Pink Floyd: uma análise do disco animals em diálogo com o contexto sociopolítico na década de 1970

Abstract

This research is dedicated to presenting an analysis of the album Animals, by the band Pink Floyd, considering its context of production and placement in the 1970s. It addresses the post-war cultural and political process as an influence on the band's production: an analysis of the disc correlating it with the socio-political movements that were identified as counterculture. The methodology used is based on the studies of cultural performances and, considering the evolution and the historical process of the band in dialogue with the cultural youth movements in the late 1960s and during the 1970s, it verifies the criticism of Roger Waters performed in the Animals disc. It is possible to conclude that the disc is a faithful portrayal of its historical context and expresses criticism of political authoritarianism, which was also the target of the social movements of the time.
