BIDON-CHANAL, Sol. Philosophical Perspectives on Pop-Rock. Bol. estét. [online]. 2019, n.47, pp.12-31. ISSN 2408-4417.  http://dx.doi.org/10.36446/be.2019.47.91.

The approach to mass music is particularly peripheral in the field of Aesthetics. However, the omnipresence of this music in everyday experience makes its study increasingly necessary. On that basis, this paper will focus on one of its most relevant expressions: pop-rock music. To that end, it starts by analysing Theodor W. Adorno’s thoughts on “culture industry” music and continues by reviewing the main contributions of the Anglo-Saxon tradition, giving special attention to the “ontologies of rock”. After adding some relevant musicological analysis, it develops a line of thought concerning the aesthetic-stylistic specificity of this genre, which finds its basis on the creative role of technology.
