Abstract

ANDRADE, Julia Pinheiro. Narrativas de nosso tempo: notas sobre a canção popular como experiência de formação. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2009, vol.25, n.01, pp.15-36. ISSN 0102-4698.

This work develops a reflection on recent figures of the Brazilian cultural modernity to remark the formative sense that the aesthetic experience can take in education. Specifically, it discusses the Brazilian song form and the specificities of songsters that elaborate an aesthetic experience from São Paulo City by exploring the song as a narrative form. The research depicts critical moments of the city development, and ponders on different aesthetic experiences as formative experiences especially significant for the young. The popular song is a hybrid form (music and literature) that allows a connection between individual experiences and a possibility of a collective communicative experience (of a generation), essential for the youngsters´ affirmative condition in the contemporary society. Thus, songs are considered as daily rites with the power to confirm or deny the subject in the tense and contradictory metropolitan culture as it decants (and praises) urban experience.

Keywords : Song; Brazilian Popular Music; Education; Aesthetic Experience; Modernity.
