SUJEITOS, IDENTIDADES E OUTRA(S) AMAZÔNIA(S) NAS LETRAS DAS CANÇÕES DE NILSON CHAVES

Abstract

The aim of this article is to discuss other views, values and knowledge about the Amazon, their peoples and identities from the song lyrics of the composer Nilson Chaves in order to link it to the narratives built historically about the amazonian territories. Also, we seek to discuss how these elements are present in the work of this songwriter who makes use of a language which allows us to approach these issues, shifting our views to a critical reflection over an Amazon nominated and narrated by the official history and hegemonic discourse anchored to Modernity. As part of the discussion here proposed, current themes from this author’s musical production like art, politics and the social imaginary with values and knowledge which eventually “assume” or “deny” the logic of a colonial discourse, a scientism and of a “universal knowledge”.
