Abstract

Predmet ovoga rada je pojam konceptualnog kontinuiteta Franka Zappe te njegove uloge i prisutnosti unutar njegova stvaralaštva, koji se u radu razmatra kroz tri filma te njihove popratne albume – "200 Motels", "Baby Snakes" i "Uncle Meat" – uz reference na ostatak njegova stvaralaštva gdje je to opravdano i potrebno. Rad započinje pokušajem determiniranja pojma konceptualnog kontinuiteta i čitanja njegove uloge unutar Zappina cjelokupnog stvaralaštva te na koji se način manifestira. Središnji dio rada fokusiran je na na prisutnost konceptualnog kontinuiteta unutar Zappina filmskog stvaralaštva i specifičnosti vezane za filmski medij, propitivanje njegove uloge unutar Zappine glazbe. Zaključni dio rada propituje prisutnost te povezanost tema i motiva vezanih za seksualnost, popularnu kulturu i glazbenu industriju unutar okvira konceptualnog kontinuiteta.

Abstract (english)

The central subject of this thesis is Frank Zappa’s term of conceptual continuity and its role and presence within his works, considered through three of his films with their accompanying albums – "200 Motels", "Baby Snake" and "Uncle Meat" – with references to the rest of his work where it may be justified and needed. In the first chapter I am stating what the conceptual continuity is, what is its potential role and in which way does it possibly manifest within Zappa’s complete works. The second chapter is focused on the presence of the conceptual continuity within Zappa’s cinematic works and the specifics related to the film medium, while the third chapter questions its role within Zappa’s music. In the fourth chapter I am questioning the presence and connectivity of themes and motifs relating to sexuality, popular culture, and the music industry within the framework of the conceptual continuity.
