Musicians in the United States still seem to think so, flocking to auditions for The Voice and Idol brands or paying to perform at record label showcases. "The ideology of getting signed"--the belief that signing a record contract will almost infallibly lead to some measure of success--is alive and well, even as streaming, social media, and viral content have turned the recording industry upside down. Getting Signed provides a critical analysis of musicians' contract aspirations as a cultural phenomenon that reproduces modes of power and economic exploitation, no matter how radical the route to contract. Working at the intersection of Marxist sociology, cultural sociology, critical theory, and media studies, Arditi unfolds how the ideology of getting signed penetrated an industry, created a mythos of guaranteed success, and persists in an era when power is being redefined in the light of digital technologies."--Publisher's description. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Chapter 1: Introduction -- Part I -- Chapter 2: Record Contracts: Ideology in Action -- Chapter 3: Copyright Enclosure -- Chapter 4: The Digital Turn: Music Business as Usual -- Chapter 5: On Competition in Music -- Part II -- Chapter 6: We're Getting the Band Back Together: Social Cohesion and Solidarity in Bands -- Chapter 7: The Voice: Popular Culture and the Perpetuation of Ideology -- Chapter 8: Conning the Dream: Musical Showcase as Confidence Game -- Chapter 9: Conclusion. 650 0 $a Music trade $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Social sciences. 650 0 $a Mass media. 650 0 $a Communication. 650 0 $a Industrial sociology. 650 0 $a Music. 650 0 $a Social sciences $x Philosophy. 650 7 $a Communication. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00869952 650 7 $a Industrial sociology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00971738 650 7 $a Mass media. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01011219 650 7 $a Music. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01030269 650 7 $a Social sciences. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122877 650 7 $a Social sciences $x Philosophy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122940 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317025816.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A213D2E8CF3111EB9A1890BA3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
