THE LAW OF THE METAL SCENE KARTONIERT (TB)

Metal Studies is a genuinely interdisciplinary research field. However  different specialist
traditions  differing theoretical and methodological approaches  and also terminological
translation difficulties make collaboration within the field difficult. This volume aims to
explore the potential and limitations of interdisciplinary work by examining an example area -
the laws of Heavy Metal - from the point of view of central disciplines. Laws are regarded as
social conventions - i.e.  rules that are made by human beings and are culturally stable.
Examples of laws include conventions of musical language  the dress code in the metal scene 
behavioural norms  and conventions in writing song lyrics. The volume includes contributions
from the fields of law  social ethics  art history  religious studies  musicology  sociology 
linguistics  and cultural history.
