  • 1 Las Letras De Canciones De Pop-Rock Español Como Textos Poéticos
    LAS LETRAS DE CANCIONES DE POP-ROCK ESPAÑOL COMO TEXTOS POÉTICOS: UN MODELO ALTERNATIVO DE EDUCACIÓN LITERARIA PARA E.S.O. Y BACHILLERATO Juan Gómez Capuz (Grupo Val.Es.Co. - Universitat de València I.E.S. “Sant Vicent Ferrer” – Algemesí) RESUMEN En este trabajo intentaremos diseñar un amplio modelo de análisis de textos poéticos, aplicado a las letras de canciones de pop-rock en español. Este modelo alternativo de educación literaria está especialmente dirigido a jóvenes entre 14 y 18 años, con el objeto de que sean capaces de reconocer cierto grado de elaboración poética en las canciones pop de la vida diaria. Los aspectos poéticos estudiados en este artículo, siempre aplicados a letras de pop-rock cantado en español, incluyen un amplio abanico de materias como los géneros poéticos, la intertextualidad, los tópicos literarios, la métrica, los recursos retóricos (tanto figuras de dicción como de pensamiento), así como la imitación de modelos literarios previos (la poesía del amor cortés típica de la Baja Edad Media y el Renacimiento, y la poesía surrealista propia de la “Generación del 27”). KEY WORDS: poetry, literary education, lyrics. ABSTRACT In this paper, we try to outline a comprehensive model of analysis of poetical texts applied lyrics of Spanish pop-rock songs. This alternative model of literary education is specially addressed to youngsters between 14 and 18 years old so that they could become conscious that lyrics of everyday pop songs contain a certain degree of poetical elaboration. Poetical aspects studied in this article, always applied to lyrics of Spanish pop-rock songs, include a wide range of matters such as poetical genres, intertextuality, literary commonplaces, metrics and analysis of verse, rhetorical features (both figures of speech and figures of thought) and imitation of previous literary models (courtly love poetry typical of Late Middle Ages and Renaissance and “Generación del 27” surrealistic poetry).
