Back to the Origins of the Sociology of Music. From Rationalization to Standardization


Variant title

Alle origini della sociologia della musica. Dal concetto di razionalizzazione a quello di standardizzazione 

Abstract

The concept of “standardization” was among the most used, in the 20th century, to describe and categorize socio-economic, as well as cultural, homologating and massifying processes. However, if the field of material consumption (technology, food, etc.) has been the one in which, more clearly, the standardization of production and consumption has given a new paradigm for interpreting current societies, even in music one, wonders, since the beginning of the last century, on the value of this homologation, identified by T.W. Adorno as, precisely, standardization.
