Document Summary
Aural territorialization - creating your own space that is personal, economic, or political. Autotopia - a space that"s not only physical but also a place where you feel safe and can move around in (ex: wearing headphones, escaping the moment) Cultural imperialism - when a certain culture dominates. Big 4 - bmi, sony, universal, warner => multinational corporations. Warner is run by us, universal is french, sony is japanese. Western man saves foreign musicians by giving them opportunities to become popular but they can"t grow and create their own music. Aural/musical tourism - when a listener wants authentic (white-washed, watered down version) of world music. Western listeners enjoy it for the novelty, a way to engage in the culture. Seems superior because they are listening to worldly music. This idea of authentic music creates stereotypes, but its really just pre-modern music.
