This study is part of the AHRC funded project “A History of Television for Women in Britain, 1947-1989”. The research is based upon the data gathered from interviews carried out with thirty geographically and generationally dispersed women about their memories of watching television in Britain between 1947 and 1989. I have used generation and gender as analytical categories, and have paid particular attention to the role of memory work in this type of historical research. This thesis aims to build upon previous work which has investigated the connection between generation and interaction with popular culture, but which has not theorised those relationships (Press, 1991; Moseley, 2002). The shifts and, indeed, continuities in the lives of different generations of British women are considered to gain a sense of the importance of generation in the production of identity. Significant differences arose between generations in terms of reflexivity and around questions of quality, value and taste as generations intersected with feminist and neoliberal cultures at different life stages. What was particularly interesting, however, was that despite the dramatic social change wrought by this post-war period, the narratives of women of different generations were surprisingly similar in terms of their everyday lives. Their memories largely centred around domestic relationships, and the women’s role as mother was often central to these. Following my investigation of the significance of motherhood to women’s production of gendered identity I consider the moments which disrupted that pattern and where women are enabled to conceive of an identity outside their familial role. Talk around pop music programming and desire had generational significance in the production of individual identities, again pointing to the importance of generation as an analytical category.

No início do trabalho situo o objeto de estudo, bem como esclareço os conceitos sociológicos jovens e juventudes. Abordo estudos que tratam da interação de jovens e músicas e relato, na revisão bibliográfica, alguns trabalhos acerca do gosto dos jovens pela música. Seguindo, apresento a teoria do gosto de Antoine Hennion, aporte teórico desta investigação, nos seus conceitos centrais: o coletivo dos amadores, esses entendidos como “aqueles que fazem algo com a música”, profissionais ou diletantes, o conceito de mediação, a reflexividade, a performance musical e os quatro suportes para a análise do gosto. Recorri a procedimentos etnográficos como observação participante, diários de campo, conversas informais, entrevistas semiestruturadas, observações das práticas musicais desses jovens e registros audiovisuais. De outubro de 2014 a junho de 2015 interagi com dez jovens, sendo nove violinistas e um violista com idade entre 11 e 24 anos, interação ocorrida na EMESP Tom Jobim e na OJESP – Orquestra Jovem do Estado de São Paulo. No capítulo interpretativo, apresento os mediadores envolvidos, os amadores em ação e os gêneros musicais degustados. Exponho uma ilustração criada a partir das reflexões acerca da pragmática do gosto pela música, que me auxiliou a compreender como os jovens constroem o gosto pela música. Os resultados indicam mediadores que ligam os jovens à música e às ações musicais densas de expressões corporais, sensações físicas e emocionais. Constatei que os mediadores são suportes para a construção do gosto dos jovens pela música que, de modo coletivo, desenvolvem suas performances e demonstram no engajamento do corpo o gosto pela música verbalizando-o por meio da reflexividade. Finalizo, indicando implicações desta pesquisa para a educação musical. / This investigation is produced in the field of musical education with a socio-cultural approach. It is a qualitative study and aims to understand how young violinists and violist students of the School of Music of the State of São Paulo – Tom Jobim, EMESP - have built their taste in music. At the beginning of this work it is showed the object of study, as well as is clarified the sociological concepts of young people and youth. I review studies dealing with interaction between young people and music, and some works about the taste of young people by music. Following, I present the taste theory of Antoine Hennion which is the theoretical support of this research in its central concepts: the collective of the amateurs, which are understood as "people who does something with the music"; the professional or amateurish, the concept of mediation, the reflexivity, the musical performance and the four supports for the analysis of taste. It was also resorted ethnographic procedures as participant observation, fieldnotes, informal conversations, semi-structured interviews and observations of these young musical practices, and audiovisual records. From October 2014 to June 2015 I interacted with ten young students, nine violinists and a violist with age between 11 and 24 years, that interaction took place in Tom Jobim EMESP and OJESP-Youth Orchestra of the State of São Paulo in Brazil. In interpretative chapter, I present the mediators involved on the study, amateurs in action and the musical genres tasted. I exhibit an illustration created from reflections about the pragmatics of taste in music, which have helped to understand how young people build their taste for music. The results point out the mediators that linking young people to music and to music actions dense of bodily expressions, physical and emotional sensations. It was observed that the mediators are supports for the construction of taste of young people for music that collectively develops their performances and show on the engagement of the body the taste by music, verbalizing it through music reflexivity. Finally, I concluded indicating implications of this research for music education.
