Análise das representações das mídias e das relações sociais de comunicação na música sertaneja do século XXI

Abstract

This study focuses on the analysis of media themes and communication practices in sertaneja music in the 21st century. It is understood that musical production can be seen as a documentary body for historiography, considering that songs form an important reference about the culture of their time and the visions, representations and attitudes of man towards the world, life and society (Moreira; Massarani, 2006). Thus, the work is based on the evolutionary trajectory of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in the world and in Brazil, from the perspective of Parry (2012) and Guerreiro (2018), in addition to the approach of Sena (2019) and Oliveira Rocha (2019) on the path of country music. In this regard, pertinent questions are raised about the nomenclature and classifications attributed to “new sertaneja music” (Requena, 2016), which includes various subgenres such as “sofrência”, “feminejo” and “queernejo”. For the analysis in question, 83 sertanejas songs were selected, mapped from 2002 to 2024, on the Spotify audio platform, whose lyrics address interpersonal communication mediated by technology. The exploration aimed to identify changes in the mode, tools and motivation for the use of the media. It was found that the reference to the media in the lyrics of sertanejas songs marks the time in which they were released, in addition to the themes, values and ways in which the subjects experience their social and affective relationships.
