Book excerpt: The similarities between the chanson française and the canzone d'autore have been often noted but never fully explored. Both genres are national forms which involve the figure of the singer-songwriter, both experienced their golden age of production in the post-World War II period and both are enduringly popular, still accounting for a large proportion of record sales in their respective countries. Rachel Haworth looks beyond these superficial similarities, and investigates the nature of the relationship between the two genres. Taking a multidisciplinary approach, encompassing textual analysis of song lyrics, cultural history and popular music studies, Haworth considers the different ways in which French and Italian song is thought about, written about and constructed. Through an in-depth study of the discourse surrounding chanson and the canzone d'autore, the volume analyses the development of the genres' rules and rhetoric, identifying the key themes of Authority, Authenticity and Influence. The book finally considers the legacy of major artists, looking at modern perspectives on Georges Brassens, Jacques Brel, Léo Ferré, Fabrizio De André and Giorgio Gaber, ultimately affording a deeper understanding of the notions of quality and value in the context of chanson française and the canzone d'autore.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is part of an ongoing transnational turn in cultural history. Studies on the history of urban popular culture and the entertainment industries increasingly engage with the European or global circulation of genres, actors, and shows, especially during the period of massive growth and expansion of the sector from the 1870s to the 1930s. Nevertheless, a large part of this research remains focused on exchanges between Western and Central European, and North American metropolises. To provide a fuller picture of the emergence and cross-border transfer of different genres of popular culture, this volume investigates Northern, East Central, and Southern European cities and their relations with each other and the West. The authors analyze the mediating agents, transnational networks, and local responses to new forms of entertainment from Madrid to Vyborg, and from Istanbul to Reykjavík. These examples re-focus the history of urban popular culture in Europe in view of multidirectional transfers and a wider range of regional experiences. Urban Popular Culture and Entertainment will appeal to researchers and students alike interested in the history of popular culture in modern societies, particularly those studying urban centers in Europe, and their transnational and transregional connections.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Singer-Songwriter in Europe is the first book to explore and compare the multifaceted discourses and practices of this figure within and across linguistic spaces in Europe and in dialogue with spaces beyond continental borders. The concept of the singer-songwriter is significant and much-debated for a variety of reasons. Many such musicians possess large and zealous followings, their output often esteemed politically and usually held up as the nearest popular music gets to high art, such facets often yielding sizeable economic benefits. Yet this figure, per se, has been the object of scant critical discussion, with individual practitioners celebrated for their isolated achievements instead. In response to this lack of critical knowledge, this volume identifies and interrogates the musical, linguistic, social and ideological elements that configure the singer-songwriter and its various equivalents in Europe, such as the French auteur-compositeur-interprète and the Italian cantautore, since the late 1940s. Particular attention is paid to the emergence of this figure in the post-war period, how and why its contours have changed over time and space subsequently, cross-cultural influences, and the transformative agency of this figure as regards party and identity politics in lyrics and music, often by means of individual case studies. The book's polycentric approach endeavours to redress the hitherto Anglophone bias in scholarship on the singer-songwriter in the English-speaking world, drawing on the knowledge of scholars from across Europe and from a variety of academic disciplines, including modern language studies, musicology, sociology, literary studies and history.

This book was released on 2017-11-08 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the face of the contested legacy of engagement in the Francophone context, this interdisciplinary collection demonstrates that French and Francophone writers, artists, intellectuals and film-makers are using their work to confront unforeseen and unprecedented challenges, campaigns and causes in a politically uncertain post-9/11 world. Composed of eleven essays and a contextualising introduction, this volume is interdisciplinary in its treatment of engagement in a variety of forms, as it reassesses the relationship between different types of cultural production and society as it is played out in the twenty-first century. With a focus on both the development of different cultural forms (Part 1) and on the particular crises that have attracted the attention of cultural practitioners (Part 2), this volume maps and analyses some of the ways in which cultural texts of all kinds are being used to respond to, engage with and challenge crises in the contemporary Francophone world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation reports the findings of two experiments with a pretest/posttest design that investigates whether listening to/working with songs or poems does play a role in the acquisition of second language verb forms. Lozanov (1978) incorporated various styles of classical music in an attempt to stimulate learners to integrate the new information. Jolly (1975) believes there is a link between linguistics and musicology, and suggests that the use of songs in the foreign language classroom reflects the inherent rhythmic nature of life itself. Researchers (Jackendoff & Lerdahl, 1980; Sloboda, 1985) have focused on the importance of music and memory because songs have repeated lyrics and rhythm, which they view as tools for learning because of their memory stimuli. Murphey (1990) refers to this as the song-stuck-in-my-head (SSIMH) phenomenon. For these reasons, some have claimed that songs can be used to teach vocabulary and grammatical structures, pronunciation, and aspects of French and Francophone culture (Abrate, 1983; Arleo, 2000; Hamblin, 1983). For the two experiments, two groups of third semester and fourth semester college learners of French were exposed to the same language input: one received this input through song; the other group listened to the words of the song read as a poem (i.e. without music). The studies examined the effects of song (i.e. lyrics and music) on grammar acquisition, and specifically on the conjugation of the following verb forms: present, compound past, imperfect, future, and conditional. Each of the five songs focused on one of the selected verb forms. An immediate and a delayed post-test (3 weeks) compared the results of the two groups on grammatical accuracy. The students also completed a questionnaire regarding the use of songs and/or poems in the classroom. Analysis of the results of Experiment 1 shows that the group of students who listened to songs performed with more grammatical accuracy on the immediate posttest on all three verb forms (present, future, conditional). For the delayed posttest, statistical significance was seen on the present and conditional forms. In addition, the qualitative analysis of the attitude questionnaire reveals that students reacted positively to the implementation of songs in the classroom and requested more song use in the future. Analysis of the results of Experiment 2 did not demonstrate statistical significance for any of the three verb forms (present, compound past, imperfect). This experiment, therefore, demonstrated songs' limitations on helping students learn verb forms. Although students may enjoy listening to songs in the classroom, these experiments demonstrate that songs may not serve as an effective pedagogical tool for teaching verb forms.
