Um estudo das metáforas na música de Chico Buarque de Hollanda

Abstract

This work seeks to understand how the composer Chico Buarque de Hollanda makes use of figures of language, more specifically of metaphors, in the composition of their lyrics. In the course of this work, will be identified the relationship between metaphors and the history of Brazil in years marked by the military dictatorship, spanning the 1970s. Through these compositions intended to demonstrate the use of metaphors such as the possibility of the words acquire different meanings, generating various interpretations. We will also reveal, with proper analyses of selected songs from this period, this figure of speech may become the hallmark of this decade, being employed as a resource to disguise a voice of protest against the current system. Expected to achieve the goal, we propose a bibliographic search supplemented by desk research. The historical, social, and cultural of Brazil during this period will be recorded by pointing a brief passage of life and the composer's musical trajectory, as well as its influence in the period of repression
