    Habitually, the “inter” in intermediality is conceived of as the interrelation between neatly distinguishable semiotic systems and projected as intercompositional agenda. While there are benefits of such a research design it fails to fully fathom both pop music and its potential ties to the literary text. Such relations can better be grasped by including the logic of literature as social system and the mediality of communication – in fiction as well as in pop music. ‘Sonic Fictions of America’ defines pop music as medial cluster strongly informed by the indexical effects of recording technologies. How, then, does pop affect literature? More often than not, literature has shown a surprising capacity to immunize itself against the “threat” of the popular, turning to familiar forms and styles to evoke pop phenomena. Discussing a rich array of prose texts from Ralph Ellison to Bret Easton Ellis, this study delineates a rather slow shift towards the end of these self-immunizing tendencies.

    Transforming Vòdún examines how musicians from the West African Republic of Benin transform Benin's cultural traditions, especially the ancestral spiritual practice of vòdún and its musical repertoires, as part of the process of healing postcolonial trauma through music and ritual. Based on fieldwork in Benin, France, and New York City, Sarah Politz uses historical ethnography, music analysis, and participant observation to examine three case studies of brass band and jazz musicians from Benin. The multi-sited nature of this study highlights the importance of mobility, and diasporic connections in musicians' professional lives, while grounding these connections in the particularities of the African continent, its histories, its people, and its present
