Dear All, On Monday, 1 December 2014 at 5pm there will be a book launch for the two-volume Oxford Handbook of Mobile Music Studies (below my signature you'll find details on the two volumes). Oxford University Press will be hosting the reception. The launch will take place at the Ertegun House, 37A St Giles (just across the road from St John's College). Sumanth Gopinath and I will give a short overview of the project but the event is principally to drink some wine, eat some nibbles, and celebrate the release of the two volumes. We'd be delighted if you could join us. Best wishes, Jason _____ Jason Stanyek Associate Professor of Ethnomusicology Tutorial Fellow, St. John's College University of Oxford Tel: +44 (0)1865 610879 Oxford Hanbook of Mobile Music Studies, Volumes 1 and 2 We'd like to announce that two new volumes on mobile music studies have just been published by Oxford University Press. Edited by Sumanth Gopinath (University of Minnesota) and Jason Stanyek (University of Oxford) and comprising 42 chapters and 500,000 words of text, The Oxford Handbook of Mobile Music Studies (Volume 1 <http://ukcatalogue.oup.com/product/9780195375725.do> and Volume 2<http://ukcatalogue.oup.com/product/9780199913657.do>) examines how electrical technologies and their corresponding economies of scale have rendered music and sound increasingly mobile--portable, fungible and ubiquitous. At once a marketing term, a common mode of everyday-life performance, and an instigator of experimental aesthetics, ‘mobile music’ opens up a space for studying the momentous transformations in the production, distribution, consumption, and experience of music and sound that took place from the late nineteenth to the early twenty-first centuries. The Table of Contents for each volume can be found below.
