  • Tangibility, Performance, and Technology in Archival Popular Music Research
    PRESSED BETWEEN THE PAGES OF MY MIND: TANGIBILITY, PERFORMANCE, AND TECHNOLOGY IN ARCHIVAL POPULAR MUSIC RESEARCH Rebekah Burchfield A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2010 Committee: William Schurk, Advisor Scott Magelssen Graduate Faculty Representative Vivian Patraka Donald McQuarie © 2010 Rebekah Burchfield All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT William Schurk, Advisor Acknowledging the unique ontological nature of sound recording, this project seeks to outline a framework for working with archival sources in popular music scholarship. The proposed theoretical lens combines influences from cultural studies, historical audience studies, and performance studies in order to encourage a broader appreciation of the popular music archive and the identity-making cultural practices surrounding the popular music archive. Such an endeavor requires the acknowledgement of three theoretical considerations: technology, performance, and tangibility. To illustrate the breadth of readings that this approach to the popular music archive can yield, each chapter uses source material from the Music Library and Sound Recordings Archives at Bowling Green State University. Chapter Two analyzes the contents of rock promotional materials and argues that these technologies of representation code rock music according to semiotic markers of masc ulinity, whiteness, and mythic America. Chapter Three argues that themes of inclusion and exclusion in punk fanzines work to unite individual, localized scenes into a translocal scene that transcends time and geographical boundaries through shared narratives and common values. Chapter Four examines the construction of audience identity through teen-oriented artist biographies and argues that such technologies of representation police (female) fan behavior through narratives of “proper” fandom.
