Press blurb: 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.
