Where it came from
Published in 2009 by Ashgate, a division of the Taylor & Francis Group, this work emerged from Kevin Dawe’s extensive ethnomusicological research into the social and physical life of the guitar. The text was composed during a period when the academic study of popular music was expanding rapidly, aiming to synthesize the instrument’s transition from a physical artifact to a central icon in modern cultural and critical theory.
The book explores the guitar through the lens of 'guitarscapes,' a framework developed by Dawe to analyze the intersection of musical performance, global manufacturing, and cultural identity. By examining both the luthiery process and the performance practices of various musicians, Dawe sought to move beyond musicology into a broader sociological inquiry. It was received by the academic community as a significant contribution to the study of musical instruments as objects of cultural meaning.
