“Tão perto e distante do amor”: histórias de sofrência cantadas pelo brega/sertanejo brasileiro.

Abstract

This dissertation aims to analyze representations about the practices of masculinity in songs from Brega and Brazilian country music genres. Surrounded by the senses of roedeira and sofrência, the songs crossed through different temporalities to report love and disaffection. Compositions in which the woman became a propelling element of the musical plot and the man as one who wandered through heterogeneous affections, indicating places that the masculine was constructed from the educational practices placed in the songs. To guide the construction of this work, a discographic survey of Brega songs sung by Mauricio Reis, Amado Batista, among others was carried out; and Brazilian country songs interpreted by Pablo and Marília Mendonça. Was used the documentary Vou Rifar Meu Coração, directed by Ana Rieper, and Websites which helped to make the research feasible. In the theoretical debate, we dialogue with authors who walk in the field of affectivity, specifically those that approach on the themes of love and jealousy. For that, I dialogue with Jurandir Freire Costa and Roland Barthes to analyze the scenarios of love, Sandra Jatahy Pesavendo with the concept of sensitivity, Stuart Walton about emotions and Maria Izilda de Matos for what is about history and music. By establishing a dialogue between these narratives, it was possible to find a sensitive masculinity, which personified victims of love in musical lyrics and allowed the diffusion of discourses that produce male, suffering, victimized and passionate subjects.
