Music and Society: Identities, Resistances and Politics through Musical Production. Part II

Since the 20^th Century, music has been both a commercial commodity but also a powerful medium for political views, such as discomfort against war, poverty and segregation by gender, race and sexual orientation, among others. With the appearance of digital streaming platforms in the 21^st Century, music production and distribution have been democratized; so many musicians can reach new audiences, allowing more visibility, or audibility, for their political views.

There are many examples where musical discourses are key factor for making visible many social and political processes. This session proposal aims to join research about social and political uses of music, in order to enrich and identify all research in sociology of music and its social and political uses.
