Relocating Popular Music uses the lenses of colonialism and tourism to analyse various types of movements of popular music, such as transporting music from one place or historical period to another, hybridising it with a different style and furnishing it with a new meaning. This accessible and jargon-free collection discusses music in relation to music video, film, graphic arts, fashion and architecture, while covering a wide variety of phenomena from all over the world. It includes, the changing role of rock music in Serbia after the Balkan wars, the function of Abbey Road Studios in music tourism in England, the relation between minimalist techno and classical minimalism, and transforming the meaning of Detroit in Eminem's music videos. The authors argue that popular music is by its nature 'unpure', and studying it means studying its relocations.
