Thesis (M.A.)--The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, 2010.

This thesis explores how the under-studied practice of Christmas caroling in the United States might be considered oppositional to mainstream understandings of music consumption and social relations. Drawing on interviews with thirty carolers and personal observation, I find that carolers share the motivation of experiencing and engendering an ideal version of community that they see as lacking in their everyday lives. This sense of community is created by a spatial practice that brings a public performance into private spaces; by a kind of singing whose unpolished sound invites participation and makes "hearable" its non-commercial intent; and by the fact that the majority of people in the U.S., of any age, are likely to know and have emotional connections with both the traditional body of carols and the idea of caroling itself. I also discuss the benefits and limitations of drawing upon a residual tradition as a resource for oppositional practice.
