David Hesmondhalgh Music Streaming around the World review en recensie
- “This book challenges the assumption that music streaming is a singular, homogenizing phenomenon predefined by the West. Instead it conceptualizes music streaming as a plurality of experiences, processes, and dynamics shaped by the richness of musical cultures—that is, by the diverse ways music is produced, distributed, and consumed around the world. Combining interdisciplinary insight with empirical depth and theoretical rigor, this book offers an essential rethinking of a crucial issue in culture and technology studies: how music streaming today embodies power inequalities that can be fully understood only through global perspectives.” (Ignacio Siles, author of Living with Algorithms)
- “A timely and important volume. Music Streaming around the World investigates and questions presuppositions about the coloniality of this newly widespread form of recorded music distribution. It shows that, despite the pervasiveness of platforms and individualized listening, streaming’s impact on the world’s recorded music and its consumption has been uneven, and that this unevenness should temper and qualify grand pronouncements about the current state of an industry dominated by wealthy nations.” (Sumanth Gopinath, author of The Ringtone Dialectic)
