Digital music distributors in Eastern Europe: Cultural intermediaries and power relations in the platformised recording industry
This article contributes to studying cultural production and intermediaries through music streaming from an Eastern European perspective, answering recent calls to de-Westernise cultural and media studies. Theoretically, it combines critical approaches to the platformisation of the cultural industries and to cultural intermediaries with world-systems analysis. Through qualitative research conducted in Hungary, it explores the characteristic roles…
Introduction to Special Issue: Home, Work, and Music - Toward a Domestic Turn in Popular Music Studies
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…
Managed Hearts: Emotional Labor and Structural Change in the Work of Young Female Music Managers in Hungary
We are of one blood”: Hungarian popular music, nationalism and the trajectory of the song “Nélküled” through radicalization, folklorization and consecration
This paper addresses the relationship between popular music, nationalism and political power in a local context through the case of Hungary. Through the combination of musicological group analysis, fieldwork, interviews and media analysis, we follow the trajectory of the song “Nélküled” (Ismerős Arcok 2007 Ismerős Arcok.2007. “Nélküled,” Track 14 on Éberálom, Compact Disc. IA 004. [Google Scholar]) between 2007 and 2021 through its changing music…
The 'System of National Cooperation' hit factory: The aesthetic of Hungarian government-commissioned songs between 2010 and 2020
This article addresses the relationship between popular music and populism through three government-commissioned songs, produced for occasions of national remembering during the post-2010 Orbán regime in Hungary, namely 'Barackfa' (2013), 'Egy szabad országért' (2016) and 'Hazám, hazám' (2020). All three songs are one-off collaborations of artists representing various music genres. We ask, firstly, what aesthetic forms make these songs potentiall…
Managing the Eastern European position in the digital era: Music industry showcase events and popular music export in Hungary
Following the 1989–1990 transition and formal reintegration into the world system, the ‘opening up’ of post-socialist countries to global cultural industries, including the music industry, primarily meant a creation of new markets for major record labels and other central actors of the global music economy. This chapter explores this particular semi-peripheral position of the national music industries of Eastern Europe within global, as well as r…
Between Cultural Policies, Industry Structures, and the Household: A Feminist Perspective on Digitalization and Musical Careers in Hungary
This paper examines the ways in which the digitalization of the music industries has impacted the work of musicians locally, in the semi-peripheral country of Hungary. In particular, it focuses on the ways in which the work of musicians is shaped by gender relations. It aims to critique the democratization discourse of the digitalization of musical production by exploring, first, the local policy and industry context of digitalized musical labor,…
A magyarországi szexkamera-iparág: Digitális technológia, platformkapitalizmus és a szexipar normalizálása
A tanulmányban a szexkamera-iparág kialakulását és működését elemezzük a platformcégek központi szerepére és az iparágban dolgozók munkájára fókuszálva. Magyarországi példán, az iparágban dolgozókkal folytatott interjús kutatásunk alapján vizsgáljuk, miként változott a digitalizáció nyomán a szexipar és azon belül a szexkamera-iparág a globális gazdaságban, és hogyan működnek azok a platformcégek, amelyek ennek az átalakulásnak központi szereplői…
Popular Music, Technology, and the Changing Media Ecosystem: From Cassettes to Stream
The perfect guide in a crowded musical landscape: ” Online music platforms and curatorship
Curatorship or curation has become a widely used term in music industry and popular music discourse recently, used not only in a museum or exhibition context, but also in connection with music festivals, and increasingly, playlists and other functions related to online music platforms. Through a case study of 22tracks, an online, playlist-based music discovery service currently based in four European cities, I look at the role and position of the…
