Urban performance practices: the tribute band phenomenon Interactions between the arts are dramatically increasing, challenging academic views which formerly strictly separated one realm from the other.

In live popular music, for instance, tribute bands have recently been gaining large favour. But what exactly is a tribute band? Why such a success today and not at the time of the pop-rock explosion? Are there further socio-cultural meanings to this practice? Could it be seen as a form of «ritualized resistance» to market strategies?[...]

Abstract
Urban performance practices: the tribute band phenomenon Interactions between the arts are dramatically increasing, challenging academic views which formerly strictly separated one realm from the other. Beyond the idea of work of art as an object, made and finished by an individual author, we are now experiencing art as an open praxis and an action of collective consumption. Theatre and music growingly blend together under the label of performing arts, involving the execution of something which has been previously prepared and rehearsed. In live popular music, for instance, tribute bands have recently been gaining large favour. But what exactly is a tribute band? Why such a success today and not at the time of the pop-rock explosion? Are there further socio-cultural meanings to this practice? Could it be seen as a form of «ritualized resistance» to market strategies?[...]I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
