[ePub] Pedagogy and Space: Design Inspirations for Early Childhood Classrooms by Linda Zane in Arts-Photography

Description

Recent years have seen not just a revival; but a rebirth of the analogue record. More than merely a nostalgic craze; vinyl has become a cultural icon. As music consumption migrated to digital and online; this seemingly obsolete medium became the fastest-growing format in music sales. Whilst vinyl never ceased to be the favorite amongst many music lovers and DJs; from the late 1980s the recording industry regarded it as an outdated relic; consigned to dusty domestic corners and obscure record shops. So why is vinyl now experiencing a rebirth of its cool?Dominik Bartmanski and Ian Woodward explore this question by combining a cultural sociological approach with insights from material culture studies. Presenting vinyl as a multifaceted cultural object; they investigate the reasons behind its persistence within our technologically accelerated culture. Informed by media analysis; urban ethnography and the authors interviews with musicians; DJs; sound engineers; record store owners; collectors and cutting-edge label chiefs from a range of metropolitan centres renowned for thriving music scenes including London; New York; Tokyo; Melbourne; and especially Berlin; what emerges is a story of a modern icon.
