Josef Kotek and Popular Music Research in the Czech Lands

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Josef Kotek (1928–2009) was one of the founders of Czech musicological researchinto popular music. His professional career is mainly connected withthe musicological workplace of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences andlater the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, where he worked from1962 to 1998. Kotek’s career, as well as the thematic focus of his research, wassignificantly determined by the cultural and political situation in the Czechlands at the turn of the 1950s and 1960s, when the appeal of Marxist musicologyto research so-called mass/applied genres combined with the emergenceof modern popular music and its wide social appeal. Kotek’s research was fundamentallyinfluenced by the central project of the Institute for Musicology ofthe Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences, which was assigned to the Institute bythe Central Committee of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia in the early1960s and which sought to provide comprehensive treatment of 20th centuryCzech musical culture, including so-called mass/applied genres. In this sense,from the beginning of his career, Kotek developed research activities in threemain areas: (a) the historiography of Czech popular music, anchored in rigoroussource research; (b) the sociology of popular music, focusing on questionsof the development of popular music reception and taste, with an overlapwith practical issues of musical life and music education; and (c) the generaltheory of popular music, including definitional, terminological, classificationand other issues. Kotek’s lifelong work concentrating exclusively on issues ofpopular music in the 1990s resulted in the remarkable book synthesis Dějinyčeské populární hudby a zpěvu [The History of Czech Popular Music and Singing](1994, 1998). The present study examines the above on the basis of an extensiveanalysis of available sources and takes into account the internationalsituation, in which the institutionalization of popular music research occurredunder different circumstances and with some delay.
