A form all too often assumed to be transient, commercial and mass-cultural has proven itself durable, tenacious and continually evolving. As such, it has become a crucial component in defining various forms of identity (individualandcollective)asinfluencedbyfactorssuchasnation,class,gender, ethnicity,location/situation,andhistoricalperiod. Pop Music, Culture and Identity investigates the implications of this greatly enhanced status. Particular attention will be paid to issues such as the iconography of celebrity, the ever-expanding archive, the nature of the performance-event, the parameters of generational memory, and the impact of newtechnologiesonglobalmarketing.Inparticular,theseriesaimstohighlight interdisciplinaryapproachesandincorporatetheinformedtestimonyofthefan alongsideachallengingdiversityofacademicmethodologies.
