Description
This book brings together fourteen scholars from the humanities and social sciences to creatively and productively focus their conceptual tools, methodologies, and disciplinary norms on analyzing the improvisational rock band Phish and the subculture of their fanbase. Each chapter explores some aspect of the Phish Phenomenon, whether philosophical, legal, musical, statistical, and/or cultural. Phish Studies is by its very nature multidisciplinary, relying on multiple approaches and methodologies to theorize and analyze the band and its scene; the volume reflects this diversity, representing the fields of musicology, philosophy, communications, statistics, law, and more.
