This book is an interdisciplinary analysis of an art form that is
crucial to the understanding of Italian contemporary society:
political music from the 1960s to today. The musical activities of
left-wing and right-wing bands and singer-songwriters reveal deep
rifts in a country which, even today, has not yet come to terms
with fascism, the political hatred of the Years of Lead, nor the
social division of the 2000s, which climaxed in the Genoa Group of
Eight summit in 2001. This book aims to describe Italian political
music, highlighting its relationship with important international
genres like American folk music revival, the French chansonniers,
punk, ska, reggae and alterlatino as well as traditional music from
all over the world. These musical influences shed light on a
connection to linguistic dynamics that particularly binds the
Italian, Spanish, French and English languages. A case study based
on a corpus of forty-one bands and singer-songwriters uses
cultural, digital humanities and literary techniques to provide
insights into the sociolinguistic aspects of Italian and reveal the
linguistic patterns that are typical of politics and gender
discourse. The book also presents a comparative study of the
relationship between the lyrics of new popular musicians and
literature across the globe.
