Jangada e Medroso de Amor de Alberto Nepomuceno: um foco em sentidos e significados sob o ângulo do dialogismo de Mikhail Bakhtin

Abstract

This article aimed to examine the life trajectory and works Medroso de Amor (1894) e A jangada (1920) by brazilian composer Alberto Nepomuceno (1864-1920). The analysis was based on elements of Mikhail Bakhtin’s (2003) Enunciative-Discurse Theory of Language, considering the intertwining of statements present in these trajectories and works, the intricate webs of relationships and times that they incorporated and consequently, the senses and meanings that permeate them. The analysis of the works revealed genres of discourse composed by a composer immersed in the profound transformations of the Brazilian scenario at the end of 19th century and beginning of the 20th century. A composer who made his performances and works his personal and institutional interests slide between different poles and needs, diverses forces and powers, republican, modernist and nationalist ideologies. His works continued to be received and updates by other composers and performers in other times and spaces, evidencing a dialogical situation as proposed by Bakhtin’s dialogism, that is, the interweavingt of new statements and meanings.
