A música Bzrp music sessions #53 e as possibilidades de identificação feminina

Abstract

The song “BZRP Music Sessions #53”, by Shakira, was an international hit because its lyrics contain accounts of a marital break-up due to betrayal. Through her lyrics, the singer ended up generating a place of identification for ordinary women who have experienced betrayal, making them feel represented, so much so that many of them associated the song with female empowerment. In view of this, this research aims to understand what position women take in relation to the song “BZRP Music Sessions #53”. To answer this goal, we used the methodology of Discourse Analysis, articulated by Michel Pêcheux, based on the notion of subject-position to analyze clippings from the Facebook profile of Shakira's fan club in Brazil, selecting posts whose content was “BZRP Music Sessions #53”. By analyzing the clippings, we observe that there are three main ways of identifying with the song: there are those who fully identify with the lyrics, those who disagree with the singer's exposition, and those who find "new" meanings in the lyrics. We can see in this work how important communication through music is, as it reaches a large percentage of people in a short amount of time, and also has the power to bring representation to women who have experienced betrayal in their relationships.
