Semidarkness as Border of Inspiration

Author(s): Vladimír Merta
Subject(s): Visual Arts
Published by: Univerzita Karlova v Praze, Nakladatelství Karolinum
Keywords: underground; folk music; politics; poetry; social unconscious; matrix

Summary/Abstract: My paper is based on concept of Social unconscious and Basic Musical Matrix, defined by Foulkes (1964) and videly commented by Helena Klímová (2017). She explains and compares two different approaches to the personal freedom: that of Underground, subversive art, imported from West, and home-spun folk song. While pure poetry and other forms of literature are thoroughly mapped by generations, the field of songwriting and lyrics is seldom closely watched, if not completely neglected.
