Televising Taste: Negotiations of European Classical Music and American Culture in the TV Performances of Leonard Bernstein, Victor Borge, and Nam June Paik

Description:: This dissertation explores how American television portrayed canonical European classical music in the Cold War era. I analyze televisual negotiations of music-cultural hierarchies to complicate common narratives about the postwar decades as a peak moment of polarity between “high” and “low” culture, and between ideologies of consensus and rebellion. Drawing...

Displaying culture: the politics of art, liberalism and the state in the UAE
