Fashion and Music
The relationship between popular music and fashion has been a culturally significant one since the 1950s, and this book explores how music and musicians play a key role in the shaping of identity, taste and consumption. Using a range of historical and contemporary examples, this book uncovers the way in which fashion and music have worked to shape contemporary attitudes to bodies and identities. Focusing on performers as much as fans, on the mainstream as much as the underground, Fashion and Music provides a lens through which to examine themes of gender, sexuality, ageing and youth, ethnicity, body image, consumer culture, fandom and postmodernity.

'An elder in punk clothes': purged frets and finding true mugham in post-Soviet Azerbaijan
Today one encounters a striking diversity of approaches when it comes to the arrangement of scalar intervals on the tar, Azerbaijan's primary national instrument. Frets are moved, added, omitted according to the idiosyncrasies of each musician. Each tonal scheme is fervently defended and justified by various factors such as aesthetic taste, a putative knowledge of pre-Soviet mugham, the desire to highlight an 'Eastern' nature of mugham, 'mission from above', and even suggested contact with the dead. What once was a rigid structure during Soviet times has now become flexible, unhinged from the past by the experimentation, innovation, restoration and reconstitution of musicians. Through an analysis of this extended creative moment, I theorise the many attempts to reintroduce extra frets as nativism. Instead of trying to find a pattern or argue for which version is historically valid, I stress the importance of all attempts as forms of decolonial activity.

We Are Here
At 7:00 a.m., the first students arrive at the gym. Sleepy but excited, they begin setting up, making sure there are chairs for dancers and tables for vendors, organizations, and T-shirts. Finally, it’s powwow weekend. It will be hours until the singers and dancers show up, but the vendors are already here, having left home early in the morning to sell their jewelry, leather-work, and shawls. Warm-ups and grand entry are about to begin, and these are the last quiet moments before conversations, drums, jingles, and singing announce to the campus community: this is us. We are here. For Native students at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, powwow is one of the most important events of the year. It serves as both a teaching tool and a community gathering space for Native youth who often feel overlooked at a predominantly white institution (PWI). Powwows are a safe space full of laughter, community, food, music, dancing, and pride, created by and for a Native student body that is comprised of individuals from diverse tribal communities. These events provide a time for the campus to see Native students and know that they are vital to Carolina.

Organising Sound with Audio Clothes: An interview with Benoit Maubrey
Benoit Maubrey’s work with audio art started in Berlin in 1982 with public sound sculptures, and he eventually turned to performative practices with portable audio embedded in clothes and costumes. His artistic practice currently spans site-specific and non-site-specific sound installations, locational and non-locational performances, as well as performed, interactive and non-interactive sound installations, and a comprehensive description of his artistic trajectory is planned for release in 2019: Benoit Maubrey – Sound Sculptures. His most well-known ensemble is The Audio Ballerinas, wearing tutus with a combination of solar cells, light sensors, samplers, radios, amplifiers and loudspeakers. The ensemble has been performing since its debut in Lille in 1990. Maubrey has developed a huge portfolio of audio ensemble performances on several continents, and an interesting thread of autonomy and critical reflection is running through his oeuvre. The costumes and their technical affordances have changed with new technological developments, and in this interview Maubrey explains these developments, and how he has maintained and extended his artistic focus.

INCLUSION AND EXCLUSION. THE ROLE OF THE ROMANIAN ROMA MUSIC IN INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS
On the Hungarian territory, the Roma stood out as ironsmiths and musicians and received special benefits. [...]the Roma musicians are mentioned in 1489 in the city of Buda through a payment to the Roma who played the lute in front of Beatrice de Aragon, the wife of Matei Corvin, on the island of Csepel, south of Budapest17; in May 1525, 2 florins were paid to the pharaohs (Roma) who played the zither for the king at the royal race; in 1543, after Ferdinand of Habsburg took over a part of Hungary, the Roma are mentioned in a letter from Queen Isabella to the Court of Vienna, in which the excellent quality of the Egyptian musicians is mentioned, being believed as they were descendants of the pharaohs18. The empress' son, Joseph II continues the policy started by his mother, publishing, on September 12th 1782, an order regarding the Roma in Transylvania, De Reagulatione Zingarorum, which, among its stated provisions, stipulates the practice of music by the Roma only when there is no work available, followed by the Hauptregulatio ordinance on October 9th 1783, which stipulates: the prohibition of living in tents, the distribution of children of 4 years and older in neighbouring houses, the prohibition of nomadism, the prohibition of horse ownership with the purpose of selling them, the punishment with 24 club blows for eating carrion, the prohibition of marriages between the Roma, banning of beggary, forcing children to attend schools, the Roma would receive land to handle agriculture, those abandoning their homes will be brought back, the Roma houses will be numbered and they will have to adopt the clothing and language of the villages in which they settle19. The measures proposed during the reign were mainly destined to affect the travelers, and less those sedentary, nonetheless, the results were rather weak, considering their severity and harshness. [...]the sedentary Roma benefitted from tax privileges. [...]in 1844 the Moldavian ruler Mihai Sturdza frees the Roma enslaved by barons and monasteries, a gesture is very well received and appreciated by the educated young people, as well as by the western European states.
