Jiří Plocek: Song as a symbol

The starting point of the discussion is the book Song as a symbol (Galén 2022), in which the author investigates what song, as one of the basic elements of human culture, means to man. What role does it play in history? What does it mirror? What does it mean to each of us personally? What does it also say about us? What does it say about our times?

The theme reflects the author's personal experience as a musician, an active participant in major festivals, a lover and explorer of Moravian traditional culture, and a journalist who tries to capture some remarkable aspects of the social impact of song. For example, how contemporary popular celebrities can influence politics and social conditions.
