O sertanejo: caminhos e (des) caminhos da libertação

Abstract

Throughout the twentieth century, several changes occurred in the Brazilian geopolitical and cultural scene, especially in the northeast, where the flow of migrants to southeastern Brazil (SP, MG, RJ) has caused major changes in the point of view of cultural identity : life in the northeast, field worker (also called "Sertanejo"). The identification of this process is evident in the background work of the singer and composer Luiz Gonzaga (1912 - 1989), who portrayed the many phases and faces of these transformations, characterizing the impacts suffered by backwoodsmen, from the point of view of their culture. This paper aims to analyze through the background work of Luiz Gonzaga, the confrontation of the Sertanejo (in terms of culture and identity) with the new scenario in which it was included (involuntarily). We will analyze these thematic clippings through the category of Exteriority, brought by the Argentinean philosopher Enrique Dussel
