ROMANIA, Vincenzo. Fedeli alla linea: CCCP and the Italian Way to Punk. Revista Crítica de Ciências Sociais [online]. 2016, n.109, pp.63-82. ISSN 2182-7435.  https://doi.org/10.4000/rccs.6215.

Punk in Italy has largely been overlooked as a research topic in the past, focussing instead on the scene in other nations. This article examines the Italian punk scene and its transition from classic to post-punk, focussing on its most famous and significant band: CCCP - Fedeli alla linea.¹After a short introduction to the historical and cultural background, the results of a qualitative textual analysis of CCCP lyrics using algirdas Greimas' methodology for narrative semiotics (1983) will be presented. as the results show, CCCP's artistic production can be interpreted as a subversive and ironic parody of the collectivist traditions that were dominant in Italian politics and culture at the time (communism and Catholicism), and as a creative critical reaction to neoliberalism. The conclusion briefly discusses certain theoretical issues such as the relationship between punk and authenticity, and compares Italian punk with british and Portuguese punk.

Palabras clave : artistic production; Fedeli alla linea: CCP; Italian music; punk music; sociology of music.
