Coastal Environments in Popular Song

<p>This book examines how popular music is able to approach subjects of bio-politics climate change solastalgia and anthropomorphisation alongside its more common diet of songs about love dancing and break-ups – all while satisfying its primary remit of being entertaining and listenable.</p><p>Nearly a thousand books have been published on bioethics since Van Rensselaer Potter’s <em>Bioethics Bridge to the Future</em> (1971) with a marked increase in the past 20 years. However not one of these books has focused itself on popular music something Christopher Partridge describes as ‘central to the construction of [our] identities central to [our] sense of self central to [our] well-being and therefore central to [our] social relations’. This edited collection examines popular music through a range of topics from romance to climate change.</p><p>Coastal Environments in Popular Song is perfect for students scholars and researchers alike interested in bioethics social history and the history of music. </p>
