Beschreibung
This book examines the post-1960s era of popular music in the Anglo-Black Atlantic through the prism of historical theory and methods. By using a series of case studies, this book mobilizes historical theory and methods to underline different expressions of alternative music functioning within a mainstream musical industry. Each chapter highlights a particular theory or method while simultaneously weaving it through a genre of music expressing a notion of alternativity—an explicit positioning of one’s expression outside and counter to the mainstream. Historical Theory and Methods through Popular Music seeks to fill a gap in current scholarship by offering a collection written specifically for the pedagogical and theoretical needs of those interested in the topic.
Uses popular music in the United States and United Kingdom in the years between 1970 and 2000 as the entrepôt to historical theory, and examines the history of popular music through alternative, or non-mainstream artists
Fills a pedagogical gap for instructors teaching courses on historical theory and methodologies
Presents historical theory and methodologies in an accessible manner, but also models the applicability of such approaches
