Popular music, at once individual and communal, fixed and plastic, offers an illuminating window into such transformations in social structures through the ways in which musicians, musical consumers, and critical intermediaries re-imagined themselves as part of novel cultural communities, whether local, national, or supranational in nature. Briggs argues that national identity was but one of a panoply of identities in flux during the postwar period in France, demonstrating that the development of hybridized forms of popular music provided the French with a method for expressing and understanding that flux. Drawing upon an array of printed and aural sources, including music publications, sound recordings, record sleeves, biographies, and cultural criticism, Sounds French is an essential new look at popular music in postwar France.
Jonathyne Briggs is an associate professor of history at Indiana University Northwest, where he teaches on European youth culture and the history of pop music. He has published extensively on French popular music in the 1960s and '70s in journals and collections. He lives in Chicago, still toys with his favorite guitar, and hopes that someday Daft Punk will play at his house.
