This collected volume brings together leading figures in the field of German Studies, popular music studies, and cultural studies at large to survey the sociopolitical impact of music on conceptions of the German state and national identity, gender and sexuality, and transnational cultural production and consumption, expanding on the ways in which sounds, technologies, media practices, and exchanges of popular music provide a unique glimpse into the cultural dynamics of postwar Germany UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9781789204735?locatt=mode:legacy UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781789204735 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781789204735/original ER -
