"Mulher também trai": o discurso da traição em letras de músicas sertanejas

Abstract

Betrayal is seen differently by the subjects, what means that, depending on the discursive position that he occupies, this term can create effects of different meanings. The way of seeing infidelity is built based on the ideologies that guide the subjects' way of thinking and acting. The present research aims to analyze the ways that the discourse of betrayal operates in lyrics of sertanejo songs that were released in the period from 2015 to 2018. Then, based on the positions-subject man/woman who enunciate in the lyrics of the songs, reflect on the idea that betrayal involves aspects related to gender issues, being an event that can mean differently for the subjects, the gender relations are socially constructed and they materialize in everyday practices. In this context, music is a discursive practice, which leaves marks on the functioning of ideology by passing over the subjects that are built on it. The music materializes ideologies, contributes to the construct the representation of the subjects and presents, in a symbolical way, social positions for men and women. From the analysis of this materiality, it can be discussed the discourse of betrayal in society, reflecting on how the subject, inserted in certain discursive formations, produces meanings and is crossed by ideologies, through discourses that can be reproduced and/or silenced. This work is based on Discourse Analysis of Pêcheux, based on his theoretical postulates (2014a; 2014b; 2015) and Orlandi’s (2007; 2015). The basic assumptions of this theory are important for this study, among them it is highlighted: the notion of ideology, discursive and ideological formations and the imaginary formations that permeate the sayings about betrayal and the already-said that compose the interdiscourse. It was also used authors who address betrayal in their work, such as Goldenberg (1990, 2006, 2010), Pasini (2010) and Pittman (1994). From the selection of the corpus, it was observed the discursive sequences and it was applied the theoreticalmethodological device Discourse Analysis of Pêcheux. The analyzes indicate that the discourses about betrayal generate meanings about what it is to betray and be betrayed, focusing on ways of betrayal in relation to women and men. The discursive subjects are crossed by ideological formations and affiliated to diverse discursive formations. This happens because the imaginary formations that the subjects have of their place and of the place of their interlocutor directly interfere in the conditions of speech production and in the effects of meaning. Thus, the images that women and men have of the subjects they cheat and of themselves as traitors differ depending on the position they occupy and the discursive formation they are affiliated to. It was also observed that the notions of masculinity and femininity shape the subjects' practices and guide their actions, establishing, in certain way, a hierarchical relationship between men and women, a control of the bodies and a social construction of behaviors that can be accepted or not.
