Welcome to the blog for Music and the Internet: Towards a Digital Sociology of Music (‘DIGSOCMUS’).
The internet and digitalisation have created new social conditions, transforming the relations between knowledge, society and social research (cf. Marres 2017). This project asks what these changes mean for music and for musicological research. We will use this blog to offer preliminary reflections on online artifacts, analyses, case studies, and other thoughts-in-progress over the course of the project.
We would love to hear from you if you have questions & comments or would like to draw upon & cite material from the blog. Our email addresses are:
