The analysis of songs as discursive practices contributes to the understanding of the social representations of mental disorders in specific populations, as has been suggested in the literature. The aim of this article is to expand the knowledge about the depictions of madness (a broader but less delimited concept than psychosis) in the popular music focussing on emerging themes and their cross relations within the discourses of the madness in Spanish punk.
Qualitative research method. After the review of 3653 songs (1981-2010) insights from the Thematic Analysis of all the 163 identified lyrics of Spanish punk songs with the terms 'mad,' 'madness' or other related words are provided.
After a thorough discussion of the main themes, the expression of subculture's identity became evident. Its otherness was recognizable on the exaltation of madness as loss of control or unpredictability as well as its links with crime, substance abuse or ideological opposition, among others.
The idea of dangerousness linked to 'madness' emerges as a final pathway of different identified themes, suggesting a potential explanation for the general population attitudes towards the theme of madness.
正如文献中所建议的,对歌曲的分析作为一种话语实践,有助于理解特定人群中精神障碍的社会表征。本文的目的是通过关注新兴主题及其在西班牙朋克音乐中的疯狂话语中的交叉关系,扩展关于流行音乐中疯狂(比精神病更广泛但限制更少的概念)的描述的知识。
定性研究方法。在对 3653 首歌曲(1981-2010 年)进行回顾后,对从西班牙朋克歌曲中确定的 163 首歌词中所有带有“mad”、“madness”或其他相关词的歌曲进行主题分析,得出了深入的见解。
在对主要主题进行了彻底的讨论之后,亚文化身份的表达变得明显。通过将疯狂表达为失去控制或不可预测性,以及将其与犯罪、药物滥用或意识形态对立等联系起来,人们可以认识到它的特殊性。
与“疯狂”相关的危险性观念是不同识别主题的最终途径,这为大众对疯狂主题的态度提供了潜在的解释。
