ABSTRACT

We explore representations of women in music by covering a broader symbolic and cultural spectrum. We demonstrate that musical texts engage with representations of gender and sexuality in concrete ways and that these representations can have an impact on attitudes and value systems in real life. We also investigate the relational role of composers, performers, and the media in the transition from the first to the second wave of the Brazilian feminist movement. Finally, we examine the ways in which women are represented in 132 selected compositions in relation to four Brazilian historical periods – New Republic, New State, Postwar, Military Regime – and their protagonists. As a result, it is possible to understand the driving force – both individual and collective – of the construction of relational devices that support effective strategies of discontinuity and/or new discursive agendas.

摘要

我们通过涵盖更广泛的象征和文化范围来探索女性在音乐中的表现。我们证明音乐文本以具体的方式涉及性别和性的表征，并且这些表征可以对现实生活中的态度和价值体系产生影响。我们还研究了作曲家、表演者和媒体在巴西女权运动从第一波到第二波的转变中的关系作用。最后，我们研究了与巴西四个历史时期（新共和国、新国家、战后、军事政权）及其主角相关的 132 首精选作品中女性的表现方式。因此，
