Analisando o discurso cantado: o papel do homem e da mulher em músicas de Luiz Gonzaga e Jackson do pandeiro

Abstract

What discourse do we find in society that can tell us how the social roles of men and women are established in a particular culture, such as the Brazilian culture and, more specifically, the culture from the Northeast of Brazil? In order to answer this question, and other correlate ones, we analyze and discuss ideologies linked to social memory, which have been reproduced over the years. The differences between men and women have been subject of great social conflicts and, for this reason, in this paper, we seek to analyze how the music discourse carries the dominant ideology in the society on this subject. We take as theoretical basis for our work the French Discourse Analysis, which has the name of PÊCHEUX (2002) as a great exponent. We are also based on the writings of Mussalim and Bentes (2001), Orlandi (1999), Brandão (1998), among others. The present research has a qualitative and interpretative basis, in which we analyze samples to give general opinions. The corpus of this work is songs interpreted by Luiz Gonzaga and Jackson do Pandeiro. In the lyrics of the analyzed songs we find strong traces of a patriarchal culture in which the discourse portrays macho ideologies, that is, the lessening of female figure before the imposition of male figure.
