Since its beginnings in the late 19th century, the Blues has been more than a music style with a seminal impact on 20th century popular music. As a medium of social expression, it articulated the tribulations of an entire black culture, male and female. Discourses about race were as much an integral part of the evolution of the blues as were those of class, when young white kids - in America and European countries, especially the UK - adopted the music for their political and social ends.

The question of materiality has emerged as a central topic in studies concerned with the body, affect, sexuality, bio-politics and digital culture in recent years. Under the umbrella term “new materialism”, this interdisciplinary and multifaceted academic debate seems to have revived a Marxist vocabulary. Yet, the question of why “materiality” matters in times of crisis capitalism is rather absent in this debate.

European integration goes back over 62 years including the European Coal and Steel Community. For a long time it remained closed to popular concern, and was mainly a matter for the political class and a few professions directly affected such as civil servants, financial and industrial elites and exporters, and specialist lawyers. Everything changed when the political and economic elites decided to transform the common market, with its famous common agricultural policy, into an Economic and Monetary Union.
