A mulher nas letras das canções de Chico Buarque

Abstract

This work aims to discuss the figure of the culturally constructed woman as a fragile sex, presented in the lyrics of the composer Chico Buarque de Hollanda. As well as discussing the invention of this concept, since many women do not fit into it. We seek to reflect on the figure of the submissive woman and also on the one who breaks this concept, being the transgressive woman. Finally understand how these stereotypes are perceived in the lyrics of Chico Buarque. The research is of a bibliographic-qualitative nature, supported by scholars like Martha Robles (2006), Alfredo Bosi (1977), Adélia Menezes (2001), among others. The study will be divided in three parts, in the first we seek to answer the question "woman, fragile sex?", From the life of several figures of our history and also of the letters. In the second part, we will present a bibliographic breviary about the author Chico Buarque, as well as his productions as a writer, theatrical artist and his faces in musical compositions. In the last part will be the analysis of some letters, pointing to the position of the female figures in them. Finally, we emphasize that women are trapped in patriarchal stereotypes and are attached to concepts in which they often imprison themselves, and in order to be free they must recognize themselves as a strong woman, free from pre-established concepts. The study led us to conclude that the stereotype of a fragile woman still lingers mainly in the woman's own mind and that the letters of the author in question place her as protagonist, starting from the woman's own voice, which speaks of the place in which she occupies.
