When Genres Collide is a provocative history that rethinks the relationship between jazz and rock through the lens of the two oldest surviving and most influential American popular music periodicals: Down Beat and Rolling Stone. Writing in 1955, Duke Ellington argued that the new music called rock 'n' roll “is the most raucous form of jazz, beyond a doubt.” So why did jazz and rock subsequently become treated as separate genres? The rift between jazz and rock (and jazz and rock scholarship) is based on a set of received assumptions about their fundamental differences, but there are other ways popular music history could have been written. By offering a fresh examination of key historical moments when the trajectories and meanings of jazz and rock intersected, overlapped, or collided, it reveals how music critics constructed an ideological divide between jazz and rock that would be replicated in American musical discourse for decades to follow.

Singing a Hindu Nation is a study of ranullnullriya kirtan, a western Indian performance medium that combines song, Hindu philosophical discourse, and nationalist storytelling. Beginning during the anti-colonial movement of the late nineteenth-century, performers of ranullnullriya kirtan led masses of Marathi-speaking people in temples and streets, and they have continued to preach and sing nationalism as devotion in the post-colonial era, and into the twenty-first century. In this book, author Anna Schultz demonstrates how, through this particular form of musical performance, the political becomes devotional, and explores why it motivates people to action and violence. Through both historical and ethnographic studies, Schultz shows that ranullnullriya kirtan has been especially successful in combining these two realms because kirtankars perform as representatives of the divine sage Narad, thereby infusing their nationalist messages with ritual weight. By speaking and singing in regional idioms with rich associations for Maharashtrian congregations, they use music to combine political and religious signs in ways that seem natural and desirable, promoting embodied experiences of nationalist devotion. As the first monograph on music and Hindu-nationalism, Singing a Hindu Nation presents a rare glimpse into the lives and performance worlds of nationalists on the margins of all-India political parties and cultural organizations, and is an essential resource for ethnomusicologists, as well as scholars of South Asian studies, religion, and political theory.

The Oxford Handbook of Music and the Middlebrow takes a fresh look at the history of nineteenth- and twentieth-century music. Offering an alternative to the traditional focus on either highbrow modernism on the one hand or lowbrow popular music on the other, its novel view centers on the wealth of previously overlooked products and practices that bridged the space between these cultural extremes. While seminal attempts to recover middlebrow culture came from literary critics and historians, middlebrow studies is now a burgeoning field within musicology. As the first essay collection on this topic, this handbook has two aims: first, it seeks to explore the middlebrow as a historical phenomenon, excavating the kinds of critical writings, marketing practices, and compositional styles with which it was associated. By reanimating a range of musical practices and products--from symphonic concerts to Broadway musicals, opera criticism to rock journalism, and modern jazz to pop-rock--the contributors investigate how artists, critics, and audiences breached the divide from both above and below. In the process, the handbook chapters push the boundaries of middlebrow studies and demonstrate the category's relevance outside of the mid-twentieth-century Anglophone world by delving into the nineteenth century, interrogating the present day, and looking to Germany, Russia, and beyond. The handbook's second aim is to complicate the disciplinary divisions that have flowed from the entrenched oppositions between high and low genres. Breaking new ground by bringing together scholars of classical and popular music, these chapters trace common middlebrow themes across traditional disciplinary boundaries. Across this broad vista, contributors account for the kinds of syntheses, overlaps, and juxtapositions that made the cultural middle such a richly textured and endlessly contested terrain.

Genre Blending Effects explores the dynamic interplay of comedy, tragedy, and experimental techniques in dramatic works, revealing how these combinations shape the theatrical experience and influence audience interpretation. The book highlights that genre serves as an implicit contract with the audience, establishing expectations that, when subverted, can create unique dramatic possibilities. One intriguing aspect is how tragicomedy, blending tragic and comic elements, can offer nuanced perspectives on human suffering, deepening emotional complexity. The book posits that genre blending is not merely a stylistic choice but a powerful tool for exploring complex themes and challenging societal norms. The study examines how this fusion impacts narrative structure and character development, moving from theoretical underpinnings of genre blending to detailed case studies of plays that successfully integrate contrasting elements. Ultimately, the book shows how audience perception is integral to the genre-blending equation and offers guidelines for playwrights and directors to create impactful works.

Genre Crossover explores the increasing trend of genre blending in film and television, revealing how filmmakers strategically combine diverse conventions to create innovative hybrid narratives. This book argues that genre crossover is not just a stylistic choice but a powerful tool for exploring complex social issues and subverting audience expectations, ultimately redefining storytelling. One intriguing fact is the emergence of combinations like Western-Sci-Fi, showcasing the vast possibilities of genre fusion; another is how these blends reflect underlying societal anxieties and cater to diverse audiences. The book begins with a foundational understanding of genre theory, questioning rigid classifications in media. It then delves into case studies of films and television series, demonstrating successful genre crossover and how it shapes plot and character development. Finally, it analyzes the broader cultural implications, emphasizing how these narratives serve as potent cultural commentary. Through film and television criticism, media studies, and audience reception analysis, it highlights the strategic intent behind genre blending, making it a valuable resource for students, scholars, and media professionals.
