Abstract

U ovome se radu pokušava rekonstruirati djelovanje diskografske kuće Elektroton koja je poslovala u razdoblju od 1937. do 1947. godine i proizvodila gramofonske ploče na 78 okretaja u minuti. Budući da se dio poslovanja odvijao tijekom Drugog svjetskog rata u okvirima strogih cenzura i kontrola, rad istražuje političku pozadinu, kao i utjecaj aktualnih kulturnih politika. U diskografskoj industriji je takav utjecaj usmjeren na zabrane pojedinih glazbenih žanrova te strogi nadzor nad uvozom stranih diskografskih izdanja. Drugi fokus u radu stavljen je na djelovanje radija Hrvatski krugoval. Analiza repertoara Elektrotonove građe iz toga razdoblja pokazala je mehanizme prodora popularne glazbe raznih žanrova i podrijetla, unatoč strogim državnim kontrolama.

Abstract (english)

In this thesis, an attempt is made to reconstruct the activities of the record company Elektroton, which operated in the period from 1937 to 1947 and produced gramophone records at 78 revolutions per minute. Since part of the business took place during the Second World War within the framework of strict censorship and controls, the work explores the political background, as well as the influence of current cultural policies. In the record industry, such influence is focused on the banning of certain musical genres and strict supervision over the import of foreign record releases. The second focus of the paper is on the impact of the radio with an emphasis on the work of the Hrvatski krugoval. The analysis of the repertoire of Elektroton's material from that period showed the penetration mechanisms of popular music of various genres and origins, despite strict state controls.
