Reggae Studies in a Global Context

Guest Editors:
Carolyn Cooper and Leonardo Vidigal (Universidade Federal de Minas 
Gerais - UFMG, Brazil)

Reggae is a genre of popular music that originated on the Caribbean 
island of Jamaica and which has an ever-growing global presence. 
Radiating from the Jamaican centre, reggae has been 'glocalised' - 
dispersed globally and adapted in diverse local contexts of consumption 
and transformation. A transcendent preoccupation of glocalised reggae is 
the politics and pragmatics of 'authenticity'. The languages of Jamaican 
popular music, both literal and metaphorical, are first imitated in 
pursuit of an undeniable 'originality'.

Over time, as the music is indigenized, the Jamaican model loses its 
authority to varying degrees. The revolutionary ethos of reggae music is 
translated into local languages that articulate the particular politics 
of new cultural contexts. The echoes of the Jamaican source gradually 
fade. It is a polyphonic, culture-specific authenticity that now 
resounds across the globe.

A substantial body of academic literature on reggae is now established 
globally, with many scholars studying this phenomenon with a 
transcultural approach and covering a wide range of inter/disciplines. 
For this special issue of Interactions, we invite original articles on 
Reggae Music, from its emergence and development in Jamaica to the 
transformations the music has undergone in its global dispersal.

We are especially interested, but not limited to, the following themes:
- History of Reggae
- Reggae as culture
- Reggae Music and Media
- Musical and sociological analysis of Reggae Music
- Reggae's Influence on Global Popular Music
- Global manifestations of Reggae Music
- The Bob Marley phenomenon
- Sound-Systems and other Reggae Music collectives
- Reggae Films and videos
- Reggae Music in the context of creative industries
