Punk sound and writing : a few relections about sonorous and textual identities of the punk scene in France (1976-2016)
Résumé
While considering the prism of cultural transfers (from the Anglo-American world to
France and the diffusion and local re-appropriations), the objective of our communication is
to analyze the punk scene textual and sound corpus in France on the long term (40 years) and
identify the French specificities.
First of all, we will scrutinize the history of its creation and the evolutions of the corpus to
locate the ruptures or time inflections of the movement. In the meantime, we will determine
the existence of several musical generations. We will also particularly pay attention to the
shapes and hybridation of the local and regional scenes (the punk of the Ramoneurs de
Menhirs in Brittany that mixes Breton culture and anarcho-punk music is different from the
Basque Negu Goriak that uses the Basques codes and language with a ska-punk-hardcore
sound with a touch of rap). This study should in fine trigger a reflection around punk music
stylistics in France either claimed within the country (musical codes and norms promoted by
French musicians), reconstructed (highlighting imposed or semi imposed forms of punk
composition codes) or considered in the point of view of contamination and mixing of punk
music with other musical styles.
