Entre o teatro e a canção: uma leitura semiótica de Gota D'Água

Abstract

This research aims to investigate and develop a semiotic study about the dialogical interactions between the theatre and the song systems in the play Gota D Água (1975) written by Chico Buarque and Paulo Pontes. To achieve this purpose will be required a combination of theories from the Semiotics of Culture, the dramatic language and the song, emphasizing the studies on Brazilian Popular Music (MPB). Thus, we intend to create an inter-semiotic dialogue between the theatre and the song, considering them as two structural semiotic languages to the understanding of the play Gota D Água. In this study, both dramatic language and the song (MPB) language will be considered as a second-degree modelling system, once they convey their own meaning and have singular codifications in relation to the natural language, the first-degree modelling system. Through the establishment of this semiotic network, we hope contribute to the increasing of the systemic communication network of culture itself.
