Description:

In the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the United States, there has been much discussion about the role of music in representing and responding to trauma. This book brings together a range of scholars from musicology, cultural studies, and other disciplines to explore the complex relationship between sound, trauma, and the music industry in the time of terror.

The book examines how music has been used to represent and respond to trauma, both in the immediate aftermath of 9/11 and in the longer term. It also explores the role of the music industry in shaping the ways in which trauma is experienced and understood.

The book is divided into three sections.

1. The first section, "Representing Trauma," examines how music has been used to represent the trauma of 9/11.
2. The second section, "Responding to Trauma," explores how music has been used to respond to the trauma of 9/11, both in the immediate aftermath and in the longer term.
3. The third section, "The Music Industry and Trauma," examines the role of the music industry in shaping the ways in which trauma is experienced and understood.

This book is a valuable resource for scholars and students interested in the relationship between music, trauma, and the music industry.
