Poles in the Republic of Lithuania are the best organized Polish minority abroad. They are represented at various levels of government, in the media, organizations, and there is an extensive system of education in their mother tongue. The cultural sphere is an important area of their activity. It is mainly focused on folklore. At the same time, there has appeared a number of youth groups performing various styles of music and functioning on the Lithuanian music market, which is, however, marginally covered in the press. Their work does not principally refer to the problems of the life of the Polish community, and it sometimes expresses critical content. However, these performers introduce the Polish language to a wide cultural circulation and strive for a slightly different shape of relations with the Lithuanian majority than the older generations perceive it. They also contribute to the integration of youth communities. Undoubtedly, the generational rebellion, which was often noticeable in the activities of the Polish musicians of young generation, was a response to the challenges of adulthood and, at the same time, constituted a form of patriotism.

Between patriotism and nationalism: pop-nationalism in rock musicThis article addresses issues which can be seen in the manifestation of ethno-nationalism in rock music. Concepts of nationalism and patriotism are illustrated by references to the literature on the subject. Polish national ideology is formed, for example, on a pragmatic concept of nationalism. A new direction in this work is an examination of pop-nationalism of rock music on the example of the Polish band “Horytnica”. Między patriotyzmem i nacjonalizmem na tle popnacjonalizmu w muzyce rockowejW artykule zajmuję się problematyką popnacjonalizmu przejawiającą się w muzyce rockowej. Ze względu na złożoność pojęć nacjonalizmu i patriotyzmu przytaczam interesujące nas tu opinie na ten temat w literaturze przedmiotu. Pojęcie nacjonalizmu ustalam pragmatycznie na przykładzie deklaracji ideowych polskich organizacji narodowych. Novum w niniejszej pracy stanowi problem popnacjonalizmu w muzyce rockowej, przedstawiony na przykładzie twórczości zespołu „Horytnica”, odwołującej się do wspomnianych idei.

The article presents the possible input of musicologists in terms of popular music studies. It describes basic differences between rock and classical music, being still in the centre of attention of traditional musicology, and underlines the necessity of analysing musical recordings instead of relying on score music. New terminology is proposed – both original and based on Western scholars’ experiences – especially relating to formal structure. The author also analyses different approaches to rhythmics (advocating that scholar himself needs to divide a song into bars), harmonics and melodics (presenting popular models), and instrumentation (underlining the importance of sound processing methods).

The issue of responding to human actions which had caused the environmental pollution and lowering of life quality is hardly alien to Polish rock musicians. Since the 1980s they have been addressing it in their songs, which is compounded with them leading pro-climate lifestyle. This article discusses both, some selected instances of the said musicians’ activism and the lyrical content they proposed to their audiences, tailored to instigate the readers to reflect upon contemporality and the future of the Earth.

Problem odpowiedzi na działania człowieka, które doprowadziły do zanieczyszczenia środowiska przyrodniczego i obniżenia jakości ludzkiego życia, nie jest obojętny części polskich muzyków rockowych. Od lat 80. XX wieku podejmują oni tę tematykę w swoich piosenkach, ale także sami starają się żyć proklimatycznie. W artykule przybliżono zarówno wybrane aktywności muzyków, jak i zaproponowane słuchaczom teksty piosenek, które mają pobudzać odbiorców do refleksji nad teraźniejszością i przyszłością Ziemi.

The study deals with the concepts of Jim Morrison’s art from the perspective of Jim Morrison’s myth especially his “self-made shamanism”. Jim Morrison created a “personal shamanism” that basically determined his art and image. The study explores how and why Jim Morrison created his own myth and built shamanistic elements in his songs, poems, and performances. Besides, the paper touches on the connections and between Jim Morrison’s ideas and show business. Whit this in mind, the study brings up examples of the “Jim Morrison myth” after his death and tries to place this myth in the meanings of modernity’s mythology.

Postcolonial writers like Salman Rushdie often write back to the “empire” by appropriating myth and allegory. In The Ground beneath Her Feet, Rushdie rewrites the mythological story of Orpheus and Eurydice, using katabasis (the trope of the descent into Hell) to comment both on the situation of the postcolonial writer from a personal perspective and to attempt a redefinition of postcolonial migrant identity-formation. Hell has a symbolic function, pointing both to the external context of globalization and migration (which results in the characters’ disorientation) and to an interior space which can be interpreted either as a source of unrepressed energies and creativity (in a Romantic vein) or as the space of the abject (in the manner of Julia Kristeva). The article sets out to investigate the complex ways in which the Orphic myth and katabasis are employed to shed light on the psychology of the creative artist and on the reconfiguration of identity that becomes the task of the postcolonial migrant subject. The journey into the underworld functions simultaneously as an allegory of artistic creation and identity reconstruction.

This article discusses the rituality of rock music and stage images adopted by rock artists as an element of the anthropology of popular culture. Rituality in this music genre emerges at the interface between a performer and the audience, and is manifested through image strategies adopted by artists as an essential aspect of their offer in the music market. This issue proved to be particularly evident in the last decades of the 20th century, when rock became a dominant genre in popular music: the marketing offer aimed at young people was frequently accompanied by social and aesthetic values, allowing audiences to perceive this music as a manifestation of ideas typical of the young generation, placed in opposition to older generations. Rock ethos is often a culture of rebellion where an individual – in this case a rock idol – rises above mediocrity. The mythology of popular music has created several artistic images of which the roles of ‘a rebel’, ‘a sensitive artist’, and ‘an attitude advocate/ideologue’ are the most significant for rock musicians’ activities and their ritualisation. The rituals accompanying rock music perform numerous functions such as the expression of artistic values, the aesthetic function, communication, group integration, identification, and finally, the satisfaction of the need to be part of a group.

The author considers whether Fryderyk Chopin and his oeuvre may be regarded as part of popular culture - and if so, to what extent. However, the text is mostly taken up with analysis of popular instrumental music inspired by Chopin’s works in various ways: from simple quotation, adaptation and transcription to more sophisticated instrumentation and arrangement, free improvisation or even the creation of a completely new work derived from a single motif or sample from Chopin. Consequently, the author deals with the problem of reception, but also with the issue of transculturation and the relationship between high and popular culture. The article shows and describes the variety of Chopin inspiration in a wide range of styles and genres of popular music, such as rock music, easy-listening, electronic music, dance music and disco.

The Czech (proto)underground remains one of the little-mapped phenomena of our modern history, despite the fact it triggered many key events during the communist regime era. The submitted study attempts to look at the persecution of underground society from the position of repressive bodies working as a kind of service organisation of the Communist Party. The roots of the underground date back to the mid-1960s when a generation defining itself (not just) against its parents reached a peak. Its most visible manifestations were seen at a "physical" level - long hair, and the musical "explosion" of beat groups. The first repression of this "bad" music occurred as early as 1957, with a witch hunt taking place ten years later in the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic against "vlasatce" (meaning long-haired men). Another wave of sistematic persecution occurred in the mid-1970s following events which occurred in the small village of Rudolfov near České Budějovice. It was then that State Security (the secret police) first noted that it was once again facing an old enemy whose rise it had neglected to notice.

The Polish rock and punk scene has served for decades as amedium for the expression of anti-establishment values. In the 1980s, during the dark days of martial law, groups such as Manaam, Perfect, TSA, and Brygada Kryzys variously mocked and satirised the communist authorities. Kryzys stopped playing in 1983 rather than work under the conditions of martial law, but was resurrected in 1990. Since the “big bang” of 1989, both the groups dominating the establishment and the nature of rock opposition have changed. Instead of communism, it is capitalism which is now seen by some rock and especially punk bands as “the enemy”. The Polish music scene has witnessed avariety of perspectives. They all reflect the dilemmas of modern Polish society with its inequalities, identity threats and polarisation.

Polska scena rockowa i punkowa służyła przez dziesięciolecia jako medium wyrażania antysystemowych wartości. W latach 80. XX w., w czasie mrocznych dni stanu wojennego, grupy takie jak Manaam, Perfect, TSA i Brygada Kryzys szydziły i satyrycznie traktowały władze komunistyczne; ostatni z nich przestał grać w 1983 r., po wprowadzeniu stanu wojennego, ale został reaktywowany w 1990 r. Od czasu "wielkiego wybuchu" w 1989 r. zmienili się zarówno gracze związani z establishmentem, jak i natura opozycji rockowej. Zamiast komunizmu, obecnie kapitalizm jest postrzegany jako główne wyzwanie, przede wszystkim przez niektóre rockowe i punkowe zespoły. Polska scena muzyczna jest zatem miejscem występowania różnorodnych perspektyw ideologicznych i muzycznych. Wszystkie odzwierciedlają dylematy współczesnego polskiego społeczeństwa z jego nierównościami, wyzwaniami tożsamościowymi i polaryzacją.

Polska muzyka rockowa to, rzecz jasna, przede wszystkim konkretni artyści i ich dźwiękowo-tekstowa twórczość (której początki datuje się na przełom lat 50. i 60.). Ta trwająca już ponad półwiecze historia ma jednak wartego wspomnienia sekundanta – jest nim kino dokumentalne. Artykuł prezentuje przejawy tego muzyczno-filmowego spotkania w latach 60. i 70., kiedy polski bigbit rozwijał się, przybierał coraz ambitniejsze formy, ale też przeżywał okresy kryzysu. Film dokumentalny pewne aspekty tych zjawisk zapisał na taśmie – zarówno w postaci reportaży Polskiej Kroniki Filmowej, jak i krótkometrażowych produkcji (wyróżniają się tu „Mocne uderzenie. Opus II” Andrzeja Trzosa i Krzysztofa Szmagiera oraz „Sukces” Marka Piwowskiego). Choć materiał badawczy nie jest obfity ilościowo, to przyjrzenie mu się z perspektywy analityczno-historycznej prowadzi do wielu ciekawych odkryć, będących też koniecznym punktem wyjścia dla namysłu nad kolejnymi dekadami styku polskiego rocka i dokumentu.

Polish rock music of course means certain artists and their work in text and sound (dating back to the turn of the 1950s and 1960s). Polish Rock, now over half a century old, has a worthy companion in documentary film. The article presents the meeting points of Rock and film during the 1960s and 1970s, when Polish rock music was developing, taking on most ambitious forms, but when it also experienced moments of crisis. Some aspects of this were recorded in documentaries – both in the form of the Polish newsreel and short documentaries (especially „Big Beat. Opus II” by Andrzej Trzos and Krzysztof Szmagier and „Success” by Marek Piwowski). Although research material is not abundant in quantity, its analysis taking into account its historical context leads to many interesting discoveries, which are a necessary starting point for further reflection on successive decades of coexistence of Polish rock music and the documentary.

Jednym z czynników, które przez wieki kształtowały kulturę Zachodu, jest tradycja judeochrześcijańskaoparta o Biblię. Motywy, cytaty i symbole zaczerpnięte z kart Biblii przenikałydo języków europejskich i oddziaływały, zarówno na kulturę wysoką, jak i popularną.Inspiracji biblijnych po wielokroć można doszukać się także w muzyce metalowej. Pracaniniejsza jest próbą krótkiego scharakteryzowania co oryginalniejszych motywów biblijnychpojawiających się w tekstach zespołów metalowych, zwracając jednocześnie uwagę naniewielkie dotychczas zainteresowanie tym aspektem tradycji biblijnej w opracowaniachnaukowych.

One of the many factors which has been creating the west culture is the Judeo-Christiantradition based on the Bible. Motives, quotations and symbols that are coming from the Biblehave been permeating to the European languages as well as they have influenced both thehigh culture and the popular culture. Moreover, the biblical inspirations can be found in metalmusic as well. The underlying paper constitutes an attempt of brief characterization when itcomes to more original biblical motives that are constantly appearing in the lyrics of metalbands, simultaneously, it emphasizes a slight current interest of this biblical aspect in thescientific researches.
