“…Researchers who have examined the formation of cultural fields have also pointed to the importance of intellectual discourse in the form of texts (Baumann 2001;Ferguson 1998;Santoro 2002). As Ferguson (1998:635) puts it, "in cultural fields, there is no getting around words."…”

“…Cultural entrepreneurs, one type of intermediary, seek to shift the popular opinion, mobilizing their resources to convince others to adopt their worldview (Fine 2012), such as the core features of a genre. While the definition of a genre is often articulated well after it came into existence (Roy 2002; Santoro 2002; Dowd et al 2019), genre can be differentiated in the moment, coming into existence “when there is some consensus that a distinctive style of music is being performed” (Lena 2012:16; see also Schilt 2004 regarding Riot Grrrl). Meanings are negotiated as genres form, resulting in a broadly shared understanding that may change over time.…”

Who gets to define what counts as art when a genre is in flux? In the present analysis, I find that legitimated artists may also be able to act as intermediaries, such as critics and gatekeepers. In doing so, these artists-as-intermediaries, under certain conditions, can shift the meaning of the genre as it transitions. Using the current transition of drag performance from scene-based to industry-based genre as a case, I present a multistage qualitative analysis of televised and digital drag performance. I report three key findings from this analysis: (1) some legitimated artists can become intermediaries when their genre is in transition, (2) these legitimated artists-as-intermediaries can influence genre expectations, and (3) legitimated artists-as-intermediaries’ influence on genre expectations can, in turn, influence the creative expression of other artists. Each of the three findings, however, has the effect of limiting creativity of the artist-as-intermediary and future artists within the industry-based genre.

In this essay I propose an analysis of the Sanremo Italian Song Festival from 1964 to 1967, to which is added an introduction about its history and musical, social and cultural features. The aim of the essay is not only to propose a different perspective on the songs presented at the Festival in the 1960s, but also to re-configure our understanding of the popular music mainstream and the mechanisms of musical change in our mass-mediated and industrialised societies, as well as the question of identifying the peculiarities of the Italian canzone.
