A representação textual-discursiva do caboclo amazonense em músicas populares e lendas regionais

Abstract

This thesis is based on the Sociocognitive Perspective of Critical Discourse Analysis, thematizes the cultural beliefs of the Amazonian caboclo represented ideologically in popular musical texts, regional legends and in the discourses of History and Geography. The choice of the subject is justified because it is necessary talk about the prejudice that the caboclo suffers, since in the case of the Amazon, political projects take nature first to the detriment of man. In general, power conceals this prejudice by describing the wealth of existing natural resources and, above all, constructed landscapes, full of contrasts and contradictions. Thus, this research seeks to prove, through the analysis of selected texts, the existence of prejudice rooted in the social representation of the Amazonian caboclo, defending the need to denounce such prejudice, which leads to social exclusion of the caboclo. There are several works published on amazonian caboclo, but with focus on nature.Thus, this research seeks to answer: 1. What is the role of Amazonian culture in the current regional society? 2. To what extent, despite the miscegenation, do the Amazonian cultural beliefs reveal this prejudice? The general objective of the research is to contribute with the cultural / ideological studies of the Amazonian caboclo, from a critical perspective; and as specific objectives: 1. Examine the updated lexical selection in the text, the social roles represented by them and the cultural / ideological values contained in the social context; 2. To deal with the reference in textual construction and the more global sense of Amazonian musical texts and legends. 3. Present the intertextuality by intertexts related to the analyzed base text. The proposed research presents a qualitative and documental approach, with a theoretical-analytical procedure. The results obtained from the analyzes indicate that: 1) although the caboclo of Amazonas preserves the cultural values inherited by the Indians, it also absorbed ideological values of the colonizer, such as religion; 2) In the musical texts, the caboclo is represented with positive values due to the cultural tradition of the natives and in their search to resume their native culture. The negative values refer to the ideology of the European colonizer that objectified the annihilation of the cabocla culture and its values attributed to the indigenous ethnicity; 3) In the analysis of regional legends, the Legends of Boto and Iara both represent the female desire for the liberation of women against male prejudice. Positive values are attributed to women in the legends of Icamiabas and Iara, as they are representations of women free of men. The Legend of the Great Snake attributes positive value to man, for being protective, gentle, savior. 4) In the discourses of Geography and History, the caboclo is presented with negative values attributed to the inequality and the inferiorization imposed by the civilizational projects and occupation of the region that do not consider them as subjects bearing history and a culture. In summary, this thesis defends the need to denounce the veiled prejudice that leads to the social exclusion of the Amazonian caboclo
