Między Kommune 1 a „niedzielną pieczenią”. Krautrock w świetle koncepcji komunizmu kwasowego
Between Kommune 1 and Sonntagsbraten. Krautrock and Acid Communism

Summary/Abstract: The article examines selected phenomena of the so-called krautrock, i.e.West German rock music of the late 1960s and the 1970s. The analysis is based onMark Fisher’s concept of acid communism and the related issue of collective sub-jectivity. The author distinguishes two opposing tendencies in the music discussed,the first one being the fascination with the collective that goes back to the studentprotests of 1967–1968, and the second one being the (re)appreciation of individualperspective, which manifested itself e.g. in an increased interest in spirituality anda certain kind of social criticism performed from a distanced position. Focusing onthe relationship between the individual and the group, the article analyzes a numberof songs and albums that have received little or no attention from researchers up tonow.
