Memória da música popular brasileira e agenciamentos da vida social

Abstract

The article proposes to reflect about forms of agencing of the Brazilian music memoryas way of understanding the social life, from the four books analysis dedicated to the history of MPB. The approach of Chega de Saudade and A noite do meu bem (Ruy Castro), Eu não sou cachorro, não (Paulo Cesar de Araujo) and Cowboys do Asfalto (Gustavo Alonso) seeks to understand how these authors articulate aspects of social memory, entangling a wide range of documentary sources, in particular, interviews by themselves, forming a rich mosaic in that the past - captured through versions and perceptions -is stressed by other narratives, now in present, in a game readjustments and re-inscriptions. Among the invited conceptual operators for this text, we highlight the notions of social memory, the relationship between memory and social identity (Pollack, 1992), collective memory (Le Goff, 2013) and distinctions on the memory indicated by Halbwachs (2006).
