Just, SteffenSteffenJust2022-06-022014-09-0520141612-8001http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hebis:26-opus-110746https://jlupub.ub.uni-giessen.de/handle/jlupub/977http://dx.doi.org/10.22029/jlupub-846This essay examines the historical dimensions of the production of the musicmaking subject. The first part focuses on the modern conditions under which a distinctive concept of the music-making subject as »autonomous artist« could arise. The second part focuses on contemporary subject productions in popular music with a particular interest in one recent model: the music-making subject as »creative-entrepreneurial self«. This model is exemplified by a reading of self-help literature for musicians. By that, I attempt to show how music-making is guided through historical and culturally distinct (self)understandings of the subjects involved.deIn Copyrightddc:780
