Yearbook of the New Europe College, 2009-2010. [Accepted]

During academic year 2009-2010, I enjoyed a Fellowship at the New Europe College in Bucharest. This allowed me to carry fieldwork in the capital, on a popular music genre called manele. The NEC Yearbook will publish my first paper on this research. It deals with the ironic and parodic aspects of manele.

Audiovisual documents available.

Most of these documents are audio recordings, which I translated using subtitles on a blue background.
