How does popular music produce its subject? How does it produce us
as subjects? More specifically, how does it do this through
voice--through "giving voice"? And how should we understand this
subject--"the people"--that it voices into existence? Is it
singular or plural? What is its history and what is its future?
Voicing the Popular draws on approaches from musical
interpretation, cultural history, social theory and psychoanalysis
to explore key topics in the field, including race, gender,
authenticity and repetition. Taking most of his examples from
across the past hundred years of popular music development--but
relating them to the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century
"pre-history"--Richard Middleton constructs an argument that
relates "the popular" to the unfolding of modernity itself. Voicing
the Popular renews the case for ambitious theory in musical and
cultural studies, and, against the grain of much contemporary
thought, insists on the progressive potential of a politics of the
Low.
