Os sambas-enredos cariocas nas décadas de 1970 e 1980: a ditadura militar e suas implicações em São Luís - MA

Abstract

This study aims to conduct a critical-argumentative analysis of Rio de Janeiro samba-enredos and contextualize them within the historical, political, and social context of the 1970s and 1980s. To this end, this proposal also examines previous decades, such as the Vargas era, the period of emergence and consolidation of Modern Samba, more precisely, of its subgenre, samba-enredo. These samba-enredos also analyze the socio-political and economic context of the country, triggered by the Military Dictatorship. The context of the establishment, period of validity and removal of the military dictatorship is also explored, at a national and local level, that is, in the state of Maranhão and the capital São Luís, in order to make a brief comparative analysis between the socio-political and economic context, historical landmarks in the 1970s and 1980s and their influences on the samba-enredos composed during this period
