Abstract

V svojem diplomskem delu se ukvarjam z vplivom glasbe na družbeno in politično dogajanje od petdesetih pa vse tja do začetka devetdesetih let 20. stoletja. Osredotočila sem se na dogajanje v štirih državah zahodnega bloka, in sicer na dogajanje v Združenih državah Amerike, Veliki Britaniji, Italiji in Franciji. V petdesetih letih je ZDA pretresel rock'n'roll in za mlade pomenil novo možnost izražanja in osvoboditev. Starejše generacije so ga videle kot grožnjo, saj je rock'n'roll predstavljal prevelik vpliv temnopoltega prebivalstva, ki velja za »izumitelja« te glasbene zvrsti. Rasno vprašanje ostaja do določene mere nerešeno vse do danes, a je v šestdesetih in sedemdesetih letih doseglo vrelišče. Poleg temnopoltih glasbenikov so se na problematiko odzvali tudi belopolti glasbeniki in bili velikokrat napadeni s strani javnosti, medtem ko so prvi nemalokrat naleteli tudi na neodobravanje med temnopoltim prebivalstvom. Ameriško in svetovno javnost je v šestdesetih letih pretresla vietnamska vojna in povzročila množično neodobravanje javnosti, ki se je kazalo v protestnih shodih in pesmih. Simbol tega časa in dokaz, da je mir mogoč, pa je legendarni glasbeni festival Woodstock. V Veliki Britaniji je bil kot družbena kritika pomemben punk, ki s svojimi ostrimi besedili ni nikomur prihranil kritike, izjema ni bila niti angleška kraljica. Konec osemdesetih let pa je Bob Geldof za pomoč žrtvam lakote v Etiopiji priredil humanitarni koncert Live Aid, ki je požel velik medijski uspeh in zbral zajetno vsoto denarja. Ne manjka tudi kritik, kjer je bil glavni očitek ta, da je bil dogodek predstavljen samo kot medijski pomp, ki situacije v Etiopiji ni nikakor izboljšal. V Italiji izstopa fenomen kantavtorjev in njihova politična angažiranost. Najbolj znan glasbeni dogodek v Italiji je Sanremo, ki se v svoji zgodovini v takšni ali drugačni obliki ni izognil političnemu vplivu in cenzuri. V Franciji je imela glasba velik vpliv v protestnih gibanjih, ki so ulice francoskih mest preplavila maja leta 1968.

Secondary title: Influence of music on the social and political events in the second half of the 20th century
Secondary abstract: The thesis discusses the influence of music on social and political events from the 1950’s until the early 1990’s. It focuses on the events in the four countries of the Western bloc, more precisely on the events in the United States of America, Great Britain, Italy and France. In the Fifties rock’n’roll shook the USA. For the youth it represented the new opportunity of communication and liberation. Older generations viewed it as a threat, because it represented too big of an influence of Afro-American population that is considered the »inventor« of this musical genre. Racial issue remains unsolved to today but it reached its climax in the Sixties and Seventies. Besides the black musicians also the white musicians responded to the issue and were often attacked by the public. Black musicians also had to deal with the disapproval within the black community. In the 1960’s the Vietnam war shocked the American and the world public and caused great disapproval that was reflected in protests and protest songs, the symbol of this time and a proof that peace can be reached is the legendary music festival Woodstock. In Great Britain punk was very important form of social critique and no one was safe from its pungent lyrics, not even the Queen herself. At the end of the Eighties Bob Geldof organised a humanitarian concert, Live Aid, for the victims of famine in Ethiopia that had great media success and raised a large amount of money. But there were also critiques that the event was represented just as a mediatic spectacle that didn’t improve the situation in Ethiopia in the slightest. In Italy the phenomenon of singer-songwriters and their political engagement is the most frequent one. The most known musical event in Italy is Sanremo that throughout its history wasn’t able to avoid the political influence and censorship. In France music had a great impact in protest movements that had invaded the streets of French cities on May of 1968.
