描述: In a 1969 interview with Don Finegan and others, composer John Cage voiced his disdain for electronic broadcast forms, declaring, "I don't keep any records" and "I don't even bother looking at the television anymore. I don't ever listen to the radio. You could say, perhaps, that I'm not a proper member of the twentieth-century society." Despite this attitude, Cage composed for and appeared on various forms of broadcast media throughout his career. In this dissertation, I argue that for Cage, broadcast media were another way for him to engage with and create experiences of indeterminacy. Radio and television presented situations beyond composerly control and their necessarily technology-dependent nature meant embracing mistakes as a kind of unpredictability. Broadcast also satisfied the kind of human coming together that Cage associated with music while media, namely radio and television, provided a kind of abstract space on the airwaves for his musical Happenings.I have structured the dissertation as a series of four case studies, presented in chronological order, which examine performances that included Cage himself. These case studies demonstrate that Cage's broadcast works are as significant as other more well-known or discussed pieces in tracing shifts in his output. I analyze these performances as documented through audio or video recording. In addition, I contextualize these productions with unpublished archival correspondence and other archival material such as press clippings. I also refer to Cage's scores, in both published and manuscript form, to fully appreciate the insights of Cage's work on broadcast media. Chapter 1 considers one of Cage's earliest compositions intended for broadcast media: The City Wears a Slouch Hat and argues that Cage's foregrounding of sound effect and noise upset listeners' expectations of how sound should be used in a radio drama and that Cage's narrative of the work's reception simplified aesthetic and geographic differ
