Introduction to Special Issue
In this introduction to this special issue we make the case for a domestic turn in popular music studies, a programmatic invitation for a direct and sustained pivot to the home in all its variable forms and leaky complexity. We point to the lack of concerted treatment of the home in popular music studies while identifying its centrality to debates about creative labor, the changing nature of (live) music, and gendered inequalities in musical prac…
The DIY careers of young classical musicians in neoliberal times
This article seeks to deepen our understanding of the do-it-yourself (DIY) careers of a younger generation of classically trained musicians in the context of the neoliberal transformation of higher music education and music labour markets.

It then examines how feminist music archives create alte…

Examining two recent documentary projects, one focusing on Austropop, a Viennese popular music phenomenon of the early 1970s, and the other on the punk-inspired music scene of Linz in Upper Austria from late 1970s, the article shows how both projects seek to invent an Austrian popular music heritage and advance claims for national or regional cultural ident…
