Representações do luto na literatura e na música: um estudo comparativo entre "É sempre a hora da nossa morte, amém" e "Pedaço de mim"

Abstract

This article proposes a comparative analysis between the literary works  “É sempre a hora da nossa morte, amém”, by Mariana Salomão Carrara, and “Pedaço de mim” by Chico Buarque, focusing on the representation of mourning. The guiding hypothesis of this research is that, despite their different languages, literature and music can express mourning comprehensively and symbolically. The works were chosen due to the remarkable poetic intensity in both when addressing the central theme. The main objective of this article is to understand how mourning is represented in these two artistic expressions and whether these representations are similar. The methodology used will be qualitative, with a comparative approach between the different works analyzed. To support the research, some theorists will be highlighted, such as Freud (1917); Kubler-Ross (1996); and Klein (1971).
