- 요약This dissertation examines musical form in post-millennial Tamil film songs, placing these works within broader discourses of cosmopolitanism, interculturality, and third space theory. It investigates how Kollywood songs mediate between local, regional, and global influences, producing complex, hybrid, musical structures that challenge traditional categorizations. By combining music theory, ethnomusicology, and cultural studies, this study explores how formal structure functions as a site of negotiation between distinct musical and cultural traditions. An intercultural approach to musical form allows for a broader understanding of Tamil film songs. This study specifically incorporates Carnatic music theory, which offers one foundation for formal organization, and Western popular music theory, particularly verse-chorus form, which informs how Kollywood songs engage with global musical conventions. By synthesizing these theoretical perspectives, the dissertation shows how Kollywood songs blend contrasting formal strategies, facilitating the coexistence of local and global traditions within a dynamic third space. While this intercultural approach provides essential insights into the structure of these songs, it does not fully account for the complexities of their formal organization. The theoretical frameworks from both traditions offer foundational understanding, but there are gaps that need to be addressed. To address these gaps, a narrative approach to musical form considers the significant role storytelling and multimedia play in shaping the form of Kollywood songs. Rather than isolating musical sections, the narrative approach explores how lyrical content, music videos, and the film as a whole interact to guide deviations in formal structure. By integrating both approaches, this dissertation offers a full picture of how form operates in Tamil film songs, revealing how the fusion of intercultural musical traditions and multimedia creates highly complex and dynamic musical structures. By framing Kollywood songs as a cosmopolitan genre studied through intercultural and narrative methodologies, I place them in a new, third space. This study contributes to broader discussions on music theory and musical form beyond the West, and the role of multimedia in musical analysis. Ultimately, I argue that Tamil film songs function as sites for formal and cultural negotiation, offering new insights in to how we can intentionally and appropriately study global popular music.
