Ph.D. Dissertation.
: Ohio University, 1998
The transformation of the Beatles from teen idols to leaders of the youth movement. «This dissertation used as a theoretical base the work of Richard Dyer in star theory and Antonio Gramsci's notions of hegemony and the intellectual... could the Beatles be viewed as Gramscian intellectuals or agents? If so, in what sense?... In a hegemonic sense, the Beatles' acceptance by traditional intellectuals demnonstrates the operation of hegemony. Public culture had been altered: Concessions had been wrested by a subordinate group from the hegemonic class, thus establishing a new hegemony».
