Philosophizing Rock Performance
Philosophizing Rock Performance by Wade Hollingshaus, published by Bloomsbury USA on September 12, 2013, is a thought-provoking exploration of the intersection between rock music and philosophy. This edition spans 185 pages and is presented in English. The book examines the careers of iconic artists Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, and David Bowie, situating their influence within the anti-establishment sentiments of the 1960s and early 1970s, while also connecting their work to key figures in Continental philosophy.
Readers will find that Hollingshaus employs historiographical logics to re-imagine these musicians, drawing parallels between their artistic expressions and the philosophical ideas of thinkers such as Giorgio Agamben and Michel Foucault. The text delves into how these artists not only shaped the music landscape but also engaged with broader cultural and philosophical movements. By integrating concepts from biography, music history, and criticism, this book offers a unique perspective on the significance of rock performance in relation to contemporary thought.
Official synopsis Publisher
In Philosophizing Rock Performance: Dylan, Hendrix, Bowie, Wade Hollingshaus capitalizes on this notion by embracing a set of historiographical logics that re-imagine these three artists. Noting how Dylan, Hendrix, and Bowie first established their reputations amid the anti-establishment sentiments that emerged in Western counties during the 1960s and early 1970s, he connects them with the concurrent formative phase of Continental philosophy in the work of Giorgio Agamben, Jean-François Lyotard, Michel de Certeau, Jacques Rancière, Guy Debord, and Michel Foucault. In Philosophizing Rock Performance, Hollingshaus draws on the work of these latter Continental thinkers to explore how we might otherwise think about Dylan, Hendrix, and Bowie.
