<p>Tema ovog rada jeste poezija britanske popularne kulture dvadesetog veka, odnosno, stihovi pop i rok pesama britanskih muzičkih autora. Polazna teza disertacije jeste to da se tekstovi popularnih pesama mogu smatrati poezijom, te da se uobičajene metode koje se koriste pri analizi tradicionalnog pesničkog stvarala&scaron;tva mogu upotrebiti i kada je reč o pop i rok tekstu.<br />Iako se popularna muzika odavno posmatra kao bitan činilac u kulturi dvadesetog i dvadeset prvog veka, i kao takva jeste predmet brojnih kritičkih studija, primećuje se iznenađujuća činjenica da se te studije uglavnom bave njenom kulturolo&scaron;ko-sociolo&scaron;kom ulogom, zbog čega je i istražuju upravo iz tog ugla. Za razliku od njih, ovaj rad se usredsređuje na pesničke elemente popularne muzike (poetika), i to tako &scaron;to ih tumači kao i svaki drugi književni tekst (hermeneutika). Ponekad se ovoj analizi dodaje i muzikolo&scaron;ka, jer se značenje popularnih pesama stvara kombinacijom tekstualnog i muzičkog aspekta.<br />U odabiru bendova koji su postavljeni u sredi&scaron;te analize od velike koristi bila je teorija Kira Kitlija (Keir Keightley) o romantičarkoj i modernističkoj autentičnosti popularne muzike. S obzirom na to da su studije popularne muzike uglavnom posvećene romantičarsko autentičnim stvaraocima, predmet istraživanja ove disertacije jesu tri modernističko autentične grupe, a to su Bitlsi (The Beatles), Kvin (Queen) i Mjuz (Muse). Njihovi tekstovi su tematski podeljeni u četiri grupe: pesme o ljubavi, narativne pesme, pesme o unutra&scaron;njem svetu i pesme o spolja&scaron;njem svetu; i analizirani su u skladu sa takvom podelom.<br />Nakon izvr&scaron;ene analize, izveden je zaključak da se tekstovi rok i pop pesama uistinu mogu smatrati poezijom, čak i kada stihovni element neke pesme služi pre svega kao pratnja muzičkom. Na ovaj način, utvrđeno je da pop i rok poeziji i te kako pripada mesto u &scaron;irokoj i raznorodnoj oblasti pesničkog stvarala&scaron;tva.</p> / <p>The topic of this research was the poetry of 20th century British popular culture, i.e., the lyrics of pop and rock songs written by British authors. The basic thesis of the dissertation was the idea that popular music lyrics can be considered to be poetry, and that the usual methods used to analyse traditional poetry can thus also be used in the analysis of pop and rock lyrics.<br />Even though popular music has long been considered a valuable factor in the 20th and 21st century culture, therefore being the topic of numerous critical studies, most of these studies have, surprisingly, been focused almost exclusively on the culturological and sociological importance of popular music and have thus approached it accordingly. This research is instead focused on its poetical elements (poetics), interpreting them as it would any other kind of literary text (hermeneutics). Sometimes, musicological element is also added to the analysis, given that the meaning of popular songs is created by the combination of both text and music.<br />Keir Keightley&rsquo;s theory of Romantic and Modernist authenticity in music has been greatly helpful in choosing the bands on which the research was to focus. Since popular music studies mostly deal with Romantic authenticity, three bands which display Modernist<br />vii<br />authenticity &ndash; The Beatles, Queen, and Muse &ndash; were here chosen as subjects instead. Their lyrics were divided into four thematic groups: songs about love, narrative songs, songs about the inner world, and songs about the outer world; they were analysed according to these thematic focuses.<br />After the analysis was done, the following conclusion was drawn: pop and rock lyrics can indeed be considered poetry, even when the textual element is only secondary to the musical one. It has thus been proved that pop and rock texts should be regarded as part of the vast and varied area of poetry in general</p>

Dans les années 1990, le rock britannique revient sur le devant de la scène, porté par des groupes tels Blur, Oasis, Pulp et Suede, que la presse rassemble sous l'étiquette Britpop. Non contents de s'inspirer des grands groupes locaux des années 1960, comme les Beatles, ces musiciens se distinguent par une écriture et une image profondément ancrées dans leur propre identité britannique, et évoquent volontiers dans leurs chansons le mode de vie de la jeunesse comme la culture de la classe ouvrière. Cette renaissance sur les plans musical et culturel (participant au phénomène Cool Britannia) est contemporaine de la rénovation de l'idéologie et de l'image du Parti travailliste, qui devient New Labour sous la férule de Tony Blair, intéressé par la vision positive de la britannicité dépeinte par la Britpop. Dans la course aux élections législatives de 1997, le chef de l'opposition cherche à présenter son parti comme jeune et moderne, et se rapproche des acteurs de la scène rock de l'époque dans le but de courtiser l'électorat jeune qui fait défaut à la gauche depuis les années 1980. L'utilisation du rock en tant qu'outil de soutien politique pourrait néanmoins paraître contre-Nature à cause du rôle traditionnel de ce genre musical, lié aux sous-Cultures et mouvements contestataires. L'étude des excroissances du mouvement Britpop, visibles jusqu'à l'accession de Gordon Brown au poste de Premier ministre en 2007, permettra de dégager l'existence d'une veine critique et contestataire au sein de cette même scène rock, proposant une vision plus réaliste de la société, rappelant l'idée de Broken Britain mise en avant par les Conservateurs à cette époque. / In the 1990s, a string of successful bands such as Blur, Oasis, Pulp and Suede, inspired by glorious forefathers like the Beatles, revived the British rock genre. The press was quick to dub this new scene "Britpop", to describe the way these bands drew their inspiration from their own sense of Britishness, both in their appearance and in their lyrics, which documented several aspects of youth and working-Class cultures in Britain. Meanwhile, the Labour Party was undergoing a similar kind of rebirth under the influence of Tony Blair, who rebranded his party as New Labour. Since Britpop offered a positive, near-Patriotic vision of Britishness in line with the spirit of "Cool Britannia", Blair sought to obtain a very visible support from the Britpop scene in the run-Up to the 1997 general election. This was conceived as a way to help rejuvenate the Labour Party's image and to secure the youth vote which had eluded the left since the 1980s. However, the traditional view of rock music (as a type of protest music, prone to generating subcultures) hardly seems compatible with the idea that it could be used to support a mainstream political party. As the Britpop format went on to influence homegrown rock music into the next decade, with Gordon Brown succeeding Blair as Prime Minister in 2007, it seems several bands took British rock back to its primary, subversive function by painting a realistic picture of British society, closer to the concept of "Broken Britain" than to that of "Cool Britannia".

No. of bitstreams: 1 Therence Santiago Alves Feitosa.pdf: 1035575 bytes, checksum: ba349bb5cad3001f254414b7f8047d8c (MD5) Previous issue date: 2018-06-12 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / The present investigation focuses on analyzing some songs produced in the 1980s by the bands Legião Urbana, Titãs, Barão Vermelho and Engineers of Hawaii. The research, through the lenses of pop rock, presents discussions about some cultural, social and political scenarios that were part of Brazil at that time. The idea is to develop "certain cartographies" of the period, from analyzes of the internal structures and contents of the lyrics of these songs. The thesis intends to show the pop rock of the 1980s, as a translating instrument in relation to what some young people (rockers) lived at the time. A part of the Brazilian media of that moment "discovered" this "new" phenomenon and dedicated itself to divulge this musical genre (BASTOS, 2005). The 1980s in Brazil were presented as a period of clear transition, since in that decade a military dictatorship that lasted approximately 20 years ended (RAMOS, 2010). In the music scene a genre gained strength, voice and form: pop rock. As a hypothesis it is possible to argue that it is precisely in the cultural spheres that symbolically the daily relations are configured (LÓTMAN, 1981), that is, in day-to-day practices, space is opened for representations, as well as for the construction of series of languages. According to Lótman (1978), every artistic work is within its own context of producing subjectivity. Barbero (2013) advocates communication as a process, therefore, it is understood that the communicative nature happens in a fluid way, in constant and intertwined movements that transpose in the scope of culture. At that moment there were several dialogues between media, artists and the public, this took place in miniature movements that approached subjects of culture, objects of culture and nature / environment. In this thesis, it is intended to propose how the context of the songs were related to certain processes of exploitation of the different materials of the culture available in Brazil. As theoretical foundation, research of a qualitative nature is mainly used as references of the semiotics of culture, communication and anthropology / A presente investigação se concentra em analisar algumas canções produzidas nos anos de 1980 pelas bandas Legião Urbana, Titãs, Barão Vermelho e Engenheiros do Havaí. A pesquisa, através das lentes do pop rock, apresenta discussões sobre alguns cenários culturais, sociais e políticos que faziam parte do Brasil naquela época. A ideia é desenvolver “certas cartografias” do período, a partir de análises das estruturas internas e dos conteúdos das letras dessas canções. A tese possui a intenção de mostrar o pop rock da década de 1980, como um instrumento tradutório em relação ao que viviam alguns jovens (roqueiros) na ocasião. Uma parte da mídia brasileira daquele momento “descobriu” esse “novo” fenômeno e dedicou-se a divulgar esse gênero musical (BASTOS, 2005). Os anos de 1980 no Brasil se apresentaram como um período de clara transição, pois nessa década acabava uma ditadura militar que havia durado aproximadamente 20 anos (RAMOS, 2010). No cenário musical um gênero ganhava força, voz e forma: o pop rock. Enquanto hipóteses é possível defender que é justamente nas esferas culturais que simbolicamente as relações cotidianas são configuradas (LÓTMAN, 1981), ou seja, nas práticas do dia a dia é que se abre espaço para as representações, bem como para a construção de séries de linguagens. Segundo Lótman (1978), toda obra artística está dentro do seu próprio contexto de produção de subjetividade. Barbero (2013) defende a comunicação como processo, portanto, entende-se que a natureza comunicativa acontece de maneira fluída, em constantes e entrelaçados movimentos que transitam no âmbito da cultura. Naquele momento ocorreram diversos diálogos entre mídias, artistas e público, isso se deu em movimentos miniaturais que aproximaram sujeitos da cultura, objetos da cultura e natureza/ambiente. Na referente tese é pretendido propor como as contexturas das canções estavam relacionadas a certos processos de aproveitamento dos diversos materiais da cultura disponíveis no Brasil. Enquanto fundamentação teórica, a pesquisa de natureza qualitativa serve-se principalmente de referências da semiótica da cultura, comunicação e da antropologia

Rock music has during all of its almost 50 years of existence been the subject of criticism and debate. Much of this criticism has risen from religious circles. But also in these circles, rock music has its advocates. This thesis studies the reactions to rock music by spokespersons for institutional Christianity. Most of the material studied is written and published material. The material dates from 1983-1998 and originates from Sweden, Finland and the United States. The material is studied qualitatively. The purpose is to study the Christian discourse on rock music as an example of how institutional religion defends itself against competition. A theoretical perspective and conceptual apparatus is developed. The Christian discourse on rock is viewed as the defence of a monopolistic symbolic universe - institutional Christianity - against an outside threat - rock. This defence is described by two concepts, devaluation and incorporation. Devaluation involves giving rock an inferior status, for example defining it as demonic. Incorporation is an attempt to make rock part of the Christian symbolic universe. The result of devaluation and incorporation is the same: the denial of any reality outside the Christian symbolic universe. Several different techniques for devaluating and incorporating for example rock music can be used. Two such techniques are studied in the thesis: symbol interpretation, and the defence of boundaries. The main contribution of the thesis is the development and application of a theoretical perspective on how institutional religion defends itself against competition. The discussion on how established religion reacts to "secular" media adds an important dimension to the academic discussion on media, religion and culture.

Students with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are usually inattentive and disruptive in class, are at high risk for chronic academic achievement difficulties, and may develop problems in relationships with peers, parents, and teachers (DuPaul, Stoner, 2003). One of the primary goals of behavioural treatment for ADHD is to enable a student to develop adequate levels of self-control (Barkley, 1990; DuPaul & Stoner, 1994). Methods are needed in the classroom, which give the child or adolescent with ADHD, control over his or her condition and thus increased independence, more experiences with success, and increased resiliency. Listening to music has many therapeutic applications, including the development of cognitive skills such as attention and memory (Canadian Association for Music Therapy, 2006). Music is accessible to all teachers and students, and is an easy strategy to implement in classrooms. Yet, despite the knowledge that adolescents are active users of music media (North, Hargreaves, & ONeill, 2000), little research on music and ADHD participants has been completed. Through the use of a single subject case study, the purpose of this research was: look at the academic experience that an adolescent male diagnosed with ADHD faced in his life at school; and to gain a better understanding of how music could potentially affect his ability to self-regulate and cope with the detrimental effects of ADHD during in-class seat work and homework. Multiple interviews with one boy, his parents, and teachers across a 14-week period of time provided a primary source of data. Results indicated that the adolescents experiences with listening to music during school and homework increased the time that he was able to attend and concentrate. Unexpected gains included an increase in his ability to recall information during exams, and an increase in motivation, positive attitude, and mood towards school work as a result of enjoying listening to his favourite music. However, the study also involved the unexpected and disheartening discovery of clashing and competing voices that perhaps ultimately rendered the boys positive experiences with music insignificant, given the louder rule-and-order school culture. The pragmatic realities of working within a school context will need to be considered and strategically addressed if students are to benefit from practices that help even though they may be unconventional and not fully understood.

This study examines the public relations efforts surrounding the popular music group the Beatles’ first United States tour in February of 1964. The evidence, acquired through the composition of a thorough case study of events, suggests that a combination of factors is responsible for their unprecedented international success: the group’s innate talent (both in terms of their craft and their ability to interact with key and intercessory publics); cultivation and maintenance of a specifically-designed image emphasizing their physical appearance, musicianship, wit, and working class background; understanding by the group’s management of the necessity of record label and major media support; the expert knowledge by said management of the media landscape, publicity opportunities, and a keen sense of appropriate timing by which significant publicity is attained. / Department of Journalism
