The Intellect Handbook of Popular Music Methodologies

An extensive overview of popular music methodologies.

The Intellect Handbook of Popular Music Methodologies attempts a comprehensive overview of methodological approaches within the field of popular music studies. Alongside contributions from key thinkers already established in popular music studies, the strength of the collection lies in its inclusion of many new and emerging writers in the field. Therefore, the collection incorporates a wide range of practitioners, pedagogues, and academics from across the disciplines, and thus draws from a diversity of methodological approaches. As a result, this will be the first comprehensive handbook of popular music methodologies.
