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.

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.

Ageing and memory - two aspects of life everybody has to face eventually. The contributions to this volume explore the cultural mediations of these categories. Through a series of approaches focused on practices and acts of memory, narratives, reminiscence, representation and collective memory, they seek to better understand and critically reflect on how ageing is experienced in variegated ways across the lifespan. By covering a variety of phenomena, from biopics, music by the elderly, and artefacts, among other, they all contribute to further the understanding of memory as a cultural process always in the making - situated in particular contexts, and shaped by its material conditions of existence.

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.

Taking over the airwaves in a small neighbourhood in Montréal was the first step in the creation of the Temporary Autonomous Radio, a pirate station open to women and serving its community when needed. From Montréal, founder Marian van der Zon moved TAR to the West Coast, temporarily on the airways in Victoria, Nanaimo, and rural Vancouver Island. Pirate radio under five watts is usually overlooked in Canada. Beyond music festivals, TAR serves to provide information about issues not often covered in mainstream media. Most importantly, it allows women to be themselves and explore their identities through a non-gendered medium

Three volunteer hosts and programmers of a feminist music show at a campus-community radio station, Anna Leventhal, Catherine McInnis, and Angela Wilson, sat down in 2008 to chat about feminist radio. They discussed the concept of a feminist music show and the possibilities and limitations of female-only spaces; the “fem-con” concept that campus-community radio stations be mandated to play a certain amount of music by women, in the same way they are mandated by the CRTC to play Canadian content; the transformative social and political potential of community radio; and the inclusion of trans and gender-nonconforming voices on the show.

Though they no longer call themselves Top 40, popular music radio stations remain present on the dial today, complete with loud, mostly male DJs, hoping to attract a mainly female audi ence. Using the talk on two Montréal music stations, which hire mainly male announcers who select music assumed to fit wom en’s tastes, Christine Maki examines the continuing perception that women’s voices aren’t low or authoritative enough and that emotional issues prevent them from presenting difficult news stories. Her conclusion: the overall medium remains relatively unchanged over the decades, despite massive evolution in the wider media landscape.

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, ..
