dbo:abstract
  • The Revolution Will Not Be Televised (auf Deutsch: Die Revolution wird nicht im Fernsehen übertragen werden) ist ein Gedicht und ein Lied von Gil Scott-Heron (1949–2011), das er etwa 1969/70 verfasste. Die Titelzeile ist seit ihrer Veröffentlichung zu einem geflügelten Wort geworden. Der Text kritisiert die materialistische und konsumorientierte Prägung der Gesellschaft in den Vereinigten Staaten und im Speziellen das Fernsehen als das wichtigste Medium, das diese Lebensweise propagiert. Im Geist der US-amerikanischen Bürgerrechtsbewegung ist es ein Appell an die Afroamerikaner, sich aus der passiven Rolle des Medien- und auch Drogenkonsumenten zu lösen und selbst tätig zu werden, um den damals noch tief in der US-amerikanischen Gesellschaft verankerten Rassismus und die Rassentrennung zu bekämpfen, zu überwinden und die eigenen Lebensumstände zu verbessern.

  • The Revolution Will Not Be Televised (« La Révolution ne sera pas télévisée ») est un poème de Gil Scott-Heron ensuite mis en musique par son auteur. Le morceau comme l'auteur sont devenus une référence en matière d'art vocal et de conscience politique. Le poème est une « polémique agressive contre les médias de masse et contre l'ignorance par l'Amérique blanche de la dégradation progressive des conditions de vie dans les cités ». Le style vocal proto-rap de Gil Scott-Heron a influencé toute une génération d'artistes. C'est pourquoi il est considéré comme le précurseur du phrasé qui deviendra la caractéristique du hip hop puis du rap. Musicalement, Gil Scott-Heron a créé la formule que le hip-hop et le rap suivront : des arrangements de modern jazz très dépouillés avec une mélodie très courte et très répétitive donnée par une guitare basse sur des rythmes martelés par une batterie.

The song's title was originally a popular slogan among the 1960s Black Power movements in the United States. Its lyrics either mention or allude to several television series, advertising slogans and icons of entertainment and news coverage that serve as examples of what "the revolution will not" be or do. The song is a response to the spoken-word piece "When the Revolution Comes" by The Last Poets, from their eponymous debut, which opens with the line "When the revolution comes some of us will probably catch it on TV". It was inducted to the National Recording Registry in 2005. In 2021, it was ranked at No. 258 on Rolling Stone's "Top 500 Best Songs of All Time". (en)
