Rock, along with being one of the most important manifestations of contemporary music, is a phenomenon that exceeds the purely musical to become the spokesman of the dreams and desires of several generations, especially in the transition towards the permanent search for what is considered sacred. This course seeks to explore, from the lyrical analysis of some of the most representative bands and soloists of the genre, the contribution that from a literary point of view, in dialogue with the great world literature, rock has delivered since its origins and whose culmination and recognition was marked by the Nobel Prize to Bob Dylan in 2016. Additionally, from the literary dimension of rock, the presence of a transcendent dimension expressed as a search for the sacred, linked to various spiritual traditions of both East and West, will be investigated. Such configurations between the expression of the musical, the expression of the poetic and the expression of the search for the sacred constitute the fundamental pillars of this course. It should be noted that this formative transition includes the analysis of songs and poetic productions that intertwine the longings and dreams of generations with the sacred.
