Abstract:
The present work aims to analyse throughout its writing how the nineteenth-century military government and its ideology regarding developmental policy, implemented laws and actions that were responsible for expropriating and destroying communities that were located within the areas sighted by the government for exploitation. In this respect, we walk through the cultural field, more specifically in Gal Costa's universe of songs, seeking to understand the artistic position of the singer, who expressed through her sixth work (INDIA), a position on the issues that permeated this period of time. We realize that the period was marked by ideological vagueness regarding to the decision-making that would be put into practice in the early years of the regime. We sought to understand at what point the generals government invested in creating a shrewd policy to achieve its objectives. Under the justification of linking the countryside to the rest of Brazil, the government used laws and agencies (Estatuto do Índio and FUNAI, for example) that in theory would be responsible for ensuring the rights of members of these communities, to the extent of their rights. On the other hand, they were responsible for a process of expropriation of part of their territory and violence against their culture. It is the denunciation aspect of this situation that we seek to understand in Gal Costa‘s songs and, for this purpose, we seek to historicize the life of the singer starting from her artistic experiences, and also discussing the concept of developmentalism in the Military Government, analyzing the disc from her approach to the theme related. We use as reference the authors Fernando Nogueira da Costa, Rodrigo Patto Sá Motta, Carlos Renato Carola and Darcy Ribeiro.
