This book provides an interdisciplinary focus on music, memory, and ageing by examining how they intersect outside of a formal therapeutic context or framework and by offering a counter-narrative to age as decline. It contributes to the development of qualitative research methodologies by utilizing and reflecting on methods for studying music, memory, and ageing across diverse and interconnected contexts. Using the notion of inheritance to trouble its core themes of music, memory, ageing, and methodology, it examines different ways in which the concept of inheritance is understood but also how it commonly refers to the practice of passing on, and the connections this establishes across time and space. It confronts the ageist discourses that associate popular music predominantly with youth and that focus narrowly, and almost exclusively, on music's therapeutic function for older adults. By presenting research which examines various intersections of music and ageing outside of a therapeutic context or framework, the book brings a much-needed intervention.

This essay builds on previous studies of the “translanguaging” practices of members of the Montreal Hip Hop community (Low & Sarkar, 2014; Sarkar & Low, 2012) to explore how the challenge to linguistic norms in Quebec is also a challenge to social and identity norms. Our analysis is based on interviews with young musicians attending a community recording studio program in Montreal, the studio’s social media presence, and a track created in collaboration with youth in Paris. Through their relationships in the studio as well as their music, the youth de- and reterritorialize their identities (Papastergiadis, 2000), mobilizing local and global Hip Hop cultural references and communities in ways that challenge dominant narratives of belonging in Quebec and Canada.

The caesura in musical production caused by recent global lockdowns has made contemporary music’s crisis of societal relevancy more apparent than ever. Bringing together interviews with music curators, musicians, activist networks and institutional leaders, this book details existing practices and approaches, showing that change is possible but only if the recent wave of interest in curatorial practices, diversity and divestment from a white, European bourgeois aesthetic are taken seriously by the musical establishment. This expanded second edition of Taking the Temperature adds a new preface, five new interviews, as well as followups with previous interviewees. Radiating out from the Ultima Festival and Oslo, ..

Leonard Cohen's troubled relationship with God is here mapped onto his troubled relationships with sex and politics. Analysing Covenantal theology and its place in Cohen's work, this book is the first to trace a consistent theology across sixty years of Cohen's writing, drawing on his Jewish heritage and its expression in his lyrics and poems.Cohen's commitment to covenant, and his anger at this God who made us so prone to failing it, undergird the faith, frustration, and sardonic taunting of Cohen's work. Both his faith and ire are traced through: · Cohen's unorthodox use of Jewish and Christian imagery · His writings about women, politics, and the Holocaust · His final theology, You Want It Darker, released three weeks before his death.

En plus d’offrir un portrait des productions culturelles queer au Québec tant francophones qu’anglophones, dont certaines autochtones, cet ouvrage s’attarde à révéler le caractère queer de celles qui ne le sont pas de facto. Il se présente comme un manuel de référence sur le sujet, avec des essais critiques – qui portent autant sur la littérature et le monde du spectacle que sur les arts médiatiques ou la presse gay – et des textes expérimentaux – fictions, dessins, récits autobiographiques. Plus de 27 œuvres de fiction publiées entre 1965 et 2017 y sont analysées sous différents aspects, avec des méthodologies diverses, mais toujours sous l’éclairage queer (un terme à la nature instable, paradoxale, que calque la forme éclatée de l’ouvrage). Du polyamour à l’inceste, en passant par le racisme, l’urbanité, le suicide, le non-désir d’enfant, l’alimentation ou les processus de production, le queer met en scène des personnages hétéros ou homosexuels, intersexués, cis, trans, travailleur·euse·s du sexe, gros et plusieurs autres… Cette juxtaposition d’états, de genres, de thèmes, de formes et de pratiques constitue l’une des forces de ce livre qui intéressera bien sûr un lectorat d’intellectuel·le·s et de personnes issues des communautés LGBTQIA2S+, mais pas seulement. Il deviendra, sans nul doute, une ressource indispensable pour l’enseignement de nouvelles perspectives dans le cadre des sciences humaines et sociales.
