Discotext: eredità e influenze dei modelli testuali e performativi nella musica disco

Abstract

This article semiotically analyses constituent elements of disco, describing the traces left in pop culture, at a time when it is enjoying a cultural re-legitimation, not only as music but as a whole lifestyle. Here emerges a micro-cultural system which, through different dimensions (sound, visual, audiovisual), has given rise to innovative processes (a new dance relevance, while arises the dj fi gure) relating to new sound production practices (mix and remix) which changed forever the status of sound reproduction, fi nally marking a profound change of perspective about the values at stake in pop music.
