Testi musicali e contesti sociali : un'indagine empirica

2018 - Franco Angeli

45-66 p.

  • The article presents an original empirical contribution based on a large representative sample of the most popular Italian songs from 1960 to the present day. The research aims to describe the salient features of these sixty years, but also to explain how and why Italian songwriting has undergone a process of partial involution compared to the past. The explanatory elements considered above all concern the influence of new technologies, while the analytical foundations are based on the socio-linguistic study of the song lyrics.
