    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisProducing and Consuming the Craft Beer Movement is an ethnographic analysis of the craft beer movement and its rapid development as an industry that articulated a different set of values: celebrating, quality, community, and good taste.This book will provide an excellent foundation for considering craft beer and an entrepreneurial practice that produces other forms of value beyond monetary value. The craft beer movement has been an important movement for thinking about contemporary consumer culture, and how that consumer culture might develop a very different set of values and priorities from those of the dominant consumer culture that is created by large-scale industries focused on the instrumental values of profit and efficiency. Located in one site, the ethnography is situated within the larger context of the rise of digital media, the evolution of cities, and the latest stage of the capitalist marketplace. The book is distinctive as it is ethnographic in iTable of ContentsChapter 1 – Introduction: The Craft Community IntroductionWhat Is Craft?Central ThemesChapters in the BookChapter 2 – Brewing and Doing EthnographyIntroductionBoundariesEthnographyPositivist ScienceCounter Narratives and TrendsTheoretical PracticeLimitationsChapter 3 – History of Craft BeerIntroductionImaginationAuthenticityCommunityBrewing in the United StatesEarly Beer HistoryPost War Mass Culture and Mass Culture BeerCraft Beer Begins in the United StatesGenerationsCraft Brewing in PhiladelphiaChapter 4 – Political Economy and Craft BeerIntroductionFrom Welfare Capitalism to NeoliberalismGlobalization and the Political Economy of Consumer CapitalismThe Information RevolutionSpatial TransformationsTransformations in Consumer Culture (Taste Revolution)Craft Beer in Britain: A ComparisonSummaryChapter 5 – Knowledge Production and Social ReproductionIntroductionInvisible CollegeCommunities of Practice and Affinity SpacesHomebrewingThemesSummaryChapter 6 – Digital Media and the Possibility of CraftOpening StoryDigital Media and SpaceProduction/Distribution/ConsumptionSummaryChapter 7 – Values and Value ProductionOpening StoryCraftAuthenticity AgainValue and ValuesBeer LabelsFrom Being to BecomingConclusionChapter 8 – Blurring the Edges: Craft Beer’s LimitationsIntroductionCraft Beer and AlcoholismWhite Male Culture of Homebrewing and Craft BrewingCraft Beer and RaceCraft Beer and GenderSummaryChapter 9 – ConclusionQuality over Mass ConsumptionCommunity and AuthenticityGenerationsDigital MediaCurrent TensionsFinal Thoughts

    Book Synopsis The Stooges have come to be considered one of the most important rock bands, especially in regard to the formation of punk. By emphasizing their influence on later developments, however, critics tend to overlook the significance of the band in their own context and era. The Music and Noise of the Stooges, 1967-71 addresses such oversights. Utilizing the lenses of cultural criticism and sound studies (drawing on the thinking of Theodor Adorno, Jacques Attali, and Pierre Bourdieu, among others), as well as contemporary and archival texts, this extensively researched study analyzes the trajectory and musical output of the original Stooges. During the late 1960s and early 70s, a moment when the dissonant energy of rock'n'roll was more than ever being subsumed by the record industry, the Stooges were initially commercial failures, with the band's noisy music and singer Iggy Pop's bizarre onstage performances confusing their label, Elektra Records. As Begnal argues, thTrade Review“…[Begnal] frames the Stooges’ output and achievement in terms of cultural and literary criticism and sound studies…most interesting is Begnal’s contextual analyses of the group as products of ‘60s social and political upheaval, who as scholars of jazz and blues were heavily steeped in the racial and cultural dialogues of the time. Within this he also dissects the relationship between market forces and the avant garde, and the record industry’s role as agents of capitalism and commodification.”Mojo“…author Michael S. Begnal has dredged up some surprising and provable influences on the band’s intentions to smelt their initial psychy improvisation into tangible riffs and steadily solidified albums…this is a fresh reminder of those intriguing early days, adding smarts back into a story that is often lazily wound down into a bunch of memes about Iggy not wearing shirts…the investigation into the words and sounds of ‘Loose’ along will keep most uber-fans engrossed…there are useful [interviews] from old articles throughout that you might not ever have come across before.”Ugly Things, 64“This ain’t just any ol’ Stooges book but one which really deals with the deep down whys and wherefores of just what the group was up to during their original pre-RAW POWER romp…TONS of pertinent information, a whole load of it unknown even to me…that is presented here along with the insight and workings of what was so unique and downright special about the Stooges…Begnal put[s] it into heady but understandable terms..really, this is worth the while.”Blog to Comm (blogsite of Black to Comm)Table of ContentsIntroduction: "A Strange Type of Life"1 Becoming the Stooges2 Action, Reaction, Advance3 The Making of Fun House4 Fun House in the World5 The Third Elektra Album That Never WasConclusion: Becoming "Classic"BibliographyDiscographyFilmography
