Migrating Music

Migrating Music considers the issues around music and cosmopolitanism in new ways. Whilst much of the existing literature on ‘world music’ questions the appar- ently world-disclosing nature of this genre – but says relatively little about migra- tion and mobility – diaspora studies have much to say about the latter, yet little about the significance of music.

In this context, this book affirms the centrality of music as a mode of transla- tion and cosmopolitan mediation, whilst also pointing out the complexity of the processes at stake within it. Migrating music, it argues, represents perhaps the most salient mode of performance of otherness to mutual others, and as such its significance in socio-cultural change rivals – and even exceeds – literature, film, and other language and image-based cultural forms.

This book will serve as a valuable reference tool for undergraduate and post- graduate students with research interests in cultural studies, sociology of culture, music, globalization, migration, and human geography.

Jason Toynbee is Senior Lecturer in Media Studies in the Department of Sociology at the Open University. He does work on copyright and creativity, and ethnicity and the post-colonial condition. Much of his research on those issues focuses on popular music and jazz, as in his books Making Popular Music: Musicians, Institutions and Creativity (Arnold, 2000) and Bob Marley: Herald of a Postcolonial World? (Polity, 2007).

Byron Dueck is Lecturer in Music at the Royal Northern College of Music. His work focuses on the role of musical and embodied experience in constituting public cultures. The majority of his research concerns First Nations and Métis music in western Canada; other interests include Cameroonian popular music and jazz.

The Culture, Economy and the Social series is committed to innovative contem- porary, comparative and historical work on the relations between social, cultural and economic change. It publishes empirically based research that is theoretically informed, that critically examines the ways in which social, cultural and economic change is framed and made visible, and that is attentive to perspectives that tend to be ignored or sidelined by grand theorizing or epochal accounts of social change. The series addresses the diverse manifestations of contemporary capitalism, and considers the various ways in which ‘the social’, ‘the cultural’ and ‘the economic’ are apprehended as tangible sites of value and practice. It is explicitly compara- tive, publishing books that work across disciplinary perspectives, cross-culturally, or across different historical periods.

The series is actively engaged in the analysis of the different theoretical tradi- tions that have contributed to the development of the ‘cultural turn’ with a view to clarifying where these approaches converge and where they diverge on a partic- ular issue. It is equally concerned to explore the new critical agendas emerging from current critiques of the cultural turn: those associated with the descriptive

turn, for example. Our commitment to interdisciplinarity thus aims at enriching theoretical and methodological discussion, building awareness of the common ground that has emerged in the past decade, and thinking through what is at stake in those approaches that resist integration to a common analytical model.

Crego ( Respond no more than 100 words)

Hey everyone,

My name is Joshua Crego and I’m originally from a small town in Ohio called Mansfield. I’m currently serving as a United States Marine Corps Officer for almost 18 years now and I’m working as a Space and Propagation Engineering Officer, stationed at Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) in San Diego, California. Over the past several years, I have had the ability to redefine my leadership skills, work in high-pressure environments, and gain experience with managing complex systems.

Outside of work, I’m a huge sports fan, both playing and watching. The Cleveland Browns are my go-to (even through the tough seasons), and I enjoy staying active whenever I can. Most importantly, I value spending time with my family, which is something I prioritize as much as possible given the demands of military life. I have been married for almost 16 years and have 2 children aged 11, and almost 4.

As I approach retirement, my goal is to transition into a career in finance. This is my fifth class towards my MBA and I’m extremely excited about completing it. I’ve always had a strong interest in financial markets, investing, and long-term wealth building, so my dream job would be something within the finance field where I can apply both analytical and strategic thinking. Ultimately, I plan to settle in Florida after retiring from the military and begin that next chapter.

I’m taking this course to strengthen my understanding of marketing principles and how they apply to real-world business decisions. Even in finance, understanding consumer behavior, branding, and market positioning is critical for making informed investment or business decisions. The things we will learn in this class such as analyzing market opportunities, understanding customer value, and developing strategic marketing plans directly align with my career goals. These skills will help me better evaluate companies, understand what drives their success, and make smarter financial and business decisions moving forward.

Looking forward to learning with all of you this term!

Kunzi (No more than 100 words)

My name is Grant and I look forward to working through this class and completing it with you all. This will be my sixth class with AMU and marks the halfway point while I’m working towards my MBA. Additionally, I choose an emphasis in business analytics to help me distinguish my future degree from others and it appeals to my math minded brain. I previously studied Engineering at Michigan State, Go Spartans! and commissioned into the Air Force soon after. I am still active duty and will be for the next few years. I had the opportunity to travel through work a fair amount the last couple years, this past one especially, I picked classes back up after and am squeezing this one in before I move overseas. I hope this class will both deepen and broaden my knowledge in general business management as well as the economic aspects as I consider myself to have a moderate understanding of the functions of non-government management. I do not have any family besides the one I grew up with, most of them are still in Michigan and I love when I get to visit them. In my personal time I emphasize collecting experiences, pursuing travel outside of work, and prioritizing myself. Currently I plan to visit as many National Parks as I can and accomplish some challenging hikes and backpacking trips. I’m looking at Rocky National Park now. When I do not have the time/energy to go on an adventure I love to stay home, read for growth & fun, game, or find an excuse to socialize with friends over food and drink.

Instructions
For your Marketing Plan assignment due in Week 7, you will submit a two-page proposal outlining the topic (GLOBAL URBAN MUSIC) you selected. This proposal will be the foundation for your comprehensive 10 page marketing plan, focusing on a brand of choice. The proposal will help you clarify and refine your approach before you begin the final paper. Your proposal should include the following three sections, each with a bold heading: 1. Topic: · Identify the brand or company you have selected for your marketing plan. · Provide a brief background on the brand or company, including relevant details such as its industry, size, market position, and any pertinent history. 2. Rationale: · Explain why this company requires a new marketing plan. Consider whether the company is expanding into a new market, launching a new product or service, or revising its existing marketing strategy. · Include a clear justification for why a new marketing plan is necessary. For example, discuss the company's current challenges or opportunities, such as declining sales, increased competition, or shifting consumer preferences. 3. Strategy: · Define the target market for your marketing plan. Specifically, describe the demographic (e.g., age, gender, income level, education, occupation) and psychographic (e.g., lifestyle, values, interests, purchasing behavior) characteristics of the audience you aim to reach. Consider factors such as geographic location (urban vs. rural, specific regions or countries) and any specific cultural or behavioral trends that may influence the market. · Indicate where you will source the information needed for your final paper. List at least four specific references that will provide the research and data necessary for developing your marketing plan. Include the specific reference not just the name. · Reminder: The four references you list here are intended to guide the development of your final paper and are not part of the reference page for this assignment. The reference page for this proposal should include all the sources used in writing the proposal itself. Be sure to format all references according to the required citation style. Formatting and Submission: · Ensure your proposal is formatted in APA style, with appropriate citations and references to scholarly sources. · Write in Essay format not as an outline or bullets · Submit as a Word document Course Objectives: · Develop a comprehensive marketing plan for a brand. · Define the process for successfully introducing a new product or service to market. This proposal is crucial to laying the groundwork for your detailed marketing plan, so carefully consider your choices and approach as you prepare it. Additional Information: Advice on Choosing a Brand When selecting a brand for your marketing plan, it's important to choose one that would benefit from a fresh or revised marketing strategy. Below are some factors to consider to ensure your selected brand is a good fit for this assignment: 1. Brand in Need of a Marketing Overhaul Look for brands that are facing challenges such as: · Declining Sales or Market Share: A brand that has experienced stagnation or decreased consumer demand over time could benefit from a revitalized marketing approach. · Brand Image Issues: Brands damaged by negative publicity, poor customer perceptions, or outdated branding may need a strategic refresh. · Competitive Pressure: A brand in a highly competitive market or an industry experiencing new entrants or disruptive technologies may require a new strategy to maintain or grow market share. · Changing Consumer Preferences: Brands that haven't adapted to shifting consumer expectations, technological advances, or new social trends might benefit from a targeted rebranding or marketing strategy. 2. Opportunities for Market Expansion or Innovation Consider brands that are: · Entering a New Market: A company expanding into a new geographic region, demographic segment, or industry may need a comprehensive marketing plan to penetrate this new market effectively. · Launching a New Product or Service: If a company introduces a new product or service that hasn't yet been marketed or is poorly received, this could be an excellent opportunity to develop a fresh plan targeting the right audience. · Diversifying its Offerings: A brand diversifying its product line or broadening its target demographic can benefit from a well-thought-out marketing strategy to ensure the new offering resonates with the target audience. 4. Data Availability and Research Feasibility Finally, ensure that sufficient data and research are available for your chosen brand. This could be through: · Publicly available reports, such as annual reports or industry analyses. · Access to reputable sources of consumer behavior data, trends, and competitive analysis. · Case studies or examples from similar brands or companies that have faced comparable challenges. Choosing a brand that clearly needs a new or revised marketing strategy will allow you to develop a relevant and actionable plan. Ensure the brand has a clearly defined issue, opportunity, or objective that can be addressed through a comprehensive marketing approach.
