Book Chapter
Reach Out I ’ll Be There
2014
Overview
This introductory chapter briefly examines the nature of popular music in contemporary society and music's link to workplace cultures and workplace resistance. It uses Christopher Small's “musicking” to denote social practices that involve music. Understanding the meaning of popular music in the factory can help develop knowledge about the nature of the use and role of popular music in contemporary advanced capitalism. In studying social practices of hearing and using contemporary popular music in monotonous social structures, the chapter also uses concept of multitonous musicking, which involves a way of using music to be both with and against a monotonous social structure. It is a dialectical form of musical practice that is rooted in the context of the monotonous social structure. It is also a form of musicking that allows the enactment of the social order within the monotonous while also allowing the expression of a spirit of resistance to that social order.
