摘 要
摇滚自诞生起便不断地为自由而斗争。在压迫和反抗中,摇滚乐中的自由观念和摇滚精神在全世界得到了广泛的传播,英语论文,作用了一代又一代的青年。在中国,摇滚乐已成为了一个具有中国特色的文化标志。近年来,英语毕业论文,国内外对于摇滚乐的探讨也渐渐增加,例如中国作家郝舫编著的《伤花怒放》。人们发现摇滚乐不仅是一种音乐类型,更是一个与社会学、哲学和心理学关系紧密的学科。
本文主要探究在二十世纪六十年代到八十年代——摇滚的黄金时期,摇滚所反映的自由观念。通过对摇滚乐的定义、历史和所受的压迫来略论摇滚乐是如何让人们自由的,以及它所解放的是哪种自由。本文意在让人们客观地依据事实评价摇滚,解除摇滚乐所受的误解。本文共有三部分,第一部分了解摇滚的定义和分类;第二部分纵观摇滚从诞生到二十世纪八十年代的简史;第三部分探讨摇滚大事件,探究事件背后坚持自由和斗争的摇滚精神。
