Abstract
[In the late 1800s] “both the Ruhr [in Germany] and the lower Mississippi [in the U.S.] provided “trading zones” in which people with varied backgrounds met, and traded things, ideas, skills, and cosmologies to resolve social, political, and technological problems. In the years after 1865, new socio-technical and technopolitical systems provided new trading zones, in which people produced different responses in high culture and popular culture. This essay investigates responses in some zones. In developing new responses to new problems, workers and musicians created different responses in similar spaces.
