MUSI 005. U.S. Pop Music History
This course will feature a survey of U.S. popular music from the late 19th century to present day. Discussion of individual case studies of music, musicians, and communities-in-music and significant movements and musicians-such as racial appropriation of R&B in 1950s rock and the performance of gender in glam rock-and will also take a look at the process of history-making by studying lesser known artists and critiquing the exclusionary practices of canon formation. We will discuss popular music as an industry and the effects of capitalist commerce on music-making, as well as political and socio-cultural interventions on music-making and distribution. Examples will include radio payola, legislated censorship, intellectual property law, public noise ordinances, reality music television, and illegal file-sharing practices.
