Shakespeare and Fun : The Birth of Entertainment Value
In this bold, original study Hedrick proposes an early modern ‘entertainment value’ revolution, to which Shakespeare contributed and in which he played a competitive role. As London’s nascent capitalist industry developed and the variety of entertainments proliferated, theatre contributes to the birth of entertainment value and a commercial trajectory toward what Marxist critic Adorno theorizes as ‘fun,’ seen contemporaneously in LasVegasization and the election of Donald Trump to U.S.Presidency. In this innovative approach to Shakespeare’s plays through their compulsory, competitive relation to other choices from London’s entertainment industry, such as sex work and gaming, Hedrick recovers a coherent internal dynamic of theatre’s ‘pleasure enclosure’ accompanying the revolutionary logic of capital’s new cultural and economic extremes. Applying these relations to original, insightful readings of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, The Winter’s Tale, and The Taming of the Shrew, Hedrick draws from cultural studies, contemporary and personal parallels, wide-ranging historical materials, and political theory.These include: the semantic shifts in keywords of pleasure, the practice of betting on actors, the psychology of paying admission before an entertainment, and various ‘reality shows’ such as contests of prose and verse.Continual insights emerge, both broad and specific: from ten ‘entertainment value axioms’ to Shakespeare’s awareness of entertainment value’s birth at moments in his late plays, marking a logic of value crisis, bubbles, and the danger of ‘too much fun.’

Making Value : Music, Capital, and the Social
In Making Value, Timothy D. Taylor examines how people’s conceptions of value inform and shape their production and consumption of music.Drawing on anthropological value theory, Taylor theorizes music’s economic and noneconomic forms of value both ethnographically and historically.He covers the creation and exchange of value in a wide range of contexts: indie rock scenes, an Irish traditional music session, the work of music managers, how supply chains function to create various forms of value, how trendspotters seek out and create value, and how musical performances act as media of value.Taylor shows that to focus on value is to attend to what is meaningful to people as they move through their worlds.Ultimately, Taylor demonstrates that theorizing value aids us in moving beyond the music itself toward understanding how musicians, workers in the music business, and audiences struggle to make and maintain what they value.

Value
'Value' seems like an elusive and abstract concept.Nonetheless, notions of value underpin how we understand our lives, from discussions about the economic contribution of different kinds of work and productive activity, to the prices we pay for the things we consume.So what is value, and where does it come from? In this new book, Frederick Harry Pitts charts the past, present and future of value within and beyond capitalist society, critically engaging with key concepts from classical and neoclassical political economy.Interrogating the processes and practices that attribute value to objects and activities, he considers debates over whether value lies within commodities or in their exchange, the politics of different theories of value, and how we measure value in a knowledge-based economy. This accessible and intriguing introduction to the complexities of value in modern society will be essential reading for any student or scholar working in political economy, economics, economic sociology or management.

What type of entertainment do you prefer: movies, series, or music?
I prefer series because I enjoy the longer story arcs and character development that can occur over multiple episodes or seasons. I find it more engaging to follow a story over time rather than in a single sitting. Additionally, I appreciate the variety of genres and styles that series offer, allowing me to explore different types of storytelling and themes.

Is Baroque music serious music or entertainment music?
Baroque music can be seen as both serious music and entertainment music. On one hand, it was often composed for religious or ceremonial purposes, and its intricate compositions and use of counterpoint demonstrate a high level of musical sophistication. On the other hand, Baroque music was also performed in social settings and was meant to entertain and delight audiences. Its lively rhythms and expressive melodies were often used for dancing and other forms of entertainment. Therefore, Baroque music can be appreciated for its serious artistic qualities as well as its ability to provide enjoyment and entertainment.

Who Needs Classical Music? : Cultural Choice and Musical Value
During the last few decades, most cultural critics have come to agree that the division between "high" and "low" art is an artificial one, that Beethoven's Ninth and "Blue Suede Shoes" are equally valuable as cultural texts.In Who Needs Classical Music?, Julian Johnson challenges these assumptions about the relativism of cultural judgments.The author maintains that music is more than just "a matter of taste": while some music provides entertainment, or serves as background noise, other music claims to function as art.This book considers the value of classical music in contemporary society, arguing that it remains distinctive because it works in quite different ways to most of the other music that surrounds us. This intellectually sophisticated yet accessible book offers a new and balanced defense of the specific values of classical music in contemporary culture.The paperback edition includes a new preface from the author, re-contextualizing the debate ten years out.Who Needs Classical Music? will stimulate readers to reflect on their own investment (or lack of it) in music and art of all kinds.
