Professor Peter Wicke, Humboldt Universität, Berlin, Tyskland: "Confessions on a Dance Floor. The Song as an Industrial Product"

Som det framgår av vår egen professor Michael Rauhuts presentasjon av Peter Wicke, er han en tungvekter innen forskning på rytmisk musikk.

Peter Wicke, born in 1951, has been one of the most influential scholars in the field of popular music studies since the early 1980s. He studied musicology at Humboldt University (HU), took the PhD on the aesthetics of popular music in 1980 and habilitated with "Rock Music: Culture, Aesthetic, Sociology" in 1986. In 1988 he became an Adjunct Research Professor at the Department of Music of the Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada. Since 1993 he has been a professor for the theory and history of popular music at HU. In 1983 Wicke founded the Centre for Popular Music Research (Forschungszentrum Populäre Musik) at HU whose director he is until today. Beside many academic functions and activities Peter Wicke was the General Secretary of the International Association for the Study of Popular Music between 1987 and 1991.
