Discourse Analysis of Rabindrasangeet (Tagore Songs): Special reference to Nationalistic songs composed amidst the Indian Freedom Movement Abstract: A given cultural system is continuously restructured by the semantic potentialities and symbolic connections generated by the aesthetic operation of human cognition. Aesthetic behaviours are influenced by social institutions, belief systems, and cultural frameworks in this complex two-way relationship. Through the production of creative work, the manufacturing process, and societal context, artistic expression is a process of replicating experiences and modifying related values. In the creation of cultural products, aesthetic expression fills the gap between theoretically static social systems and actually dynamic human behaviour. Social techniques allow people of a society a variety of options, which leaves the potential for perception and manipulation. In the phenomenological process of cultural development known as aesthetic expression, emotional human relationships serve as the motivation for existence. In a world of ever-changing tastes, ever-tumbling values, and ever-shifting forms, the intellectual truth and moral beauty of Rabindranath Tagore’s creations remain bright and untarnished, the very quintessence of our Indian culture and civilization. With a literary career spanning over 68 years, the total number of published books by him sums to 235. Approximately 2233 songs of Tagore, in Gitabitan (Tagore, 1964), can be broadly classified into Parjayes (thematic taxonomy) or groups – viz. Puja (Devotion), Prem (Love), Prakriti (Nature), Swadesh (Nationalistic), Bichitro (Miscellaneous), and Anushthanik (Ceremonial), including the different musicals and dance-dramas composed by Tagore. Tagore made a significant contribution to the political movement in India through his songs. Even though he had no direct affiliation with any political movement, his heart broke for the bonds of slavery. The Indians were inspired by his writings and melodies to join the national cause. Under such a milieu, the present paper tries to explore songs composed by Tagore (popularly known as Rabindrasangeet), that were composed amidst Indian National Movement under Swadesh parjay (Nationalistic theme) and tries to approach them through discourse analysis. The paper’ is to find the relationship between the School of Communication and the School of Aesthetics through Rabindrasangeet.
