Synopsis
Mythologist in Microgroove investigates the ways in which popular music, as well as other popular genres, engaged with and critiqued modern myth during years of cultural and political upheaval, from the late 1960s to the mid 1980s. The Italian cantautore, Fabrizio De Andre, is the productive lens of the book, as it considers the myths of the medieval hanged man, the cowboy, Jesus of Nazareth, and Fiddler Jones. Across four chapters, the author engages the contemporary cultural context and events in Italy, as well as abroad, and interprets them through the lens of popular cultural productions. She weaves the voices of Bob Dylan, Francesco De Gregori, Francesco Guccini, Dario Fo, and Edgar Lee Masters with that of De Andre to propose a new perspective on the countercultural years. De Andre's music arises as singularly profound and persistent in its critique of elements of western culture that have guided its trajectory since the late medieval period., In Mythologist in Microgroove: A Study of Italian Myths and Cultural Shifts with Fabrizio De André on Lead Vocals , author Julianne VanWagenen investigates the ways in which popular music, as well as other popular genres, engaged with and critiqued modern myth during years of cultural and political upheaval in Italy, from the late 1960s to the mid-1980s.
