This dissertation explores the cultural conditions for the popular appreciation of "high" art, experimental, modernist and avant-garde elements, and the resulting incongruous melange of genres, through a study of the history of such transgressions of aesthetic boundaries in the San Francisco Bay Area from 1965 to 1975. Based on archival research, interviews with participants, as well as the analysis of key musical works and practices that influenced and realized such boundary crossings, it offers new insights into the role of this particular time and place in creating the more inclusive musical world of today. Particularly underexplored in earlier scholarship on popular music from the Bay Area at this time is the way in which this type of performance practice has functioned to challenge distinctions between large categories of music, specifically those broadly categorized as popular that are defined, at least partly, in opposition to those considered "high art." Though undoubtedly popular in terms of performance environs, audience, and many qualities of the music performed, the use of musical elements normally understood as outside the usual purview of popular music were quite common during this period in the Bay Area. Yet, in spite of the exceptional nature of this stylistic hybridity, there has been comparatively little prior scholarship about the specific ways in which those involved negotiated between musical traditions previously understood by many people as irreconcilable, as well as detailed analyses of the techniques and practices used to realize such connections. Because the rock band the Grateful Dead is the most significant example of these various issues from the time and place that form the focus of this study, as well as the most influential, they are the primary concern of this dissertation, though the work of some other related musicians and ensembles is also discussed.

520 $a Cette these explore les conditions culturelles de l'appreciation populaire des elements experimentaux et avant-gardistes, et le melange incongru des genres qui resulte, a travers l'etude de l'histoire de telles transgressions des frontieres esthetiques dans la « San Francisco Bay Area » 1965 a 1975. Fonde sur des recherches archivistiques, des entrevues, ainsi que sur l'analyse d'oeuvres et de pratiques musicales qui ont influence et franchi ces frontieres, il offre de nouvelles perspectives sur l'influence de cette epoque dans le monde musical plus inclusif d'aujourd'hui. Ce type de pratique de la performance a fonctionne pour remettre en question les distinctions entre des categories de musique. En particulier, celles qui sont generalement categorisees comme populaires qui sont definies, du moins en partie, est particulierement sous-exploree dans les etudes anterieures sur la musique populaire de la Bay Area, en opposition a ceux consideres comme «art haut». Bien que sans doute populaire en termes de performance, d'audience, et de nombreuses qualites de la musique, l'utilisation d'elements musicaux normalement compris hors de la portee habituelle de la musique populaire etait assez courante pendant cette periode. Malgre le caractere exceptionnel de cette hybridite stylistique, il y a eu relativement peu de recherches sur les manieres specifiques dont les personnes ont negocie entre des traditions musicales auparavant considerees comme inconciliables, ainsi que des analyses des techniques et pratiques utilise pour realiser de telles connexions. Parce que le groupe de rock Grateful Dead est l'exemple le plus significatif de ces differentes questions de l'epoque et le lieu qui forment l'objet de cette etude, ainsi que les plus influents, ils sont la principale preoccupation de cette these, bien que le travail de certains d'autres musiciens et ensembles connexes sont egalement discutes.
