Article Title：Situating the 1960s: Popular music, postmodernism, history
Abstract：
This paper revisits Fredric Jameson's writing on postmodernism and 'periodizing the 1960s' in order to begin to construct a historical framework for popular music of the 1960s, using reference to the Beatles as a case study. As part of this construction, reference is also made to Foucault and the episteme. The central claim is that popular music of the 1960s featured a shift from a common musical language to a more pluralized, differentiated stylistic identity. This shift is seen to mirror the move to a postmodern cultural and critical condition.
Keywords: postmodernism; episteme; popular music; the Beatles; Fredric Jameson; Michel Foucault
