ADHERENCE TO RESISTANCE IN THE MUSIC OF POPULAR CULTURE

Text topic: Studies

Key words:

Text author: Лука Марковић и Ненад Перић

A division of cultural events to high and low, as well as differences

between the established and popular culture, are subject to a number

of interpretations of cultural theories. The right-wing critical thought

defended the “real” culture from the crude culture of the lower

social classes, while the leftists found mass culture positive for its

democratization. Thanks to the impact of the global media, position

of music occupies a high place in the hierarchy of industry and market

culture. The opposed relationship of art and popular music is being

relativized in terms of class identification. The ideology of taste, which

is also related to the possession of a larger or smaller cultural capital,

has adapted to the requirements of populism and market. Agreeing to

concessions is a kind of democratization of elite musical forms (for

example opera), and movement of various musical forms in the system

of two-way (higher / lower) and circular (from one form to another)

forms representing both resistance and compliance in mutual encounter

and permeation of classical and popular music, both in practice and

in theory. With the exception of the avant-garde “outages” in classical

music or lowest genres of folk, all other types of music (classical, jazz,

rock, pop, folk) have found some sort of balance in their relationship.

Along with the general crisis of the spirit of criticism, this certainly

contributed to value relativism, as one of the essential features of

popular culture.
