Las descripciones de los espacios habitados en las canciones de rock latinoamericano: un análisis literario del espacio en la canción

This article studies the depictions of the different spaces and settings inhabited in the lyrics of the songs of Latin American rock. The musicians from the region describe spaces such as the city, the streets, the office or space for work, and the home as literary elements which play a significant role in the narratives in the songs. This study aims to show that the space influences to a great extent in the subjects, this influence being of negative nature. In this sense, the songs included in this study constitute critical texts about the human condition; many of these focus on the relation between subjects and these spaces. Also, this article uses semantic and literary analysis to draw conclusions about the subject.

Abstract

This article studies the depictions of the different spaces and settings inhabited in the lyrics of the songs of Latin American rock. The musicians from the region describe spaces such as the city, the streets, the office or space for work, and the home as literary elements which play a significant role in the narratives in the songs. This study aims to show that the space influences to a great extent in the subjects, this influence being of negative nature. In this sense, the songs included in this study constitute critical texts about the human condition; many of these focus on the relation between subjects and these spaces. Also, this article uses semantic and literary analysis to draw conclusions about the subject.
