Binding: Paperback
Description: The Rosary and the Microphone explores U 2 as a politically engaged band that manifests a particular brand of Christianity through the band's mediation in a global context and for a global audience. Through the primarily semiotic study of U 2's various mediations this book maps the band's strategies for negotiating its place in the world as a global band and a mediated brand and as a proponent of a kind of cosmopolitanism or global care. U 2's brand is heavily informed by Bono's own personal religious formation. This religious viewpoint is expressed in a global concern a Christian cosmopolitanism that looks outward and urges others to do the same. The Rosary and the Microphone explores U 2 in live performance through music videos and in unique media offerings such as the feature - length music video Linear.
