  • ""Voicing the Popular" brings together aspects of political economy, cultural history, and musical interpretation to examine the rise of popular music over the past fifty years. A unifying theme is that of 'voice,' by which Middleton means the sphere of vocality through which popular songs are delivered, as well as a broader, metaphorical sense of 'voice' as a vehicle through which subjects articulate, understand, and represent identities and personae. Tackling large themes in the field - including gender, race authenticity, and repetition as a means of structuring popular song - Middleton hopes to bring new clarity to the study of popular music, while also questioning basic assumptions. "Voicing the Popular" brings a fresh, new perspective to the field of popular music studies. Written by a world-renowned authority, it will stand as both a summation and a challenge to all interested in pursuing this growing discipline. Also includes twenty-five musical examples."
