Genre Transfer : Indie Music in Istanbul (1990s-2010s)
- 2023
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This thesis sheds light on border crossings of popular music genres and proposes a novel approach to studying circulation of popular music across the globe. It propounds a critical discussion on the conventions and politics of knowledge production and dissemination within the scholarship that lies in the intersection of popular music studies, ethnomusicology and music sociology. The thesis points to the predominance of structure-driven and conjuncture-oriented approaches as well as issues of comprehension and representation within the scholarship, and it motivates an actor-oriented approach to account for transregional circulation of popular music genres. Through taking indie music in Istanbul as its case, the thesis develops an alternative approach called "genre transfer." It focuses on the emergence and development of indie music within the regional context of Istanbul from the 1990s to the 2010s. Apart from identifying the key agents and institutions that have been involved in the process of indie music's local legitimization, the thesis analyzes the agents' changing conditions, relations and strategies that have provided base to the transformation of their practices. In doing so, the thesis draws upon actor-oriented approaches of cultural transfer studies and remains informed by analytical and epistemological concerns laid out within the fields of relational sociology and sociology of knowledge.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The wellbeing of older men is an understudied, yet urgent research topic. After retirement, men may lose their social networks and professional identity, which can lead to loneliness, depression, and a heightened risk for suicide. These problems are worsened by a reluctance amongst many men to seek help. Existing social support systems are oftentimes not customised to older men’s needs and interests. Previous studies suggest that music can play a significant role for the social and emotional wellbeing of older men. Therefore, a music listening group was set up to explore how music listening can serve as a wellbeing resource for older men. Eight men 64-86 years old met to listen to and discuss music of their own choice, with a trained music therapist (first author) as the group leader. Focusing on the participants’ identity performances, a deductive thematic analysis was conducted, guided by Goffman’s dramaturgical perspective of frontstage-backstage, Stern’s theories on vitality affect, and masculinity theory. The participants performed their identities mainly in line with traditional masculinities in their verbal frontstage performances, revealing ambivalent masculine identities, while using music to connect to, experience and express other, more “sentient” backstage identities which surpass traditional norms. The music chosen was characterised by the participants’ curiosity and openness to learning about new music. The results have implications for music therapy in highlighting the wellbeing needs of older men and music’s many aesthetic and wellbeing potentials for this hitherto understudied group.

"Som plåster på själen" : Om äldre män och musik som välbefinnanderesurs
- 2021
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The purpose of the thesis is to elucidate how older men’s interest in music can be understood as a wellbeing resource. This is motivated by the potential wellbeing threats facing older men with regards to loneliness and untreated depression. These challenges are understood to be tied to norms of masculinity around emotions. Previous research has shown how engagement with music can fulfil social and emotional needs and work as a selfhelp technology, partly through strengthening a positive self-identity. The research question here is how music can be a wellbeing resource for older men specifically. The study is in two parts: semi-structured interviews with 15 men on their engagement with music, and a music listening group with eight (other), socially vulnerable older men, where the participants could listen to music of their own choice, with the author of the thesis as a group leader and participant observer. The scientific approach is hermeneutic. The materials were analysed thematically, with theoretical perspectives drawn from studies on men and masculinities, theories on affect attunement and Goffman’s dramaturgical perspective. The analysis shows that an interest in music can serve as a wellbeing resource for older men in three ways: First, musical experiences can offer an asylum for older men where they can connect to, experience and express, their emotional lives without jeopardising their “frontstage” performances of traditional masculinity. Through affect attunement musical experiences can contribute to both confirming and expanding the sense of self, which supports psychological needs of safety and development. Second, a sense of cultural belongingness can emerge from sharing an interest in music and collectively listening to music, also in groups where a deeper sense of personal connectedness is lacking. Third, an active interest in music, both playing, singing, dancing and listening to music, can support a sense of competence and agency amongst older men through affording possibilities to learn and share their knowledge, which fosters a positive sense of masculine identity, thereby strengthening self-respect and self-esteem. The practical implications from these results are to encourage older men to engage with music in different ways, including talking about music, learning and sharing.

Musikens medialisering och musikaliseringen av medier och vardagsliv i Sverige
- 2019
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- Musiken har genomgått en medialisering utan like de senaste hundra åren. Elektrifiering och digitalisering av musikmedierna har inneburit att musik kan höras så gott som överallt och när som helst. Vid sidan av medialisering introducerar föreliggande antologi begreppet musikalisering. Medan medialisering handlar om mediernas långsiktiga påverkan på vardagspraktiker och kommunikation, handlar musikalisering om förändringar i musikens roll. Förutom att vara en naturlig komponent i allt fler vardagssammanhang bidrar musik i allt högre grad till att strukturera och organisera uppfattningar om, erfarenheter av och förväntningar på den levda verkligheten.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Att lyssna på musik i avskildhet, solitärt lyssnande, är en av de mest utbredda formerna av musiklyssnande i vår digitala tidsålder. Men i nästan ett halvt sekel av ljudåtergivningstekniken var olika former av socialt lyssnande normen. I den här artikeln diskuterar vi vad vi ser som de viktigaste förutsättningarna för solitärt lyssnande som det utvecklades under det tjugonde århundradet. Mer specifikt argumenterar vi för att solitärt lyssnande blev den dominerande formen att lyssna vid mitten av seklet som ett resultat av tre olika men sammanhängande faktorer i det moderna samhället: (1) uppkomsten av det moderna vardagsrummet; (2) ankomsten av nya och alltmer sofistikerade teknologier för ljudåtergivning och (3) en ständigt växande individualism i samhället som helhet, vilken främjade en estetisk individualism där solitärt lyssnande fann en naturlig plats. Med internet, digital teknik och moderna ljudavskiljande hörlurar har utvecklingen lett till vad som kan beskrivas som en solipsistisk ljudkultur. Men samtidigt, genom att t.ex. dela musik och musikaliska spellistor på sociala medier, verkar äldre tiders sociala aspekter av musikaliskt lyssnande åter ha kommit till heders.
