Abstract

MusicGenerations connects young people between 14 and 25 years, and people over 50 through music, including rap, hip hop, poetry, and spoken word. The program carefully combines talent development, reciprocity between ages and cultures, and urgent social issues. Part I illustrates how art progams, including MusicGenerations, positiviely contribute to social and political issues around age and intergenerationality, diversity, and freedom. Examine effective elements that can be widely adapted to cultural and other interventions aimed at bringing people from a wide range of backgrounds together. The power of music and art for individuals, groups, and society is assessed by borrowing from neurobiology, psychology, and sociology. Part II answers the question of how the reality, presented by MusicGenerations, functions as an example for a future, inclusive society. The progressively inclusive experice of 15 years of MusicGenerations are juxtaposed with the increasingly exclusionary discourses on "cultural diversity" in cultural and integration polices and pbulic debates.

Abstract

'Adult Reactions to Popular Music and Inter-generational Relations in Britain, 1955-1975' challenges stereotypes concerning a post-war 'generation gap', exacerbated by rebellion-inducing popular music styles, by demonstrating the considerable variety which frequently characterized adult responses to the music, whilst also highlighting that the impact of the music on inter-generational relations was more complex than is often assumed. [NP] Utilizing extensive primary evidence, from first-person accounts to newspapers, television programmes, surveys and archive collections, the book adopts a thematic approach, identifying three key arenas of British society in which adult responses to popular music, and the impact of such reactions upon relations between generations, seem particularly revealing and significant. The book examines in detail the place of popular music within family life and Christian churches and their engagement with popular music, particularly within youth clubs. It also explores 'encounters' between the worlds of traditional Variety entertainment and popular music while providing broader perspectives on this most dynamic and turbulent of periods.
