Esta dissertação conduz uma análise da obra do músico brasileiro Egberto Gismonti sob o prisma da interação entre elementos das tradições erudita e popular, concentrando-se em três de seus numerosos trabalhos: os LPs Água e Vinho, Dança das Cabeças e Cidade Coração. Para tanto, nos valemos da análise aural e da transcrição de trechos das obras examinadas. De modo a fundamentar nosso viés analítico, examinamos as concepções de Schoenberg, Adorno, Mário de Andrade e Canclini sobre música erudita, música popular e possibilidades de convívio de elementos, técnicas e procedimentos de ambos os campos em uma mesma obra. Nossa investigação, além de confirmar essa convivência como um elemento fundamental da poética de Gismonti, identificou e procurou tipificar a produção, a que nos referimos como semi-erudita , que se vale parcialmente de processos de escrita agregados em obra fundamentada na tradição popular. São ainda apresentados dados relativos à biografia e ao processo de consolidação estilística de Gismonti ao longo de seus primeiros trabalhos. / This essay presents an analysis on the work of the Brazilian musician Egberto Gismonti, from the perspective of interaction between elements of classical and popular traditions, focusing on 3 of his works: the LPs Água e Vinho, Dança das Cabeças and Cidade Coração. For this, we have used aural analysis and transcription of excerpts from the works examined. In order to support our analytical bias, we examined the views of Schoenberg, Adorno, Mário de Andrade and Canclini about classical music, popular music and possibilities of coexistence of elements, techniques and procedures of both fields in the same work. Our research not only confirms this coexistence as a fundamental element of the poetic of Gismonti, but also identifies and tries to typify the production, which we refer to as \"semi- classical\", which relies partly on writing processes aggregated in works based on the popular tradition. It also presents information related to biography and the stylistic consolidation process of Gismonti over his early works.

Analiso a constituição e o desenvolvimento das cenas do \"rock paulista\" e do \"rock carioca\" na década de 1980, no intento de compreender quais relações foram estabelecidas com suas metrópoles de origem, com os influxos estrangeiros e com a forte tradição da música popular brasileira construída entre os anos de 1930 e 1970. Objetivo também entender que ideia de \"rock brasileiro\" consagrou-se ao final do período, quais elementos foram incluídos e excluídos desta categoria. Assim, desvendam-se como as dinâmicas social, cultural e econômica de cada cidade imprimiram uma dicção própria às cenas; sonoridades e narrativas foram elaboradas e tensionadas com o contexto local, rendendo perspectivas e linguagens artísticas distintas. Com a inserção dos grupos na indústria fonográfica, concentrada no Rio de Janeiro, as linguagens artísticas desenvolvidas em cada cena não desapareceram, ao contrário, eles foram alçados em meio às disputas simbólicas entre os músicos, críticos e produtores musicais acerca do que seria produzir \"rock brasileiro\". / I analyze the formation and development of the scenes of the \"paulista rock\" and \"carioca rock\" in the 1980s, in an attempt to understand what relations were established with their home cities, with foreign inflows and the strong tradition of popular music Brazilian built between 1930 and 1970. I aim also understand that the idea of \"Brazilian rock\" was consecrated in the end of the period, which elements were included and excluded from this category. Thus is revealed as the social, cultural and economic dynamics of each city printed its own diction to the scenes; sonorities and narratives were created and tensioned with the local context, rendering perspectives and different artistic languages. With the inclusion of groups in the music industry, concentrated in Rio de Janeiro, the artistic languages developed in each scene did not disappear, on the contrary, they reached in the midst of symbolic disputes among musicians, critics and music producers about what would a \"Brazilian rock\".

Partindo das disputas intelectuais, simbólicas e materiais que enlaçam os dois gêneros musicais chancelados como identificadores da nação, o samba e o choro, analiso a constituição e a reprodução de um microcosmo artístico possuidor de parâmetros estéticos relativamente autônomos. Percorro um longo período histórico no intento de demonstrar que o adensamento de instituições voltadas ao abrigo da música popular enseja uma contrapartida, a do surgimento de engajados que tratam de separar as produções musicais populares entre as que consideram autênticas das inautênticas, grupamento a que denomino de inteligência da música popular. Coube estabelecer sob que condições, quando e por meio da ação de quais personagens conformouse este microcosmo, espaço que logrou direcionar as apreciações e investidas de todos inseridos na atividade musical popular urbana. / Starting from the intellectual, symbolic and material disputes that intertwine both muscial genres heralded as the Nations identifiers: samba and choro, I analyse the constitution and reproduction of an artistic microcosm possessor of relatively autonomous aesthetic parameters. Covering a long historical period with the intent of showing that the densification of institutions aimed at the sheltering of popular music ensues a counterpart, one of stemming the engaged parties whose efforts aim at dissociating the popular musical productions between the ones they regard as authentic from the inauthentic, a grouping which I denominate popular music intelligentsia. This implied establishing under which conditions, when and through the action of which actors such microcosm was yielded, a space that managed to direct the appreciations and investements of everyone inserted in the urban popular music activity.

It starts through the clinical observation of women considered to have hysterical neurosis with a tendency of sublimation, including a common feature, which is the ability to turn adversity into motivation for growth, for the fulfillment of wishes in the personal and professional fields. This instinctual satisfaction allows that their psyche does not succumb to a phobic or conversion symptoms and those they are socially recognized for their talent for cultural creation. Seeks to set this hysterical neurosis viewpoint, in the object of study chosen for this research work, which is the biography of Elis Regina, still one of the greatest singers in the country. The interpretations of the artist, who also explored the performing arts, yielded contributions to the role of women in the public and private sectors of the Brazilian society of the 1960s and 1970s. Elis lived a poor childhood and adolescence, but in adulthood, built a meteoric career of successes. Her life was marked by a stubborn desire to achieve your goals. The sublimatory condition which assumed allowed her to keep productive until the last days of her life, reaping the rewards of your artistic trajectory which built. This implies that their symptoms remained relegated to a secondary position / Nesta dissertação, desenvolve-se um estudo sobre a histeria e a feminilidade à luz da teoria psicanalítica freudiana. Parte-se da observação clínica de mulheres consideradas portadoras de neurose histérica com tendência à sublimação, entre as quais uma característica comum é a capacidade de transformarem adversidades em motivações para o crescimento, para a realização de desejos nos âmbitos pessoal e profissional. Essa satisfação, pulsional, permite que seus psiquismos não sucumbam a sintomas fóbicos ou conversivos e que elas sejam socialmente reconhecidas por seu talento para a criação cultural. Busca-se configurar esse quadro de neurose histérica no objeto de estudo eleito para este trabalho investigativo, qual seja a biografia de Elis Regina, até hoje uma das maiores cantoras do país. As interpretações da artista, que também se enveredou pelas artes cênicas, renderam contribuições para a atuação da mulher nos espaços público e privado da sociedade brasileira das décadas de 1960 e 1970. Elis viveu uma infância e uma adolescência pobres, mas, na idade adulta, construiu uma carreira meteórica de sucessos. Sua vida foi marcada pelo desejo obstinado de concretizar seus objetivos. A condição sublimatória que assumiu permitiu-lhe manter-se produtiva até os últimos dias de sua vida, colhendo os louros da trajetória artística que edificou. Isso implica que seus sintomas mantiveram-se relegados a uma posição secundária

Entre o final do século XIX e início do XX, a cena musical paulistana teve como um de seus protagonistas gêneros teatrais voltados a um público mais amplo e que tinham a música como elemento central. A crítica musical e teatral expressava o anseio de regenerar o gosto do público geral através do drama lírico e da música de concerto, entrando em conflito com esse teatro ligeiro, cujo principal objetivo era divertir, acima de qualquer pretensão artísticoliterária. Apesar de cada um desses gêneros musicados ter convenções e dinâmica de funcionamento próprias, a designação teatro de revista tornou-se referência - até hoje recorrente e serviu para nomear um conjunto bem maior de modalidades que inclui Operetas, Burletas, Mágicas, Vaudevilles, Zarzuelas, Fantasias e comédias musicadas. Ambiente importante na produção e divulgação da música no espaço urbano antes do aparecimento e consolidação dos meios de comunicação eletrônicos, o estudo do circuito de produção e difusão do teatro musicado contribui para a compreensão do panorama da música e da cultura popular na cidade de São Paulo / Between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, São Paulo music scene had as one of its protagonists theatrical genres aimed at a wider audience and had music as a central element. The musical and theatrical criticism expressed the desire to regenerate the taste of the general public through the lyrical genre and concert music, conflicting with this other kind of drama, whose main objective was to provide fun, above all artistic and literary pretension. Although each of these genres have conventions and dynamic of its own functioning, the term \"teatro de revista\" became a benchmark that currently remains - and served to appoint a much larger set of modalities including operettas, burletas, mágicas, vaudeville , zarzuelas, fantasias and comedies with music. Important in the production and dissemination of music in urban space before the emergence and consolidation of electronic media, setting the study of the production and dissemination of theater accompanied by music circuit contributes to the understanding of music and popular culture scenary in São Paulo

Perhaps no melody in the country music canon has been as widely recognized and borrowed from as that of the song “The Great Speckled Bird.” This significant song has become resonant and representative of both country music culture and religious culture of the Protestant South. Through this historiographical study, I have traced the influences that helped shape “The Great Speckled Bird” and in so doing have illustrated distinct movements that led to popularizing the non-secular song through commercial country music. The composer’s use of sentimentality, neo- traditionalism, and religious ideas made it appealing to a rural southern culture struggling with the social, racial, and economic changes of the early twentieth century. As I develop and explore the diverse influences that helped to shape “The Great Speckled Bird,” I will illustrate the interconnectedness of country music culture and the wider popular and religious cultures of the white Protestant South.

The mid-2000s saw a surge in the popularity of musical biopics: films such as Ray (2004) which tell the story of a star musician. While academic studies have addressed biopics treating classical and jazz composers, the popular musical biopic (encompassing blues, folk, pop, country, rap, and rock) is not only the least studied subtype of the musical biopic, but the most profitable and frequently made. I analyze four different aspects of the musical biopic that illustrate its significance: Chapter One addresses the musical biopic in the context of the post-studio era entertainment industry. I study A Hard Day's Night as a film which reconciles artistry with the commercial imperative of cross-promotion. Chapter Two surveys the increased presence of minority entertainers in post-studio era musical biopics, covering films featuring African American musicians, as well as films which pair a black mentor with a white musician or producer. Chapter Three examines the relationship between storytelling, particularly the portrayal of love relationships, and song performances. I find in that the post-studio era musical biopic often reconciles narrative structures inherited from the classical Hollywood musical with post-classical film styles. Chapter Four, a psychoanalytic study of the contemporary musical biopic, theorizes the genre's turn to the representation of flawed and scandalous subjects.

This is research on the New Orleans Brass Band tradition. How popular music has influenced the bands repertoire and the style of music has been transferred to other areas of the country resulting in the formation of hybrid bands. Madison, Wisconsin is an area with two popular brass bands that began by studying the New Orleans brass bands' culture and music. Those bands are Mama Digdown's Brass Band and Youngblood Brass Band. Mama Digdown's is a brass band that performs original music in the traditional styles and forms of New Orleans brass band. Youngblood Brass Band started because Mama Digdown's inspired them and began playing shows with Digdown's and eventually broke away to form their own band. They wanted to push the limits of the New Orleans brass band instrumentation by incorporating hip-hop, rap, jazz, 1980's pop music, rock, and heavy metal that is rolled up into an intense brass sound.

This dissertation explores representations of race and gender embodied by Clementina de Jesus (1901-1987), samba singer, and Carolina de Jesus (1915-1977), author of the autobiographical memoir Quarto de Despejo (1960). Both women were "discovered" by middle class intellectual men from outside of their communities. Once they achieved renown, they were promoted as symbols of Brazil's social reality by cultural mediators of a different class and race, representing the commonly gendered and racialized archetypes of the mãe preta and the discriminated favelada. Through analysis of literary, musical, journalistic, and photographic portrayals of both women, I explore the role of cultural mediation in the construction of Brazilian identity in the 1960s and 70s, a time of intense social debate over race, poverty, and national identity. Both women achieved recognition shortly before the military coup d'etat and subsequent dictatorship (1964-1985), a time when the Brazilian middle class was engaged in a constant search for the "roots" of national identity within popular cultural forms. The cultural mediators examined in this project formed bridges between creators and audiences from radically different backgrounds, smoothing the transition between groups and framing the cultural production of others in specific ways. By eventually acting as cultural mediators themselves, Carolina and Clementina prove that the process of cultural mediation is dynamic instead of static, shifting over time and relationships of power. This study demonstrates that both the process of cultural mediation and the quest for authenticity were inherently linked to relations of class, race, and gender, affirming instead of transcending the social divisions between groups in twentieth century Brazil. / acase@tulane.edu
