| Summary: | Music research has been developing and gaining new approaches from contributions from different fields of knowledge. The interdisciplinary perspective, therefore, has constituted itself as a promising alternative in the face of issues that emerge especially in the field of popular music, a privileged area for the investigation of structuring points in our society. In this work, in addition to highlighting the conceptions that forged the set of disciplines dedicated to the study of music (taken, in this sense, as an abstract instance), I also analyze two sambascomposed in the first half of the 20th century. The purpose of this analysis is precisely to revealthe social and “concrete” dimension of music research, pointing to the tensions, conflicts andcontradictions present in Brazilian culture. The meeting between the “Mulato Calado” and the “Delegado Chico Palha”, between the police and the killer, between a violent man (“heartless”)and the defender of his wife, allows not only to look at some structural aspects from the Braziliansociocultural framework, but also encourages reflection on new ways of launching thisperspective through music research. |
