16.7 2nd and 3rd year Marcus Breen. First semester One 1-hour lecture and one 2-hour tutorial per week. Students who complete this subject successfully will:

• understand and make use of the major methods for analysing contemporary music cultures;
• understand the broad relation between governments and rock music culture, as it has developed lately, particularly in Australia;
• appreciate how different cultural practices have coalesced around popular music in the post-war period;
• have an in-depth knowledge of a specific contemporary music culture or policy debate.

This subject explores the creation and development of music cultures from the birth of Rock and Roll to Rap. It will enable students to grasp the ways in which a wide range of specific rock genres (such as punk, heavy metal and disco) have helped mould cultural practices and generational self-representations and conflicts. In particular, youth cultures, centred on popular music, will be examined as an agent of cultural change in contemporary society: they are cultural formations which prefigure other transformations of everyday life. The subject will also briefly examine the unique characteristics of Aboriginal musical production because it offers a specific model of musical culture and political economy in Australia. Written work of not more than 5,000 words. Course reader available from the department. Grossberg L We Gotta Get Out of this Place: Popular Conservatism and Postmodern Culture Routledge.
