A Distorção Bate às Portas da Percepção: o roqueiro William Blake encontra os poetas da música

Abstract

The present dissertation aims at analysing and justifying the existing link between the work and thought of William Blake and the production of many artists of the 20th and 21st centuries, more specifically those related to the Rock 'n' Roll scene and its derivative and surrounding manifestations. Exploring philosophical and aestheticartistic concepts, as well as social statements shared by both the poet-prophet and the so-called rebel rockers , it is our intent to disclose the existence of a solid though ever-flowing visionary dialog which may help to determine the relevance of Blake in our times
