Entre Melodias e Violências: Uma análise da(s) representação(ções) da mulher brasileira nas músicas

Abstract

Violence against women has been prevalent in Brazilian society for several years. However, we must deepen the discussion regarding how such crime manifests and propagates within our patriarchal system. Music is also a relevant cultural product within our context, and the way its lyrics reflect society as a whole has led us to consider it as an object of study with aspects of misogynistic ideals. Therefore, our general objective is to analyze contemporary music from the perspective of violence against women. Our specific objectives are to deepen knowledge about violence and its expression; to review the position of women in different historical and geographical contexts; and to analyze how both topics are present in contemporary songs. To do so, we conducted a bibliographic research through the reading of articles and books that support our ideas. We then used authors such as Arendt (2004), Foucault (2012), Lerner (2019), Engels (2019), Muraro (1997), Boas (2010), Bourdieu (2002), and others as a foundation.
