From Dennis Brown to Sizzla, the way in which reggae music constructs a musical, religious and socio-political memory in rupture with dominant models is vividly illustrated by the lyrics themselves. How is the past remembered in the present? How does remembering the past allow for imagining the future? How does collective memory participate in the historical grounding of collective identity? What is the relationship between tradition and revolution, between the recollection of the past and the imagination of the future, between passivity and action? Ultimately, this case study of ‘memory at work’ opens up a theoretical problem: the conceptualization of time and its relationship with memory.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: Music Dance & TheatreBook Series: Music and SocietyTopic: Social Sciences, Society & CultureItem Width: 17mmItem Weight: 363gRelease Year: 2016 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
