A voz do rapsodo e a construção da imagem da luta coletiva em letras de canções de Vandré.

Abstract

This work analyzes Geraldo Vandré's songs (lyrics only) and possible features epic. Four songs are part of the corpus of the work: “Disparada”, “Canteiga brava”, “Arueira,” and “Not to say I didn't talk about flowers (walking). I raised the following hypothesis: the presence of echoes of the epic in the analyzed corpus, bringing the voice closer to rhapsode. The analysis will be supported by theories that discuss the hybridism of literary genres. THE This type of analysis is possible because theories have narrative objects and Vandré's songs, at least most of them, feature a “narrator,” whom I called rhapsode. On hybridity it is valid to say that there are two levels: one structural and one conceptual. I make a definition of the epic hero: I use the theory of Lukács (2009), some Flavio Kothe's assertions (1987) and an article by Arturo Gouveia (2007). I also performed a brief survey of some characteristics that can be considered epic, even in the our modern world: the collective struggle against the oppressive force of capital is one of them (CABRAL, 2000). There is also the contribution of Rosenfeld (1996), who discusses characteristics the typical epic hero and the modern hero. The first is ahistorical, mythological; already the second tends to be historicist. I contextualized Vandré's music in the historical era in which it is located. This helps to better understand how echoes of the epic can be found in the songs. Ideal this influenced by the adverse conditions and lack of freedom typical of the military dictatorship triggered in 1964. The analysis has two different biases, but both converge: the epic and the politician. I try to show, in the analysis of the letters, how the mixture of these two elements (political and epic) complement each other to defend the arguments raised here. The The main theorists that support this work are Bakhtin (2003), Staiger (1975), Lukács (2009), Kothe (1987), Rosenfeld (1996) and Ramalho (2013).
