Nick Cave, Theory of the RefrainAbstract
This article gives a detailed description of Deleuze and Guattari's theory of the refrain and argues its usefulness for an understanding of popular music. This is followed by an application of Deleuze and Guattari's theory of the refrain to a specific, and problematic, attempt at territorial formation and deformation - the appearance of Australian expatriate independent music emblem, Nick Cave, in the German auteur Wim Wenders' 1987 film Wings of Desire.)
