Memórias do samba carioca na voz dos compositores populares : uma análise discursiva de depoimentos do projeto "Puxando Conversa"

Abstract

The present work focuses on a research with samba composers memories who participated in the "Puxando Conversa" Project that, 1990 a 2004, was recorded in video and exhibited in public places, aspects of life and work of 49 samba composers in Rio de January State. Starting with reports, sung and narrated, in video programs, I try to understand the history of samba which is revealed, for the purpose of discussing dialogical relations that constitute the samba as popular culture. There are dialogues that are more controversial, as in the case of which is established between the tradition and the cultural industry, they are responsible for any transformations in which the samba has passed since its popularization in the media, but, in general, I analyze, in the composers statements, their representations about samba, raising the discourses as , investigating how such voices (re) construct ideologically and culturally the social body that circumscribe and still deconstruct and challenge an official model of culture and music. Therefore, I seek, firstly, issues involving the samba from its popularity, in the mid-1920, understanding all of social, historical and cultural context which allows the samba being an icon in our culture. And a study, at last, that involves questions of life and art. To better understand this plot, I refer to Mikhail Bakhtin studies about popular culture, especially those which I may understand the popular culture as the place where processes dialogues and processes clashes live in parity.
