To whoever may be interested: an international Popular Music magazine called Volume! (edited by Sheila Whiteley and Jedediah Sklower) has just started and will be published both in French and English. The current issue (by now in French) deals with the relationship between music and countercultures, includes contributions by some prestigious Popular Music scholars (like Sheila herself, Andy bennett, Simon Warner and others) and an essay I’ve written about he Naples scene, namely about what has happened to the Neapolitan music and to the Neapolitan Song when countercultures have reached Italy after World War II. The English version will be published in 2013 (see the ‘Partnerships and Essays’ section in this website). Here are two links where you can find some information:
