Beradêro: uma leitura da canção de Chico César sob o viés do imaginário

Abstract

In this article, the analysis of poetic imageries is conducted. It starts with the presupposition that reading is a non-passive process and that the reader takes part in the re-elaborative fruition process, adding his/her own experiences to the interpretation. In light of Gaston Bachelard’s precepts, it is inferred that the image, while a product of the soul, has its own existence that is modified by the reader’s action. In this way, the poetic act has nos past – the images modifies in each individual reading – and the literary work's sense is determined by the reader as much by the author. Based on this, the suggestion is for an interpretation of the song Beradêro, by Chico César from Paraíba state, parting from the map of the images and the reflection about the sense they assume. Through a possible reading, it is perceived how the lyric is full of symbolic resources that are able of reach the soul of the reader.
