Lecture: Loneliness and Community
A comparative analysis of the metaphorical concepts for loneliness and community in Russian and English Rock music of the 1980s/1990s
My research project “A comparative analysis of the metaphorical concepts for loneliness and community in Russian and English Rock music of the 1980s/1990s” will deal with, as the title suggests, the concepts for loneliness and community in the two languages/countercultures. I have selected five alternative Rock bands per language which can be considered “spokesmen for that generation” and will compare the different source domains for the two concepts in the lyrics of those bands. I hope that my research will reflect the states that both cultures were in in the 80s/90s and thus show in how far the musicians were influenced by their contemporary generation and vice versa, as well as highlight the different conceptualizations of community and loneliness in an individualistic and a socialistic society.
