Articulando discurso com trabalho: reflexões bakhtinianas e vigotskianas da canção Construção

Abstract

This paper aimed to discuss the speech and work categories through the song “Construção” written by Chico Buarque, based on contributions of Bakhtin’s dialogical circle and the framework of the dialectical and historical materialist conception, represented here by psychology authors such as Vygotsky and Clot. The song analyzed is part of a socio-historical context of Brazilian reality characterized by the military dictatorship and the strong censorship. The song is emblematic of the critical aspects of author's compositions, configuring itself as a painful testimony of degrading relations between capital and labor. Contributions about the notion of subject, social as constitutive of a human being and senses were discussed in light of the cited references. The analysis of the song “Construção” has pointed interventional paths in the emergence of a critical discourse able to reverberate in living labor.
