  • High and Low, Cool and Uncool, Music and Knowledge
    1 High and Low, Cool and Uncool, Music and Knowledge Conceptual falsifications and the study of popular music Keynote speech, IASPM UK conference, Guildford, July 2000 (v.2). Philip Tagg (Liverpool). Introduction It is really an honour to be asked to deliver a keynote speech at this IASPM (UK) meeting. At the same time it feels a bit strange to be some kind of ‘top‐of‐the‐bill’ senior citizen in this context because the origins of IASPM are humble and because my experiences with popular music studies have, to mix metaphors, had much more the character of piss‐ ing into the wind from the bottom of the heap than riding high as top of the bill. But it is important to take stock of this change at a every level, including the personal, because the changing way in which each of us, as popular music scholars, is viewed, and the way in which our field of studies is valued, both constitute part of our meta‐identities (what we perceive that others think about us) and because meta‐identi‐ ties so strongly inform notions of subjectivity. For some of us, popular music studies also provide an income, help us pay off mortgages, go on holiday, shop at Tesco rather than Kwik‐Save, even have a family. I never expected to get a steady and well‐paid job out of popular music studies, but I do have one now and I am even invited as keynote speaker. So, I had better get my head around this situation. As far as popular music studies is concerned I need to know how the subject has changed since the seventies and how both it and we as subjects in‐ volved in it interact with the socio‐political configuration out of which it grew and in which it exists.
