives,
Coppa offers a rich history of vidding communities as they evolved from the 1970s through
to the present. Built with the classroom in mind, the open-access electronic version of
this book includes over one-hundred vids and an appendix that includes additional close
readings of vids.
Francesca Coppa is Professor of English and Film Studies at Muhlenberg College. She is also a founding member of
the Organization for Transformative Works and an architect of the Archive of Our Own.

           Saving New Sounds
           Podcast Preservation and Historiography
           Jeremy Wade Morris and Eric Hoyt, Editors

           “Saving New Sounds presents a rich array of scholarly analyses
           and displays a welcome historical consciousness—both in
           acknowledging podcasting’s decades-old existence, and in
           foregrounding questions of whose sounds are saved to ensure
           that its past and present remain accessible and legible to future
           generations. Addressing issues of podcasting technology,
           industry, aesthetics, and preservation, its contributors offer
           valuable insights on this ubiquitous but understudied area of
           our contemporary audio culture.”

           Media Reform and the Climate Emergency
           Rethinking Communication in the Struggle for a
           Sustainable Future
           David J. Park

           Award-winning author David J. Park argues that the
           battle against global warming is also a fight for media
           reform. He critically examines how advertising, the
           digital infrastructure, and journalism advance the climate
           emergency and lays out a path of reform to help create a
           more sustainable world. Bound to foster conversations
           among scholars, activists, politicians, and those who work
           in the communication industries, this book rethinks mass
           communication and highlights how immediate reform is
           needed in the struggle for a sustainable planet.
           David J. Park is Associate Professor in the Department of Communication at
           Florida International University.

THEATER AND PERFORMANCE
Sampling and Remixing Blackness in Hip-Hop
Theater and Performance
Nicole Hodges Persley
In a cultural moment where racial identity is performed
through Hip-Hop culture’s resistance to the status quo and
complicity in maintaining it, Hodges Persley asks us to
consider who has the right to claim Hip-Hop’s blackness
when blackness itself is a complicated mixtape that offers
both consent and resistance to transgressive and inspiring
acts of performance.
“Hodges Persley’s passion for Hip Hop as a cultural
aesthetic and methodology is second only to the fascinating
case studies she analyzes. Like no other scholar before her,
her multimodal engagement of Hip Hop pushes the field of
theater studies and race to new heights.”

Working Backstage
A Cultural History and Ethnography of
=Technical Theater Labor
Christin Essin
Illuminating the history of this typically hidden workforce,
the book provides uncommon insights into the business of
Broadway and its backstage working relationships among
cast and crew members.
“Working Backstage is groundbreaking, fresh, and
incisive . . . the depth, breadth, and richness of the
ethnographic research underpinning the book’s arguments
is extraordinary. The author’s personal connection to the
profession, her self-awareness and introspection about
women’s and men’s technical work in theater add value and
richness to the text.”

THEATER AND PERFORMANCE
               The Lines Between the Lines
               How Stage Directions Affect Embodiment
               Bess Rowen

               This book focuses on how playwrights have written stage
               directions that engage readers, production team members,
               and scholars in a process of embodied creation in order to
               determine meaning. The tools provided in this book are
               as useful for the theater scholar as they are for the theater
               audience member, casting director, and actor.

               “Engages an incredibly rich and under-explored topic, and
               extends the existing literature on the subject in significant
               and meaningful ways. The book is chock full of really
               outstanding case studies and close readings... It will be a
               go-to text for writing about dramatic secondary text.”

               Moving Islands
               Contemporary Performance and the Global Pacific
               Diana Looser

               “A rare model of rigorous, original and highly accomplished
               scholarship. The book’s canvass is vast, in the number and
               variety of artistic works examined, in historical depth and,
               above all, in geographical reach. Looser has managed to
               extend our understanding of postcolonial and intercultural
               performance and at the same time shift current paradigms
               in how comparative, interdisciplinary analyses of embodied
               arts praxis might be executed across different scales.”

Being Human during COVID
Kristin Ann Hass, Editor

Being Human During COVID documents the first year of
the pandemic in real time, bringing together humanities
scholars from the University of Michigan to address what
it feels like to be human during the COVID-19 crisis. Over
the course of the pandemic, the questions that occupy the
humanities have become shared life-or-death questions
about how human societies work and how culture
determines our collective fate. The contributors in this
collection draw on scholarly expertise and lived experience
to try to make sense of the unfamiliar present in works that
range from traditional scholarly essays, to personal essays,
to visual art projects. The resulting book is shot-through
with fear and dread and frustration and prejudice, and, on a
few occasions, with a thrilling sense of hope.
Kristin Ann Hass is Associate Professor of American Culture at the University
of Michigan.
