Abstract

ABSTRACT This article examines the creation and diffusion of skiffle, and analyses how it emerged from the transatlantic flow of popular music from the United States to the United Kingdom, and the process by which it became “indigenized” in the U.K. I have also looked at the salience of race, the legacy of English music hall song traditions, and the idea of indigenization of music in post-WWII Britain. I have highlighted how skiffle eventually became “English,” its later impact on popular music in the U.K. in the 1960s and thereafter, and the complexities inherent in the idea of musical genre.

英国的Skiffle:一种音乐类型的本土化

本文考察了斯基弗莱的创作和传播，并分析了它是如何从美国流行音乐的跨大西洋流动中出现的，以及它在英国“本土化”的过程。我还研究了种族的突出性、英国音乐厅歌曲传统的遗产，以及二战后英国音乐本土化的想法。我强调了skiffle最终如何成为“英语”，它后来对20世纪60年代及以后英国流行音乐的影响，以及音乐类型概念固有的复杂性。
