[Commlist] New Book: Deindustrialisation and Popular Music. Punk and ‘Post-Punk’ in Manchester, Düsseldorf, Torino and Tampere

New book *Deindustrialisation and Popular Music. Punk and ‘Post-Punk’ in 
Manchester, Düsseldorf, Torino and Tampere*
by Giacomo Bottà
Rowman & Littlefield Publishers / Rowman & Littlefield International

The book is a comparative study of popular music cultures in the 
above-mentioned cities in the late 1970s early 1980s and of their 
relation to the industrial city as imaginary, as heritage and as 
everyday reality. Popular music genres, such as hardcore punk, house, 
industrial, post-punk and heavy metal, share a common origin in decaying 
industrial cities. All these genres have been canonized and understood 
as “scores” for grey, gloomy, decaying urban industrial environments or 
for their evocation, but is there an organic relationship between 
deindustrialisation and this kind of music production?
