[ecrea] new book: German Pop Music. A Companion

Uwe Schütte (ed.)

*German Pop Music. A Companion*

Companions to Contemporary German Culture 6

De Gruyter, Berlin/Boston

The development of German pop music represents a fascinating cultural 
mirror to the history of post-war Germany, reflecting sociological 
changes and political developments. While film studies are an already 
established discipline, German pop music is currently emerging as a new 
and exciting field of academic study.

This pioneering companion is the first volume to provide a comprehensive 
overview of the subject, charting the development of German pop music 
from the post-war period 'Schlager' to the present 'Diskursrock'. 
Written by acknowledged experts from Germany, the UK and the US, the 
various chapters provide overviews of pertinent genres as well as 
focusing on major bands such as CAN, Kraftwerk or Rammstein. While these 
acts have shaped the international profile of German pop music, the 
volume also undertakes in-depth examinations of the specific German 
contributions to genres such as punk, industrial, rap and techno.

The survey is concluded by an interview with the leading German pop 
theorist Diedrich Diederichsen. The volume constitutes an indispensable 
handbook for any student, teacher and scholar in the area of German 
studies interested in contemporary popular culture.
