Que será que será: machismo e empoderamento feminino em letras de música de Chico Buarque

Abstract

This dissertation departs from the observation that the receptivity and the interpretation of sung poems, as well as of other artistic productions, are not only determined by the intellectual baggage of the receiving public but are also influenced by the speeches in vogue in a given society. Before this perception and, having in mind the possible relation between the feminist list and the paper of the art, the present work consists in analysing the woman who emerges from lyrics by Chico Buarque, specifically Tuacantiga , from the recent album Caravelas , that generated controversy among the internet users, who considered some of the verses to be macho twelve other compositions, some of them present in the album À flor da pele whose theme is the feminine according to the characterization present on the cover of the DVD itself. For this, the material that served as theoretical support for analysis of this literary corpus was the study of works on the function of the art, on the role of women in Western society and on the military civil dictatorship in Brazil period in which it was written to most of the analysed compositions. Besides these, cultural researches, such as the receptivity of other compositions that refer to a gender perspective, were made. Among the authors studied are Judith Butler, Luis Felipe Miguel, Michel Foucault, Pierre Bourdieu, Ronaldo Vainfas, Sigmund Freud, SusanBesser. The pretension of this dissertation is to contribute productively with the discussions of genres, aiming at the reflection on a reality that still points to the lack of equity and, so, requires constant study and redirection of the look about the politics of genders
