Why do certain performers have such emotional power, even though their music is considered vulgar or second rate? In The Persistence of Sentiment, Mitchell Morris gives a critical account of a group of American popular music performers who have dedicated fan bases and considerable commercial success despite the critical disdain they have endured. Morris examines the specific musical features of some exemplary pop songs and draws attention to the social contexts that contributed to their popularity as well as their dismissal. These artists were all members of more or less disadvantaged social categories: members of racial or sexual minorities, victims of class and gender prejudices, advocates of populations excluded from the mainstream. The complicated commercial world of pop music in the 1970's allowed the greater promulgation of musical styles and idioms that spoke to and for exactly those stigmatized audiences. In more recent years, beginning with the "Seventies Revival" of the early 1990's, additional perspectives and layers of interpretation have allowed not only a deeper understanding of these songs' function than when they were first popular, but also an appreciation of how their significance has shifted for American listeners in the succeeding three decades.Popular musicUnited States1971-1980History and criticismSingersUnited StatesElectronic books.Popular musicHistory and criticism.Singers781.640973/09047Morris Mitchell1961-1040100MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910452730003321The persistence of sentiment2462711UNINA03983nam 2200685 450 991080846560332120230809233929.03-11-053463-03-11-053646-310.1515/9783110536461(CKB)4340000000191249(MiAaPQ)EBC4915782(DE-B1597)477937(OCoLC)999354939(DE-B1597)9783110536461(Au-PeEL)EBL4915782(CaPaEBR)ebr11412759(CaONFJC)MIL1021858(OCoLC)994501864(EXLCZ)99434000000019124920170811h20172017 uy 0engurcnu||||||||rdacontentrdamediardacarrierReligious revival and secularism in post-Soviet Azerbaijan /Dobroslawa Wiktor-MachBerlin, [Germany] ;Boston, [Massachusetts] :De Gruyter,2017.©20171 online resource (228 pages) illustrations, tablesReligion and Society,1437-5370 ;Volume 713-11-053462-2 Includes bibliographical references and index.Frontmatter -- Acknowledgements -- Contents -- List of Tables and Figures -- Note on Transliteration -- Introduction -- Chapter 1.

State control: Heretic-Hunting -- Glossary -- Bibliography -- Index The book explores the complex world of Islam from the perspective of its adherents and activists in Azerbaijan. Baku, the most secular Muslim capital city, is a battlefield for the minds and souls of „ethnic Muslims.” Visiting pirs was till now the typical expression of religiosity among Azerbaijani Muslims. Sunni-Shia division was blurred. Nowadays, Shia and Sunni Muslim movements propose new distinctive identities. Foreign and local preachers took advantage of liberal religious policies of the 1990s to promote their ideas. Salafis stress the „pristine” Islam and the idea of universalism, while Shias underline rationality in their faith tradition. Turkish model of Islam is more inclusive towards local customs. Sufism, although not as powerful as before, also finds a committed audience. Finally, independent charismatic local leaders gain supporters. The book investigates how this pluralism affects both religious groups and believers. Competitive environment requires effective strategies and flexibility. In this process, the traditional dominance of Shiism is challenged by Sunni movements. Shiism, however, is not giving up and adapts its concepts and practices to contemporary contexts.Religion and society (Hague, Netherlands) ;Volume 71.IslamAzerbaijanSunnitesRelationsShīʻahShīʻahRelationsSunnitesIslamic modernismAzerbaijanIslamic fundamentalismAzerbaijanAzerbaijan.Sociology of Islam.post-Soviet.religious studies.IslamSunnitesRelationsShīʻah.ShīʻahRelationsSunnites.Islamic modernismIslamic fundamentalism297.094754/09051REL037000REL037010LIT008000bisacshWiktor-Mach Dobrosława1608626MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910808465603321Religious revival and secularism in post-Soviet Azerbaijan3935474UNINA
