O feminino e o masculino nas canções Pai e mãe, Sandra e Super-homem - a canção, de Gilberto Gil

Abstract

The main objective of this final paper is to analyze, under the support of the popular song, poetry and the studies of genre, three songs of the singer and composer Gilberto Gil, respectively, “Pai e mãe”, from the album entitled Refazenda (1975), “Sandra”, from the album Refavela (1977) and “Super-Homem, a canção”, from the album Realce (1979), in an attempt to raise questions about the places of speech as well as bodies of the feminine and masculine genres. To reflect on songs and poetic texts, we used the studies of Carlos Rennó (2003) and Luiz Tatit (2004). With regard to gender studies, we used the studies of Cristina Stevens (2005), Elizabeth Grosz (2000) and Elisabeth Badinter (1993). Among the results of the research, we observed a dimension of Gilberto Gil that has not yet been widely explored, namely, the construction of gender identity under the most recent focus of this discussion, in which we hope to contribute for other researchers to dwell on the studies of genre in popular song.
