Cazuza: vivendo a finitude: análise das composições do artista à luz da logoterapia

Abstract

Logotherapy has been studied as human beings begin to question themselves about the meaning of their existence. Having as a precursor of this theory, Viktor Frankl and their respective studies, have been contributing to possible answers to such a question, the fact is that professionals from different areas have been dedicating themselves to research on this theory. But, if we propose to analyze through the song lyrics of an artist in a terminal health situation, what concepts of Viktor Frankl will be applicable? What contribution to the understanding of the artist's cultural work can Frankl's theory bring? How deepening would such an analysis have in the academic form? For the answers, this article will address lyrics from the last album of the singer Cazuza, having as an instrument of analysis the IRAMUTEQ program, the bibliographic review of the chapter The Thesis of Tragic Optimism, of the book In Search of Meaning, written by Viktor Frankl which talks about pain, guilt, and death. The objective of this study for academia is to contribute to the perception of the possibility of research in several areas about logotherapy. As well as demonstrating to society how the artist expressed himself in his compositions in the face of the adverse situation experienced. Through the study, through data collection, it was possible to perceive the artist's intention to express his feelings about his moment of life in the face of his delicate state of health and the imminent process of his death.
