STRANGENESS AND PROPOSALS FOR REFLECTION IN THE LYRICS DOMINGO NO PARQUE
Abstract
On this paper, the object of analysis is the lyrics Domingo no parque, written by Gilberto Gil, which presents a narrative marked by an interesting breaking on the expectations. In the lyrics the character Jos, although been presented on the beginning as a king of jokes realize, influenced by a strong impulse, a bigger and serious confusion: a double murderer where the victims are Juliana and Joo who is presented in the beginning as the king of confusion. Taking as a theoretical basis the greimasian semiotics, we will seek to make explicit the intradiscursive mechanisms which generate the meaning effect of strangeness obtained by the text. This way, we intend to show, investigating the veridictory modalities (which articulate /being/ and /appearing/) that the breaking of the expectations is connected to the unveiling of an illusion (/appearing/ /not being/). We intend to further demonstrate how the development of the passionate course of the subject Jos , of which certain steps are implied, is crucial to the effect that takes the reader/listener to an inevitable reflection about the essence and the appearance and, hence, / nature / versus / culture /.
