“My work is concerned with how music is used, experienced and mediated in everyday life, especially by those on the margins of society”

Praise for Dangerous Mediations:
“Áine Mangoang’s Dangerous Mediations: Pop Music in a Philippine Prison Video is innovative and timely… Building on existing literature on music and power, subversion, trauma, colonialism, and violence, the author offers a serious interrogation of the complicity of performers, audiences, and media in shaping power dynamics and subjectivities in a globalized postcolonial context. While focused on a narrowly contained case, the applicability of the ethical questions raised resonate across media studies, music studies, postcolonial studies, and beyond.”
The IASPM-US Awards Committee (2021)
“In this rich ethnographic case study, Áine Mangaoang brings together a welcome, provocative and highly original mix of music, YouTube and prison. She raises thoughtful questions about participation and incarceration, leisure and exploitation, the global and the local, that will resonate far beyond her case.”
Nancy Baym, Author of Playing to the Crowd: Musicians, Audiences, and the Intimate Work of Connection (NYU Press)
