- Title
« CRISE » DANS LES INDUSTRIES DE LA MUSIQUE AU QUÉBEC. ÉBAUCHE D'UN DIAGNOSTIC.
- Authors
GRENIER, Line
- Abstract
This article examines the so-called "crisis" of the music industry. It presents first a descriptive analysis of the public discourse in Quebec on that topic, including a presentation of associated facts and figures (e.g., symptoms, people in charge, action). Then, to initiate what Foucault termed "événementialisation," i.e., the analysis of discourse and practices as dimensions of events, the author examines the conditions of possibility and intelligibility of this discourse, whether it be about the "crisis" or a part of it. The author describes the production of CDs as the predominant form of musical communication, and the effectiveness of the "crisis" as a structuring principle within the endogenous industrialization of music.
