Ethno-aesthetics of Surf in Florida discusses surf and music as glocal sociocultural constructs. Focusing on Florida's unexplored surfing culture, the book illustrates how musical experience begets representations about the world that highlight ways of acting and being of various sociocultural communities. Based on the conceptualization of ethno-aesthetics, this ethnographic study provides an analysis of the Space Coast surfers community's collaborative effort to build social cohesion through their musicking. This transdisciplinary research in American Studies draws upon various theoretical perspectives from both the humanities and social sciences, including ethnomusicology, social psychology, and sociolinguistics, to propose new ways of exploring the links between surfing and musicking. This monograph looks past the myth of iconic 1960s Californian surf music to show how, as a result of the glocalization of surfing, the musicking of Floridian surfers has allowed them to express their subjectivities and to make sense of their world. This book contributes to the debate on the disputed notions of identity and representations by establishing connections between a local expression of the surf lifestyle and its music. It proposes theoretical models that explain cultural hybridization, appropriation, and belonging in surfing. It also develops concepts and notions, such as surfanization, surf strand, lifestyle crossover, and identity marking, to illustrate how global practices, such as surfing, are endowed with various modes of expression exemplified by the emergence of unique regional subcultures of surfing.

Traveling Bodies: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Traveling as an Embodied Practice explores the central role the body has in and for traveling and thus complements and expands upon existing research in travel studies with new perspectives on and insights in the entanglement of bodies and traveling. The case studies assembled in this volume discuss a variety of traveling practices, experiences, and media with chapters featuring Asian, American, and European historical and contemporary perspectives. Truly interdisciplinary in its approach, the volume identifies and examines diverse literary, historical and cultural texts, contexts, and modes in which traveling and the body intersect, including ‘classic’ travelogues, (new) media (e.g., film, digital travel apps), surf culture, and travel-inspired tattoos. The contributions offer various avenues for further research, not only for scholars working with body theory and travel (writing), but also for anyone interested in the intersections of literature, culture, media, and embodied practices of traveling.

Das Jahrbuch 'Lied und populäre Kultur' 66/2021 widmet sich musikalischen Regionen und Regionalismen in den USA. Wenn eine der Rahmungen des amerikanischen Traums das Bestreben ist, zwischen den Küsten sowohl die Diversität der regionalen Kulturen als auch den nationalen Zusammenhalt zu bewahren, so schlägt sich dies ebenso in der Vielfalt der Musikkulturen der städtischen und ländlichen Regionen der USA nieder. Daraus entsteht ein Spannungsverhältnis von Region und Nation, von Nationalismus und Regionalismus, das das Motto E pluribus unum, auch als musikalische Konstruktion der USA, herausfordert.

Questo lavoro è un’indagine etnografica del surf e della sua dimensione sociale e culturale nella regione della Gold Coast, all’estremità sud-orientale dello Stato del Queensland, in Australia. In questa area turistica dal clima mite e costantemente battuta dalle onde, il surf ha infatti trovato un’accoglienza particolare, ed è diventato parte integrante del “paesaggio antropologico”, segnando l’identità del luogo e contribuendo a definirne il patrimonio. In questo processo, nella “surfing culture” della Gold Coast hanno trovato espressione e si sono giocate istanze locali così come questioni di più ampio respiro. Tra le altre, il rapporto col mare e con la spiaggia che in Australia ha storicamente assunto una rilevanza sociale particolare, un’idea di identità nazionale fondata su principi e riferimenti prevalentemente coloniali, e la definizione delle categorie e degli attributi legati alla mascolinità.Riconducendo l’analisi delle attività fisiche e sportive entro prospettive teoriche più ampie e consolidate, tra cui gli studi sul gioco, quelli sul corpo e quelli sul consumo, l’autore comprende il surf come un’attività nella quale i praticanti, collettivamente e in maniera processuale, danno vita con le loro azioni a un complesso ma descrivibile sistema di significato, che acquisisce il suo senso a livello locale, ma in relazione costante rispetto ad ambiti di produzione culturale più ampi (nazionali, globali...). Nella prospettiva – ambiziosa forse, ma necessaria – di definire il senso e le possibilità di un’antropologia dello sport, studiare il surf in questi termini gli permette più in generale di recuperare un orizzonte di intelligibilità per tutte le pratiche fisiche e sportive che caratterizzano la contemporaneità, che mostrano tutto il loro interesse etnografico proprio in relazione ai contesti specifici in cui vengono praticate.

Surfing today evokes many things: thundering waves, warm beaches, bikinis and lifeguards, and carefree pleasure. But is the story of surfing really as simple as popular culture suggests? In this first international political history of the sport, Scott Laderman shows that while wave riding is indeed capable of stimulating tremendous pleasure, its globalization went hand in hand with the blood and repression of the long twentieth century. Emerging as an imperial instrument in post-annexation Hawaii, spawning a form of tourism that conquered the littoral Third World, tracing the struggle against South African apartheid, and employed as a diplomatic weapon in America's Cold War arsenal, the saga of modern surfing is only partially captured by Gidget, the Beach Boys, and the film Blue Crush. From nineteenth-century American empire-building in the Pacific to the low-wage labor of the surf industry today, Laderman argues that surfing in fact closely mirrored American foreign relations. Yet despite its less-than-golden past, the sport continues to captivate people worldwide. Whether in El Salvador or Indonesia or points between, the modern history of this cherished pastime is hardly an uncomplicated story of beachside bliss. Sometimes messy, occasionally contentious, but never dull, surfing offers us a whole new way of viewing our globalized world.

The research on the formation of (radical) creoles has seen an unprecedented intensification and diversification in the last 20 years. This book discusses, illustrates, and evaluates current research on creole formation based on an in-depth investigation of the processes and mechanisms that contributed to the emergence of the morphosyntactic system of the creoles of Suriname. The study draws on a rich corpus of a) natural conversational and elicited synchronic linguistic data from the Eastern Maroon Creole (EMC) and its main African substrate language, Gbe, b) published diachronic data from the EMC’s sister-language Sranan Tongo, and c) information on the early history of Suriname coming from socio-historical investigations. It suggests that mechanisms of deliberate and contact-induced change also involved in borrowing and particularly shift situations led to the initial formation of the creoles of Suriname while language-internal change played a role in their subsequent development.

The Audience in Everyday Life argues that a media audience cannot be studied in front of the television alone--their interaction with media does not simply end when the set is turned off. Instead, we must study the daily lives of audiences to find the undercurrents of media influence in everyday life. Bird provides a host of useful tools and methods for scholars and students interested in the ways media is consumed in everyday life.
