The music mainstream in communism revisited: a corpus analysis of Czechoslovak pop lyrics (1962–1991)

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This article presents a content analysis of Czechoslovak pop lyricsbased on a survey of a representative corpus of the repertoire from1962 to 1991 containing 271 commercially successful vocal–instrumentalsongs. Its aim is to capture the thematic development ofsong lyrics on a defined timeline with regard to the broader culturaland political context, especially in relation to political developmentsin Czechoslovakia after the occupation by Warsaw Pacttroops in August 1968 and the subsequent phase of so-called“normalization”. In this sense, the article examines the concept of“normalization pop”, which appeared in Czech journalism immediatelyafter the collapse of the communist regime and which graduallybecame part of the official interpretation of Czechoslovakpopular music history. According to this view, the pop of the1970s and 1980s, especially through its lyrics, fulfilled a primarypropaganda function, thus fundamentally distinguishing itself fromthe authentic output of the previous decade. The article exploresthe extent to which such an interpretation corresponds to the realnature of pop of the period, and to what extent it is merelya construct of anti-communist tendencies seeking a vigorous rejectionof the pre-1989 era and its official culture.
