This is not a concert
This paper argues that The Beatles’ 1965 concert at Shea Stadium constituted a media event, in contrast to their subsequent appearance at Shea Stadium a year later. To substantiate this claim, the “Fab Four” method is employed, encompassing four qualifying characteristics: autopoiesis (John), observation (Paul), coupling (George), and paradigm (Ringo). While existing theories highlight spontaneity or ritualization, this paper adopts a constructiv…

Untangling pop
The current scholarly analysis of pop continues to operate within the framework of a power theory that ascribes the subject of investigation a political function. This text seeks an alternative explanation of the phenomenon by assigning pop its own (exclusive) social function. Pop is understood as a self‐substitutive unit, which qualifies it for the status of a function system. The basic structures typical for systems can be demonstrated: functio…

Corona
Ein Virus dominiert weltweit die Kommunikationsströme. »Corona« ist von gesamtgesellschaftlicher Relevanz, das Kennzeichen jeder Krise. Nicht nur die Körper sind infiziert, auch die Gesellschaft ist es. Ein Zwang zum Urteilen und Handeln unter Zeitnot, eine unbestimmte Verpflichtung zur Aktion setzt Politik, Wirtschaft, Massenmedien und nicht zuletzt die Wissenschaft unter Druck. Man könnte von einer sozialen Immunantwort der Gesellschaft spreche…

She talks about the advantages of network theory, the challenges of Twitter research and the reasons for the success of the English East India Company, which—according to Erikson—cannot be successfully explained by using a European cultures versus South Asian cultures …
Retrology
The present investigation examines the hypothesis that contemporary pop music has caught ‘retromania’: infected by its own past, it will bring about its own downfall. It identifies this observation as retrology: a specific school of thought within pop history. The article first looks at the major premises on which retrology is founded. It then asks why these assumptions have been so widely accepted. Next, it offers a sociological approach to look…
Music No Music Music
Die heuristische Idee, die in diesem Aufsatz verfolgt wird, ist es, das Unschärfe-Phänomen ›Pop‹ als eigentümliches, weltgesellschaftlich operierendes Funktionssystem aufzufassen. Als Sozialsystem reproduziert es eine spezifische (kommunikative) Differenz, die sich dem Medium des ›Songs‹ einschreibt, das Wahrnehmungen auf raffinierte Weise in den Kommunikationszusammenhang des Systems einbettet. Angenommen wird, daß nach preadaptive advances, die…
