Abstract

This work seeks to investigate the discourse of the life of the sertanejo, by Luiz Gonzaga's songs show the sertão in its identity, social and cultural aspects. We used an interpretative and qualitative methodology. As a general corpus, we analyzed Luiz Gonzaga's álbum, O Rei Volta pra Casa, released in 1982 composed of 14 songs. We are theoretically based on Van Dijk (2004, 2008), Chouliaraki and Fairclough (1999), Fairclough (2001), Wodak (2004), Resende and Ramalho (2019), regarding Critical Discourse Analysis and Oliveira (1998) and Garcia (1987), referring to aspects that deal with the sertão. As a result, we verified that Luiz Gonzaga's songs composing a collection of plurality that deals with the sertão and the lives of those who live there, achieve, through their discursive construction, to give social visibility to the sertanejo as someone who has a life story represented by courage and appreciation of their culture
