O discurso do Movimento Música Popular Maranhense (MPM) da década de 70

Abstract

The maranhense musical history is strongly marked by the influence of the indian, african and Portuguese cultures. Its compositions portray the influences of the rithmical and richness historical of the popular culture of the traditional music. This paper intends to analyse songs produced in Maranhão in the decade of 1970, while discoursive practice, having as basis the orientation given by Dominique Manigueneau for the Analysis of the French discourse. It is presented some categories as a discoursive practice, position, generical, linguistic, cenographical and ethic investments, also intertextual and interdiscoursive relations focused by Manigueneau. It is based yet upon the studies done by Costa (2001) about the literomusical Brazilian discourse and upon the orientations by Stuart Hill (2002) for the concepts of identify and culture. There after it was revisited the context of maranhense popular music and the incorporation of elements of the popular culture in the music produce by maranhense composers in the decade of 1970. It was sought, through linguistic-discoursive aspects, to analyse the maranhense popular music in the decade of 1970, while a position in the framework of the Brazilian Popular Music. The obtained results point out: the letters particularly present a hy brid language code, alternating between the well educated language and the popular one; the ethos represents an individual who exalts his land, his people and, even being far away from his origins, he hasn‘t forgotten their traditions and their culture. The enunciator resorts it and makes use of different discoursive frields like the religious, historical, discourse, in order to legitimate his own discourse; the analysed cenofraphis from the three alberns, which represent the MPM, reveal the cultural and social traces of the maranhense people, his history, his eagernesse and daily problems so contributing in that way to form, within the gender song, a position (identify) from the linguistic and social processes which reflect the culture of the maranhense people.
