Full textThe term Rock’n’roll became firstly known in the Western society in the fifties due to the phenomenal success of Elvis Presley. A combination of blues, rhythm’n’blues, doo-wop and country music, the new genre of Rock’n’roll music has been extremely popular in the US, where it is seen as the synonym of youth and rebellion.The very first page of the Chinese rock, the “Yaogun”, was turned on May 9th 1986, when a big charity concert in the name of ‘The International Year of Peace’ took place at the famous Beijing Workers’ Stadium. During this concert, a young and unfamous musician Cui Jian performed a song written by himself, which is titled “I Have Nothing”.This thesis investigates the Yaogun phenomenon in order to achieve some understanding of the mechanisms underlying cultural dynamics in contemporary China. It situates the Chinese rock in the context of the development of “market economy" in China during the last three decades. The author applies Guy Debord’s key concept of “integrated spectacle” to illustrate and analyze the development of Chinese rock in the social, historical and political nexus

Full textThe aim of the thesis is to show how what is called "rock", music, spirit or culture, is the result of a continued process of collective action which settles rock among the musical landscape and among the mobilizable categories used to think popular music and more generally to think culture and society and the room people occupy in them. Rock appears in the context of post-war economic growth, development of musical industry and emergence, in all the industrialized countries, of adolescence and post-adolescence. But it is the product of the action of individuals, groups or institutions who consider certain musics and certain ways to consume and produce music as having specific qualities and who create around them forms of collective action and social organization concerning production, diffusion, esthetical homologation of musical works, their evaluation, their consumption and their conservation. In the first part, the subjective conditions of existence of rock is concerned : consumption and production of a specific music become an occasion for social debates, first as social problem then as "real culture" supported, in france, by government. The second part is a series of studies on different aspects of rock : consumption of rock among college students ; relationship between rock and drugs ; social, racial or geographical basis of different experience of rock ; local conditions of french rock emergence ; relationship between a kind of music and the identies of musician ; careers in radio rock

Full textJazz musics and rock musics are approached through description and subjective interpretation rather than analysis, in an articulated continuity of expressions within lived experience. These musics are described according to this approach from origins, in their related cultural and geographical contexts. Fundamentale of styles characteristics are examined. Developments of these musics are closely related to the crucial, rapid changes and the cultural shock of twentieth century, and the corollary quest for identity in industrialized nations. Jazz musics offer an artistical balance between intellectualistic and primitivistic expressions that reflects the need of balance within contemporary world. Continuous tension between rock musics spontaneity and its rationalization by music business is regarded as creative and cultural expression
Ferrand, Laure. "La vie en rock : une approche compréhensive de la culture rock par ses acteurs : les amateurs." Paris 5, 2010. http://www.theses.fr/2010PA05H010.
Full textRock music, that was born in the middle 1950’s in the United States, has developed practices and an imaginary that we try to catch through a central actor in rock culture : the amateurs. By describing their careers, from the discovery of music to the different positions of listening, from the collective experiences of attachment to music (like Internet forums) to the concert, the aim is to understand how rock is appropriated, made and celebrated, and to go beyond the idea of a passive consumer. Furthermore, this work offers a study of social representations. With the amateurs speeches, the biographical and journalistic treatment, a study of imagery, we notice an elaboration of a rock mythical time which is represented by the 1950’s and 1960’s. Beside rockers representations are numerous and reflect the wealth of this culture. From those embodying the saying “Sex, drug and rock’n’roll” to the birth of the professional figure, the rock artist is presented as a messenger and a guide to daily life. He crystallizes the collective genius as the festivals offering images of community and “turmoil” do. These last perpetuate psychedelic imaginary and offer a rhythm to life in rock. So the idea of a tribal singularity appears, that is the production of a sense, a temporality, a spatiality and an imagination that is specific to the world of rock

Full textThis thesis is a monograph of a social group called "the Circle of rock" by Peking based rock musicians. It is a contribution to the study of individualism in China at the beginning of the 1990's. Three structures of rock groups can be defined through the analysis of rehearsals and recording sessions. The first one, holistic, grouped on a status system based on a relationship of authority, is of confucian tradition. The second one, grounded on an enormous difference of status between the band leader and the musicians, with a relationship of authority at the musical level and a relationship of power at the social level, is aof legalist tradition so I call it "imperial". The third one is more modern, I call it "open" because it relies on actors from outside the group. These rock musicians are bound by a relationship of friendship. The meaning of the expression "elder brothers" used to call one's close friends is akin to the wester word for "brothers". It defines these "elder brothers" as equal in status simultaneously as above other members of society. The inferior complementary opposite of the binary couple of Chinese thought (the yin and yang concept), represented by the "younger brother", tends to be evacuated. Rock songs show how Chinese traditional values, holistic or imperial, fight the modern value-idea of the autonomous individual. At the level of the rock Circle, rites structure this society through dancing events called parties. At the global level of China, the "emotions" expressed during rock concerts unite a society which has been torn apart by the 1989 events

Full textIn the early 1980s, regional rock music in France was dominated by an anti-institutional discourse that lead those involved to develop a lifestyle on the margin of traditional cultural institutions. A decade later, professionalism becomes an increasingly integral component of rock music with the growing importance of veritable musical institutions, institutions whose emergence came in part out of growing support of public authorities. Founded on surveys conducted in the Franche-Comté region, a study has attempted to understand better the forces behind this evolution in music characterized by electric amplification. The problem lies within the theory of symbolic domination in relationships and is demonstrated through Pierre Bourdieu's "field" theory. The theory uses an analysis of the changes that is described in terms of a processes of cultural legitimization, and, inseparably, an institutionalization of musical practices. The understanding of the direction of the evolution of amplified music is thus rooted in the social struggles that shape the "territorial field of amplified music", and in the area occupied there by authorities. The comprised hypothesis explains the authorities as not being determinant in the issue of the struggles, but in their outcome. To see our study through to a successful end, we were obliged to construct an analytical model that reconstitutes the totality of the process : before and after the institutionalization. We had to link to Pierre Bourdieu's "field" concept, Howard S. Becker's concept of the "world". Thus the study gives importance to the reading of archives and participant observation and in vivo in order to reconstruct and the structural and behavioral transformations using ethnographic description. The significance of the transformations was gathered from interviews with heads of the musical institutions taken for the study. In this way is became possible to clearly show the mechanisms that accompanied the appearance of a sphere established on the model of sophisticated cultural spheres, and to observe the changes that the institutionalization of amplified music introduced, in the form of sociability and socialization, in the nature itself of musical culture, and, in the same manner, in the meaning that the music embodies for those that live it
Seca, Jean-Marie. "L'état acide : analyse psycho-sociale des minorités rock." Paris 10, 1987. http://www.theses.fr/1987PA100037.
Full textThis work concerns the process of social recognition of rock groups whose social visibility is very limited. These groups are called rock minorities in reference to the theory of social influence developed by S. Moscovici (social influence and social change, London academic press, 1976). More precisely, acid state's model designates the anomic minorities’ experience of social recognition. The rock minorities are defined as anomic because they are formed in order to create their own code and they depend on majority in regards of their social recognition. So, their code is at the same time a project and a stake of social recognition, it is internal and external. The acid state is manifested: -by a state of social ambiguity (ambivalence) dominated by an indetermination of the minority's goals and code; -by a modern experience of the social effervescence (defined by Durkheim), that is to say a socialization of a sensation (as far as a code) who receives meaning by becoming public. The acid state is a theoretical model of the socialization by means of the practice of a mass art form. This model lightens the understanding of the process of the socio-psychological transformation resulting from the passage of the stage of consumer (even active consumer) to the situation of creator of its own norms. The empirical investigations were realized in a Parisian underground auto-park where rock groups live. A questionary inquiry (106 groups) and an ethnographic approach by collective interviews (44) form the biggest part of the data. The empirical research is completed by a questionary concerning the image of rock groups among Parisian high-school students. The thesis (first volume, 532 pages) is divided in four parts: -the acid state (theoretical construction of the model); -the underground shade (a rock "milieu" description); -the rock fluid (representations of the rock creation and ritual); -the public mystery (representations of the destination of the rock message and audience). The annexe part (second volume) contrains 405 pages

Full textThe aim of this thesis is to understand the way the world of rock in Lorraine works. It is based on an ethnographic fieldwork added to sociology of mediation. From this point of view, the world of rock can be considered like a world populated by human and not-human mediators. It follows that reality is composed by an heterogeneous mix of actors, objects and devices. Where each one acts and makes act. Consequently, they are as much produced by the world of rock than the world of rock is produced by them. Their collective action is distributed within networks. Networks of bodies and things, which hold and make the world of rock as far as they are also networks of tastes and attachments. Which are connected with each others by means of many experiences

Full textThis study examines the repertoires that, while rooted in the tradition of rock, transcend the boundaries - stylistic but also sociological and economic - of rock itself: for this reason they are often grouped together in the "genre" of experimental rock. My research focuses on a selection of artists who are universally considered to be experimental rock artists, namely Frank Zappa, the collective Rock In Opposition, as well as the Italian band Yugen, still active and in a way heir to Rock In Opposition. The analysis of the artistic approaches of these artists, and of the socio-economic framework in which they operate, calls into question the idea that experimental rock can exist as a true genre of music.The study follows a multidisciplinary approach. The first step is to define the musical, sociological and economic characteristics of rock music, and to understand to what extent the notion of experimentation has been integrated into rock throughout history. Next, I focus on the socio-economic positioning of the musicians who are the subject of the research. Finally, in the second part of the thesis, several pieces from the repertoire of these musicians are analyzed, in order to understand the specificity and diversification of their artistic paths

Full textBased on a study of two protest rock movements in Belarus, this thesis examines the phenomenon of politicisation in an authoritarian regime. The “national” rock emerged in the 1980s as a modern artistic movement inspired by Western music conventions. Singing in Belarusian, this scene aspired to promote a heterodox vision of “national identity”. The authoritarian turn in 1995-1996 provoked protest re-politicisation of this artistic movement. “National” rock musicians continued to claim the “underground” status, while aspiring to professionalisation and commercial production. Against the backdrop of the authoritarian change, another protest movement emerged in the mid-1990s. Following the internationalised Do-It-Yourself model, the DIY anarcho-punk is closely linked to anarchist groups and promotes amateurism, limited artistic production and radical political expression. Based on the example of the two artistic movements, this thesis studies the logics of politicisation and the modes of political protest
Chastagner, Claude. "La mécanique du rock : fonction et fonctionnement dans la culture anglo-saxonne." Nice, 1992. http://www.theses.fr/1992NICE2006.
Full textRock-music appeared and developed in anglo-saxon countries, a paradox as these countries still bear the trace of their puritan past. Indeed, religious fervour and distrust of the body seeem hardly reconcilable with the sexuality and violence of rock-musc. But more thana mere reaction, rock is rather the counterpart of puritanism. Its emphasis on the body, on dance and sexuality reveals a yearning for the same purity, the same paradise lost. The violence of the music, its repetitiveness, the drugs induced trances have a spiritual meaning. Rock music endeavours to establish a relationship with the other. Like puritanism, it tries to define the statuteof the individual within the community. The balance is unstable, tensions appear that can only be resolved through violence. This process exposes the ritualistic nature of rock-music. Despite the adulation, the rock-star is a sacrificial victim. Its expulsion lays the foundation of the community as did, in puritan settlements, the rejection of dissidence

Full textThis dissertation analizes the myth of the wild side such as it has been represented in theAmerican fifties through rock ’n’ roll. Teen rebellion is seen as a social fact which stirred up anew representation of the modern wild side, through ideals confronted to the adult world andits own ideals. Then we try to find the reasons why rock ’n’ roll, and more specifically ElvisPresley’s music, appeared as a musical genre which embodied and purveyed that wild side.Analysing two different versions of Hound Dog – the typically African American version of« Big Mama » Thornton and Elvis Presley’s rock ’n’ roll creation – allows us to underline theinnovations brought by rock ’n’ roll and the representations of wilderness : the birth of ElvisPresley’s style, which we can reason through the idea of cross-pollination, then thecrystallisation of a typically wild style that reveals various innovations through thecondensation of various musical elements coming from the most rejected musics in the UnitedStates. Then we explain through music itself how the wild side became a tangible reality inrock ’n’ roll, a creative dynamic and the expression of a « moderate excess ». Finally, weconfront those representations of the wild thing to the music played by Jerry Lee Lewis, LittleRichard and Link Wray. Musicology sheds light on the innovations contained in their ownpersonal styles and the reality of their musical particularities thus allowing us to show thewild side as a crucial thing in the creation of rock ’n’ roll

Full textThe research analyses the social back-up of musical practices from musical groups who have played "rock'n'roll (non-traditional popular music)" for several years. These practices cannot be merely classified as a kind of past-time for youngsters, they highlight a social segmentation and complexity which is beyond any simple sociological categorisation. "A comprehensive sociological analysis aims at grasping both the nature and the form of such an involvement ; the purpose is to analyse a process that appears closely linked to the characteristics and social values carried by rock'n'roll while being engraved within a social background devoted to the collective imagination". The development of the "identity" shows "the resistance of individuals to be organised and classified" according to any social norms and establishes, within the area of a socio-historical reality, the sense of togetherness and acting collectively which questions the very basis of the subject

Full textThe french rock press of the Nineties remains attached to the mediation (resulting from the Sixties and Seventies) rock - rebellion of the youth. But this music is not any more exclusively appreciated by the young people (who often prefer other styles, while the former young people claim their right to appreciate it) and appears increasingly subjected to economic logics (thus far away from the original counter-cultural positions). This forces the writers to open their comprehension of rock and youth to new definitions more in agreement with the time : acceptance of the electronic music, ageing in the rock, etc. Besides this transformation of their subject of analysis, the journalists are confronted with another difficulty : this type of publications is above all an identity press, that the public purchase to find reference marks. The specialized press must convince its readers that precedings definitions (musical, but also sociocultural) that it used to diffuse must be questionned. This more especially as, at the end of the decade, the appearance of new technologies (democratization of the CD copy, downloads on the Internet) imposes a public discussion on the cost of musical creation, therefore a more significant media coverage of its economic requirements. This research work is structured around the analysis of the discursive arguments employed by the specialized journalists to give media coverage to this rock's change of identity

Full textHe goal of the thesis is to establish a physiognomy of musical maximalism in popular music’s repertoire, specifically that of the Progressive Rock through the example of King Crimson. I applied, for that purpose, to identify what were the elements of the rock idiom subjected to the process of maximalization, and what features of the Progressive Rock’s language were borrowed from outside musical genres.The thesis comprises two major chapters. The first explores the writing techniques and the aesthetics of popular music, as interested in issues of musical language, improvisation and meaning, in a corpus ranging from blues to pop music. The second part details the way in which occurs the process of maximalization of musical structures (harmony, rhythm, form) in the English Progressive Rock’s repertoire. The example of King Crimson is noteworthy insofar as the approach of musicians was to combine the energy of African-American rock to a musical vocabulary derived from early 20th century Western art music. So are used pitch structures involving a division of the octave at the interval-class 6, which produces, among other things, the octatonic scale. The analysis of “Larks' Tongues in Aspic” shows how are combined different pitch structures, such as interval cycles, tetrachords, the octatonic scale and the diatonic scale

Full textRock'n'roll album cover, as a product of the cultural industry, is subjected to the requirements of profitability and depends on the codes of the social groups for which it is intended. Created by artists with various skills, this medium has showed since the Sixties a real strength and an inventiveness. Evoking in filigree the still ignored activity of the artists (graphic designers, illustrators) who are the authors of these covers, this research is focused at first on the ambiguous status of the rock'n'roll album cover, a mass-producted object, and paints a picture of this singular discipline of graphic creation. The second part explains the connection between multiple references to official and popular arts and the subversive range of a protesting form of expression. Lastly, the third part is interested in the close links between image and music : as a synesthesic art, the rock'n'roll album cover sometimes attempts to achieve a graphic transcription of the music. It aims at suggesting a personal universe, strongly contributing to structure a visual identity closely related to the performances during the shows

Full textThe Sixties appears in rock music history as a kind of a Golden Age. This period is marked by social and political upheavals whose echo is found in popular music. Psychedelic rock is one of the artistic expressions born in the creative boiling from the time. Taking as pretexts the catch of hallucinogenic drugs, rock musicians see this time of creativity as an occasion to enlarge and to diversify their language by integrating new elements. Thus psychedelic rock composes its universe by mixing all the references which pass to its range, literature, comics, oriental music…without establishing hierarchy between them. This work tries to set psychedelic movement in its historical and artistic context, and to establish the principal musical characteristics of the psychedelism while being interested in the various aspects of this music: bands, musical plays influenced by the catch of hallucinogens, texts, shows…in order to understand which elements are found today in the current rock language and in which proportions

Full textThis work tries to characterize the electro-jazz as a musical style, which has emerged in the middle of the nineties. We analyze a wide range of musical influences coming from Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock’s funk, Pat Metheny or Terje Rypdal. Linked to the artistic and commercial orientation of the ECM label, the electro-jazz presents aerial atmospheres, often suggested by the graphics on the cover discs. In Europe and Scandinavian countries, ECM has contributed to a particular and innovative repertoire for the electro-jazz on an aesthetical aspect. The label has mixed acoustic and electrical musical elements, by integrating melodico-rhythmical motives from contemporary electronic popular musics. Electro-jazz style has been perceived as a new refreshing music for jazz, but nowadays much less. In the hypothesis of an aesthetical renewal, or a mutation, we will focus on George Lewis and Steve Coleman works, who since the beginning of the eighties have proposed an alternative way for relationships between improvisers, the instrumental material and the electronic. Those jazzmen have shown an interest towards the encounter with an interactive computer system. The diffusion of this jazz is still confidential, and this music is heard by a little community. It does not follow a commercial prospect. The mix between jazz language and an interactive system seems to be an interesting new way for the future electronic jazz
Benetollo, Anne. "Rock et politique : censure, opposition, intégration." Paris 1, 1997. http://www.theses.fr/1997PA010656.
Full textThe point of this work is to analyse the ambiguous relationship between rock and the political world in the united states. Three occurences are feasible : when politics censure, when the artists commit themselves politically and when the politicians use the artists, particularly with a political end in view. The eighties and more exactly 1985 - constitute a privileged period for the observation of the intricate bonds that link rock and politics. Why? On the one hand, in 1985, we attented the birth of an association which was created by some politicians' wives : the parents' music resource center (pmrc), (whose aim is, though it denies it, to censure some rock songs), and on the other hand, the mid-eighties were marked by the first charity concerts. What is surprising is that a tiny part of rock performers are fighting against the PMRC; most of them have invested in those charity concerts, and their only political commitment lies in this. We simultaneously notice that even in the eighties the politicians have not always have a conflicting relationship with rock stars (the latest often being won over by politicians). Although this work is based on the mid-eighties, it is necessary to go back to the previous decades so as to study the advance which entailed the explosion of the pmrc. This will enable us to show how politics - or let's say the establishment - has always clashed with this musical trend and censured it (in fact, we realize that rock has always been blamed for the same things, and in this way the pmrc hasn't invented anything). This will also enable us to study the political commitment of the artists at important moments of the history of rock, and at last to underline the privileged relationship politicians were able to weave with some rock performers

Full textIn the second half of the sixties, rock music and rock criticism emerge in the United States. The protagonists of the two spheres gather to create a sense of camaraderie, but a third field also arises from that encounter. It is first and foremost a literary one, neither really musical, nor completely criticism-oriented. As a result, it challenges us to discuss rock criticism in order to better understand literature rather than music. Lester Bangs in particular dwells within that apparent paradox. As the figurehead of this little group of authors formed in early rock fanzines and magazines, he not only describes the rock myths but also discusses the way they are written. The portrait of the “aspiring writer” originating from the tradition of “literary journalism” also appears in his texts. This links the conditions of writing in the press to the situation of the fresh writer-to-be in literature. Similarly, auguries and echoes of such discourses can be found during the same period in American “direct cinema” and French rock criticism. For instance Donn Alan Pennebaker already underlines in 1965 the need for a non-journalistic criticism on rock in his documentary Dont Look Back. Later, Yves Adrien follows Lester Bangs works. Finally, forty years on, Nick Tosches, Peter Guralnick, Greil Marcus and Lenny Kaye continue today to reshape verbally this initial experience of writing and publishing. This thesis studies the unexpected birth of a new literary field through mythography. Though short-lived, it was nonetheless fecund

Full textUnderstanding the complexity and the dynamic of satisfaction and loyalty interactions became a strategic goal for organizations. Unlike most researches on this topic, this work deals with the service sector and particularly with rock music festivals which are cultural services. It can be distinguished by its longitudinal perspective and by its double measure of loyalty (intention and behavior). Besides, this study is the first that carry out a panel by internet in the cultural field. The results of the satisfaction-loyalty longitudinal survey show that this latter is fleeting and that the festivalgoers loyalty behavior is strongly influenced by the loyalty behavior of the people who participated with them at the last festival. The social link weight is clearly demonstrated

Full textSince the 1950’s, rock importantly diversified itself. It became a complex and heterogeneous cultural object. It is now hard to typify the genre as a strictly American or English production. Local and national scenes are effectively developping. Some of them even know international success and bring me to point two facts : 1) English language and culture are no longer the exclusive cultural references of rock production. New national identities now integrate it. 2) Nonetheless, rock aesthetic is still highly recognizable.The aim of this study is to analyse the articulation between rock aesthetic and national culture in the iconography of Finnish and German bands. I adopt a socio-semiotic methodology for analysis. This articulation is remarkable in imagery but also in music. It find its origins in a global social and cultural context, and also in the mutations of the musical industry.After this work, we can produce the following conclusions : 1) Firstly we can conclude that the evolutions of cultural industries and globalised culture toward multiculturalism favoured the developpment and the visibility of national rock scenes. Structuration of the musical economy played also an importantpart. Moroever, the phenomenon is not new. Effectively, the British rock scene is an early example of it since the 1960’s. 2) Then, the evolution and the diversification of rock aesthetic as a result of acculturation create good conditions for the emergence of new identities in rock music. We notice the use of different strategies to express the national in music, such as specialisation into a genre, musical innovation or inscription of music in the local cultural environment
Dorin, Stéphane. "La globalisation des formes culturelles : le jazz et le rock à Calcutta." Paris, EHESS, 2005. http://www.theses.fr/2005EHES0072.
Full textThe idea of this survey came from a questionning about the changes initiated by globalization in the way popular music functions as a deeply localized symbolic system. The jazz and rock scene in Calcutta gives an opportunity to grasp western popular music's flows from the vantage point of a place associated by contemporary imagination with destitution and left out from the great movement of globalization. Now, Calcutta's rock music, in its most typically american and british forms as well as in its stylistic innovations such as Jibonmukhi music and Bangla rock, is beautifully creative since the early 1990s. Only an ethnographic shift away from cultural global flows' centers allows us to understand the ways in which circulating global cultural forms are appropriated

Full textThis research proposes to examine a subgenre of Extreme Metal, Black Metal, in the country where it emerged and during the decade that saw its rise, namely Norway and the 1990s. As no similar work has ever been done on the subject, we wish to fill the existing void. Firstly, through extensive historical research, in particular on the relations between the different actors of this network. Secondly, by an analysis of the ideologies and imaginations carried by Black Metal in Norway.Thirdly, through an analysis of its music and the more general reception of Black Metal

Full textThis thesis deals with the pregnancy of satanic and pagan imaginaries in our society, considering the case of young and topical music : extreme metal. Born on 1970, the metal is a rock's toughening and the extreme metal is itself a metal's one. It's getting more and more popular at the sight of the first place occupied by the Finnish metal group in Eurovision 2006. We study it here by its musicians prism and music production. This thesis comes back, in three major parts divided into six chapters, on the extreme metal history and its logical ascensional, its musicians' typology (initiation, training, confirmation), the cultural marginality of this postmodern tribe and at last the issue on the relationship between satanism/paganism and extreme metal - findings are already draft at the time of our vocationnal training at Mission Interministerielle de Vigilance et de Lutte centre les Derives Sectaires. Scientific findings of this issue return in detail the significant range of the biaised media's treatment awarded to this metal's phenomenon in France

Full textThe concept of sound is the foundation of the technical concerns of those who make rock - sound engineers, of course, but musicians and record producers as well. Its apprehension involves notions which were irrelevant to the realm of art music until the late forties: arrangements, sound recording, balance, mixdown, panning, sound treatment. . . Many terms the meaning of which classical musicologists are often ignorant, and as many parameters the musicological study of such a repertoire must take into account. Considering from their point of view the work of a band whom Greil marcus states "they were rock 'n' roll", it can be hoped to develop an approach adapted to the practical reality of this music ; and beyond the case of the Beatles, to bring to light the very nature of its connections with the recording studio and phonographic medium

Full textThis research is a contribution to the study of English loanwords in French. It is essentially a synchronic study of 974 different anglicism’s taken mainly from the French pop rock music press, which have been analysed from various angles : i> from a syntactic angle ; namely the distribution between different syntactic categories (nouns, adjectives, verbs, etc. ), the use of typographical markings, word order (especially adjectives with nouns), gender choice for loaned nouns, the degree of morphosyntactic "gallicization". Ii> a comparison of language registers used for the same word in French and English, and the changes in register resulting from the transfer from English to French. Ii> dates : the links between the influx of loanwords and sociolinguistic factors were noted. In addition, we carried out four surveys concerning the application of gender to borrowed nouns, French attitudes to loanwords and to their officially recommended French equivalents, and the level of knowledge and frequency of use of loanwords by young French speakers. These had the overall aim of estimating the degree of penetration and acceptance of English loanwords in French. Although a large number of English loanwords were found in our sources and seem to be easily accepted by young French speakers, our research demonstrates that the French language system in is little danger. Moreover, they form an important resource for the production of slang and the creation of neologisms in French

Full textThe discourse on American popular music is fraught with geographical terms whose function is not merely to situate or to categorize music. This lexical field points to the existence of a geomusical imagination around American popular music, which attributes value and meaning to genres and styles that can be traced back to specific locales. Such rootedness is interpreted as a sign of authenticity in the musical discourse. For that reason, geographic authenticity has been fabricated by the music industry in order to increase the value of cultural products. In the same way, local authorities and the tourism industry have promoted the musical image of specifc places in order to make them more attractive to residents and visitors alike. Such initiatives can be considered as applied geomusicality, and decrease the gap between geomusical fiction and geographic reality. This study explores the many facets of geomusicality, from the American journalistic discourse to local initiatives that aim at promoting the musical image of places. It closes on a case study devoted to New Orleans after hurricane Katrina. The way the “cradle of jazz” was represented in the news and in official discourses as well as the musical reactions to the hurricane allow one to assess the many implications of geomusicality and its hold on popular imaginations

Full textThe purpose of this thesis is to reveal the roots underlying the musical creation of the sixties in the West, in particular within psychedelic rock. To do this, the thesis operates a study of the social context that surrounds and inspires this period, highlighting the primacy of the Gnostic experience of psychedelia in the process of apprehension of existence, as well as artistic creation. The initiatory path, starting from the individual to reach the global reshaped by means of utopia, permeates most of the sound and musical innovations of rock of this decade. And, more than a simple protest break, it seems to be part of the continuity of certain artistic trends (symbolism, Dadaism, surrealism ...), while borrowing modern means (from emerging cybernetics) that correspond at the bottom of claimed thought, celebrating the emerging universal communion in a Gnostic view of existence

Full textChapter 1, Rock Bands: Matching, Recording & Work Organization,4 investigates the impact of partnerships, matching, and work organization on the success of rock musicians using a unique database of 1,494 albums released between 1970 and 2004. We show that rock bands differ in their work organization because the agreements between the members of band are different. These agreements can be seen as implicit contracts. Drawing on this observation, we develop a model where agents (musicians) with different levels of creativity match (to form a band) and produce a joint output (a song). We show that the way agents match (positively or negatively) is correlated with success and depends on the (in)completeness of contracts. The theoretical results are supported by the data.
Chapter 2, Musical Characteristics and Success in Commercial Music, analyzes the relationship between musical characteristics, that can objectively be measured, and different types of success (commercial success, critical success, and success assessed by music lovers). We show that the strength and the direction (positive or negative) of the relationship between success and musical characteristics vary with the measure of success.
The third chapter goes in a slightly different direction than the two others as it deals with long term reputation of composers rather than commercial success of pop-rock musicians. Chapter 3, The Formation of the Canons of the Baroque Music, analyzes the reputation of baroque composers over time. The dataset makes it possible to describe the evolution of composers’ reputation and of the baroque canon. The entries in seven important musical dictionaries written between 1790 and 2000 are used to measure reputations. We provide evidence that a consensus exists between musicologists, who often rely on their predecessors’ work.

Full textThis study analyses representations of British cultural identity in Damon Albarn's music. Albarn became a household name with Blur, an English band that was associated with the Britpop movement in the 1990s. Britpop openly articulated popular music and the question of Britishness which was defined in exclusive terms as most Britpop artists were white, male, guitar-based, English bands.By focusing on Albarn’s various musical projects after the end of Britpop, the aim is to understand how its aesthetics and politics are de-constructed. At the turn of the century, Albarn distanced himself with the exclusive rhetoric of Britpop as he started to express a more inclusive, multicultural understanding of British identity. Through three different case studies, it is contended that Albarn’s understanding of British cultural identity is predicated on specific music genres and their own sets of discourse. The study spans over a period of twelve years marked by a renewed interest in Britishness as the multicultural model in British politics is questioned, new countries join the European Union and more devolution for Scotland is discussed. The last part of the study focuses on Albarn’s involvement in the Cultural Olympiad in 2012 and serves to show how music works as a medium that allows the articulation of contrasted, and at times, contradictory representations of British cultural identity

Full textFor each time, there is a Myth, and the Myth of the sixties wore a new face: it has been called the «psychedelic revolution». By purifying the Doors of Perception, existential aesthetes powered by drunkenness and the eudemonism of a whole acid-generation, lit the myth of the Light Show up. The Light Show is neither a matter of drug, nor a simple counterculture tale. Through its total aesthetics: its emergent conditions, its efficient process and experience must be considered in a total way too. It doesn’t consist in making myths anymore, but to reconnect with the Myth of Creation by exalting the participatory matter, in an aesthetics which reconciles the audience with the Essence of Being and the Essence of Things: a bridge towards the infinite. It is based on the artistic alternative process from regular LSD trip, elaborated around a total show modus operandi, with all its aesthetic contradictions based on dichotomies: the nature of participation and creation in transcendental art, as well as the place and value of theatricality in such a “pure” and cathartic show also known as «psychedelic theaters”. Thus, for a night, for a cosmic journey, the lysergic generation participates to these psychedelic celebrations blending rock concert, liquid slides, films, strobe and colored lights that imprint the atmosphere and the audience with metaphysical vibrations. Synesthesic show, electric theatre and ritual incantation: the Light-Show wraps us into an ecstatic mesmerism of its total art. The oniric phantasm ends when the gates of San Francisco’s psychedelic temples of light-shows open

Full textThis work is a study of contemporary protest song in the USA through the songs and social and political activism of Bruce Springsteen. It contends that Springsteen has been able to reexamine American protest songs and frame a new genre under the umbrella of rock music by adapting his music to the social and political context of contemporary America. The thesis that I defend shows that the reason behind the commercial success of Springsteen can be explained by the fact that he has adopted several artistic strategies which have brought him an audience composed of dedicated fans who admire him. I argue that Springsteen adopts four main strategies: firstly, singing about ordinary people and reporting their daily hardships; secondly, composing somber songs that deal with the despair of blue collars and marginalized Americans; thirdly, adopting mimesis (imitation) which has a cathartic effect on Springsteen’s audience; and finally, getting involved in social and political activism. The thesis contends that Springsteen is among the top selling rock singers in the USA and several other countries thanks to these four strategies. Springsteen has reinvented protest song as a genre and has become a reference in a world where everything is co-opted including the very act of rebellion. I, therefore, suggest a new term, reflective songs, to describe the songs of Bruce Springsteen when they reflect on the condition of the socially excluded instead of protesting pointlessly. Springsteen’s reflective song is undoubtedly the most relevant artistic medium to shed light on the most deprived people of contemporary America. Perhaps, the reflective song of Bruce Springsteen will not change the world, but at least it gives people a reason to hope for a better future

Full textIn this master’s thesis, we address the issue of creative processes and recording techniques in different DIY (Do It Yourself) settings as implemented through my experience with different rock, punk, hardcore and alternative bands in Quebec City. Musical styles greatly vary from one project to another, but all of the music groups share three common aspects : 1) They come from the underground scene around Quebec City. 2) They have a rock-type instrumentation (for us, a rock-type instrumentation is made up of minimum two of the following instruments: drums, electric guitar, electric bass and vocal.) 3) They record in a DIY setting, up to a certain point. With the rise of new technologies, DIY recording is more and more common in music bands. In our experience, artists from scenes close to the punk and underground cultures are often limited by their budget and resources or simply have a desire for creative liberty when recording their music. Seeking independence, they will often go for the DIY approach when the time has come for them to record a song or an album, which often lends a punk aesthetic to their audio tracks. This masters thesis seeks to analyse working methods that contribute to obtaining good quality results in DIY recording and to find an efficient methodology that could help the self-taught DIYer in recording music. We believe that by reading about these projects, with the analysis and feedback, an artist who wants to work in a DIY setting will be able to make better decisions in regard to their own recording project and situation. I also offer advice for the DIY recording artist to analyse his own unique recording reality and the one of his different recording projects in order for him to benefit from a faster and favorable learning curve.

Full textBorn at the same time as the “30 years of China’s Reform and Opening" political discourse, Rock music in China (Yaogun) at its outset is often understood as an ideological weapon with a somewhat “revolutionary” touch to it against the Communist orthodox principles. This is mainly due to some values known as part of the Rock Myth, such as individual freedom, social equality and democracy.However, since the 1980s, there has been a significant transformation in the People's Republic of China (PRC): the shift to a free-market economy and the opening of the country to outside influence have led to the resurgence of a relevant social and cultural diversity. In the meantime, the new ideologies, technologies and mode of economy unavoidably brought about the commodification of the so-called “Chinese Culture” as part of the modern Chinese “Nation-State” construction, both at the level of the authority’s cultural policy and of the collective social imaginary, including the commodification of the so-called “Chinese Rock” or Yaogun. After one decade of development in the 1990s, generally speaking, China’s Rock or “underground” turned out to stay away from politics. It became hip, professionally organized, commercial and partly moving “overground” (not about revolution, but about everyday life). Similarly to other forms of art and cultural production in contemporary China, Rock also engaged in a complex and creative relationship with the PRC’s revolutionary heritage. From the late 1980s onwards, Yaogun has developed from being a rebelling voice in opposition to the ideology of the Chinese authorities to representing a subject of commodification by different agencies in sharing the same signs of the PRC’s revolutionary heritage. This dissertation attempts to shed some light on the complexities and contradictions involved in the tremendous social and cultural transformations of post-socialist China through the rock music scene. It brings into play the sociology of Rock music, Cultural Studies, together with the production and spreading of the culture and ideology of contemporary Chinese society

Full textThis thesis is devoted to the narrative work of François Bon. Therefore it concerns the novels, stories, autobiographies and biographies which were published by the writer from 1982 to 2016. So, the central question of a new way of reading and writing linked to the development of digital technology will only be addressed when it will shed light on the way books by the author of Sortie d’usine work. This thesis is thus focused on three essential dimensions of the contemporary that François Bon’s work constantly and recurrently questions: the origin, the memory and the problematic of a reality that is both imposed as evidence in its most obvious manifestations and retracted as rejected when it calls into question the order and the unfolding of the world in which we find ourselves immersed. It thus addresses a certain number of themes and reflections underlying a literature in the present: the emergence of the new within an ancient world, even contradictory signs that this phenomenon induces, the fundamental importance that the era could have from the point of view of history. It also explores the link between the economic-industrial machine and a new neo-liberal world order that evacuates, escapes and recycles both past and present while at the same time writing a story that we can be sure it does not in any way correspond to the expression of a truth. In this research work, new patterns are most often explored in the very relationship that the author maintains with fields that until recently did not constitute eminently literary concerns: the pop-rock universe, a phenomenology of mechanics and the automobile, the presence of a post-industrial world in which the factories and the workers appear as so many emblems and symbols

Full textIn the 1990s, a string of successful bands such as Blur, Oasis, Pulp and Suede, inspired by glorious forefathers like the Beatles, revived the British rock genre. The press was quick to dub this new scene "Britpop", to describe the way these bands drew their inspiration from their own sense of Britishness, both in their appearance and in their lyrics, which documented several aspects of youth and working-Class cultures in Britain. Meanwhile, the Labour Party was undergoing a similar kind of rebirth under the influence of Tony Blair, who rebranded his party as New Labour. Since Britpop offered a positive, near-Patriotic vision of Britishness in line with the spirit of "Cool Britannia", Blair sought to obtain a very visible support from the Britpop scene in the run-Up to the 1997 general election. This was conceived as a way to help rejuvenate the Labour Party's image and to secure the youth vote which had eluded the left since the 1980s. However, the traditional view of rock music (as a type of protest music, prone to generating subcultures) hardly seems compatible with the idea that it could be used to support a mainstream political party. As the Britpop format went on to influence homegrown rock music into the next decade, with Gordon Brown succeeding Blair as Prime Minister in 2007, it seems several bands took British rock back to its primary, subversive function by painting a realistic picture of British society, closer to the concept of "Broken Britain" than to that of "Cool Britannia"
