Who appears in musicals, who or what they are meant to represent, and how, over time, those representations have been understood and interpreted, provide the very basis for our engagement with the genre. In this third volume of the reissued \u003cem\u003eOxford Handbook of the American Musica\u003c\/em\u003el, chapters focus on race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality, regional vs. national identity, and the cultural and class significance of the musical itself. As important as the question of who appears in musicals are the questions of who watches and listens to them, and of how specific cultures of reception attend differently to the musical. Chapters thus address cultural codes inherent to the genre, in particular those found in traditional school theater programs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRaymond Knapp\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Musicology at the University of California, Los Angeles. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMitchell Morris\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor of Musicology at the University of California, Los Angeles. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStacy Wolf\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor in the Program in Theater and Director of the Princeton Atelier in the Lewis Center for the Arts at Princeton University.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 264\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 8.2 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 28, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42150481002631,"sku":"9780190877798","price":51.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/5618515d262de5bf6fc0c5fc921a0df9.webp?v=1733199872","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/identities-and-audiences-in-the-musical-an-oxford-handbook-of-the-american-musical-volume-3-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
