Sommario/riassunto

With the financial crisis and Great Recession, some economists have begun to question the orthodox approach to production and capital/labor relations over the last two to three decades. This orthodoxy has been thrown into question due to concerns of poor corporate decision-making, corporate capture of regulators, perceived rewards for failure, and uneven productivity growth. But a new spirit of introspection and doubt about orthodox approaches has created some impetus leading to greater interest in themes, such as worker ownership, sharing rewards, co-operatives, and employee involvement practices which feature heavily in the Advances series. This "new spirit" is apparent for all to see in the 12 contributions to this volume of Advances which cover co-operatives; effects of worker participation on firm performance; the diffusion of high involvement management practices; and outcomes for workers (i.e., job satisfaction and wages).

Note generali

Rap has arrived in the 21st Century. This book looks into what it is that distinguishes current rap culture from earlier years – but also, it analyzes which tendencies promote a return to classical rap-cultural values. The articles investigate the potential of the subculture to diagnose the problems of its time, and show how things like the internet are increasingly becoming the arena of communication, how political conflicts are dealt with artistically, or how language is redeveloped creatively. The bringing together of perspectives from Cultural and Media Studies, as well as from journalism, makes the



collection essential reading not just for interested academics, but also for journalists and fans of music and pop culture.

Sommario/riassunto

Rap ist im 21. Jahrhundert angekommen.Der Band fragt danach, was die aktuelle Rap-Kultur von früheren Phasen unterscheidet – aber auch, welche Tendenzen eine Rückbesinnung auf klassische Werte der Rap-Kultur begünstigen. Die Beiträge gehen dem zeitdiagnostischen Potenzial der Subkultur nach und zeigen u.a., wie Internet und Social Media zunehmend zum kommunikativen Gestaltungsraum werden, wie politische Konflikte künstlerisch verarbeitet werden oder etablierte Genderstereotype zunehmend erodieren.Die Zusammenführung von sozial-, kultur- und medienwissenschaftlichen sowie journalistischen Perspektiven macht den Band nicht nur für interessierte Wissenschaftler_innen, sondern auch für Journalist_innen und popkultur-affine Menschen lesenswert.

»Ein interessanter Band, der abwechslungsreich Perspektiven bündelt und einen wichtigen Auftakt bildet zur Auseinandersetzung mit den Folgen von Digitalisierungsprozessen für die weitere Entwicklung und Ausformung (jugend-)kultureller Ausdrucksformen.«

Besprochen in:Reutlinger General-Anzeiger, 31.03.2017

»Die Beiträge [...] bieten erhellende Einblicke in Geschichte und aktuelle Debatten der Rap-Kultur.Für allgemein Musikinteressierte ist das Buch allemal eine Fundgrube.«
