In this book, Alison Stone argues that popular music since
rock-'n'-roll is a unified form of music which has positive value.
That value is that popular music affirms the importance of
materiality and the body, challenging the long-standing Western
elevation of the intellect above all things corporeal. Stone also
argues that popular music's stress on materiality gives it
aesthetic value, drawing on ideas from the post-Kantian tradition
in aesthetics by Hegel, Adorno, and others. She shows that popular
music gives importance to materiality in its typical structure: in
how music of this type handles the relations between matter and
form, the relations between sounds and words, and in how it deals
with rhythm, meaning, and emotional expression. Extensive use is
made of musical examples from a wide range of popular music genres.
This book is distinctive in that it defends popular music on
philosophical grounds, particularly informed by the continental
tradition in philosophy.
