(Re)Writing Music History: Television, Memory, and Nostalgia in The People's History of Pop
ABSTRACT:This article explores how the BBC series The People's History of Pop (2016–2017) challenges the production of televised music history. Its delivery is characterized by a move away from Aristotelian "Great Man" narratives and toward an exploration of "history from below," which narrativizes popular music history from a fan perspective. Through its aesthetic and representational strategies, the series foregrounds the material cultures surrounding popular music, emphasizing their value as a site of nostalgic and affective engagement.
