Figurações do tempo em poéticas de canções de Chico Buarque de Holanda

Abstract

The thesis studies the modes of time manifestation in Chico Buarque's poetry. From the analysis of poems we tried to demonstrate the different ways in which the poet uses to figure out the concerns that time raises. More than that: it was intended to demonstrate that the poet maintains a close connection with the present, even when his posture points to the contrary. Thus, as a way of contesting the immediate reality, the poet uses certain devices of resistance as a mythical past, the feast, samba and other elements through which time manifests itself and it is possible to put the suffering in parentheses. It is also worth mentioning the importance of memory for the construction of a lyric that seeks in the open paths of memories the reconstruction of an old time that is resignified in the struggle of the individual against the devastating action of time. The dialogue with the critic allowed a valuation of Chico's work from a perspective that had not been observed before. In the insole itinerary, it was observed the relationship of Chico's poetry with other fields of culture, such as, for example, philosophy, sociology and history. In the end, we sought to indicate the fundamental attitude of the poet that emanates from his relationship with his time and his way of looking for ways to resist the arbitrary and inexorable flow of time.
