Band Chemistry
The subject of band chemistry, or the interpersonal and collective dynamics within a rock band and their effects on longevity and musical creativity, has received little explicit scholarly attention. Drawing primarily on the words of musicians, this paper explores band chemistry in all its fragility and fickleness, easily disrupted and occasionally fortified by the ever-evolving interpersonal relationships of band members, commercial success or n…
National Identities and Images of the Other in a Canadian–American Borderlands Region
This article explores differences in national identities and orientations toward “the other” among Canadian and American students who attend geographically proximate universities in the southern Ontario/Upstate New York borderlands region. Drawing on descriptions of Canada–US cultural differences regarding national identities and views of “the other” from the work of Seymour Martin Lipset (and his critics) among Canadians and Americans at large, …
Two Nations or Four Regions? A Test of Alternative Explanations of Value Differences Between Canada and the United States
Although Canada and the United States are among the most similar countries in the world, some scholars contend there are deep, enduring value differences separating Canadians from Americans. Lipset, for example, attributes this cultural “continental divide” principally to the origins of the two societies—respectively, the revolution in the United States and the resulting counter-revolution in the colonies to the north—and argues that value differ…
Multiculturalism versus ‘ e pluribus unum ’
Seymour Martin Lipset posits a ‘continental divide’ separating political value systems in Canada and the United States, attributing this to the two countries’ differing foundational experiences. Central to Lipset’s argument is the contrast that he draws between values respecting immigration and cultural diversity, a contrast captured in the metaphors, ‘mosaic’ and ‘melting pot’. Critics of Lipset’s thesis, such as Grabb and Curtis, argue that the…

Twenty-odd years ago, after maybe two decades of not playing much in public other than picking up a guitar at the end of a party or leading back-porch sing-alongs, I ventured back out into the folk
Explaining Canada–US differences in attitudes toward the role of government
For decades scholars have engaged in a lively debate about the distinctiveness of Canadian and American value systems. Lipset (1990) argues that divergent responses to the American Revolution led Canada to embrace Tory values of ‘peace, order, and good government’ while Americans pursued classical liberal values of ‘life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness’. Other scholars question the extent, or even the existence, of the differences Lipset d…
The Live Concert Experience
The digital upheaval of the late 1990s and early 2000s, combined with changing consumer preferences and behavior, profoundly changed the political economy of popular music. Sales of recorded music ...
“The Ties That Bind”
As the traditional driving forces of the music business, sales of recorded music and music publishing, have experienced serious economic downturns over the last decade, principally as a result of changes in technology and consumer behavior, one of the few growth areas in the broader music industry has been the live performance and touring sector. Yet, there are remarkably few academic studies of this sector: for example, we know very little about…
Explaining Canada–US Differences in Attitudes Toward Crime and Justice
Despite cultural similarities between Canada and the United States, some observers contend that significant differences remain in attitudes and values between the two countries. For example, Lipset has observed that “efforts to distinguish Canada and the United States almost invariably point to the greater respect for law and order and those who uphold it north of the border”. Lipset’s argument is that Canadian values are based on the nation’s fo…
Canada Abroad
The six articles immediately following this introduction are based on papers presented at the 'Canada Abroad' conference held at the Bader International Study Centre, or BISC, at Herstmonceux Castle in Sussex, England, in the summer of 2013. For those who don't know about BISC, it's an interna- tional study centre affiliated with Queen's University - not the Belfast institution, but the Canadian one, based in Kingston, Ontario. It offers an oppor…
