[ecrea] Sheila Whiteley: "Countercultures: Utopias, Dystopias, Anarchy" (Volume! the French journal of popular music studies)

Out now!

*Volume ! n°9-2, Sheila Whiteley (ed.), "Countercultures: Utopias, 
Dystopias, Anarchy"
+ "Metal Studies" book reviews section*

This second issue of Volume! deals with the *sixties counterculture's 
modernist* and utopian aspects, as well as its *dystopian and 
apocalyptic ones*, with Charles Manson's shadow and the ambivalent Jesus 
Movement. We then examine the era's musical *experimentations*, with the 
"*freak" movement*, *sonic anarchy*, the *Grateful Dead*'s 
improvizations and *Yoko Ono*'s voice.

A big "*metal studies*" section assesses this "discipline's" recent 
contribution to the analysis of popular music.

An *English version* of both "countercultures" issues will be published 
by *Ashgate*: Sheila Whiteley and Jedediah Sklower (eds.), 
Countercultures and Popular Music, May 2014.
