Várias variáveis: uma leitura semiótica em canções de A Revolta dos Dândis (1987), do Engenheiros do Hawaii

Abstract

This research aims centrally to analyze five songs by the band Engenheiros do Hawaii, present on the album A Revolta dos Dândis (1987), all composed by Humberto Gessinger. As specific objectives, we sought to conceptualize the song genre and the song-based term, as well as discuss the trajectory of the group and the composition of the work. To contemplate these objectives, the thesis of the semiotics of Luiz Tatit's song (2001, 2002, 2007), the main theoretical basis of the work. Other authors and studies that surround the science of the relevant signs in the construction of the research were: Greimas (2011), Hjelmslev (2003), Barros (2005), and Fiorin (2000), to understand the geractive path of meaning and other senses of semiotics; Piva (1990) and Oliveira (2002), to understand about the relationship between music and other artistic and cultural forms, just like the literature; Perrone (2008), Torres (2014) and Wisnik (1989) who, alongside Tatit and his semiotics focused on musical studies, supported the analysis of the songs in front of an arsenal of terminologies that help in this reading, considering the cultural elements that also attribute meanings to them. The work started from the hypothesis that the compositions of this work of the Engineers of Hawaii are engendered through constant compatibilizations between melody and lyrics. Under this fusion, the verbal and musical units, in symbiosis, reinforce the meanings proposed together, contemplating the main point of investigation of this bibliographic work, besides verifying the effectiveness of the method of reading the semiotics of the song.
