Abstract

In Alice Williams, song by Mundo Livre S/A, we identify clearly the search for movements in the representation of the body in brazilian music of the 1990’s. The body represented as an object acts in an interchangeable game with its reference, that is, with an object treated sensually. We dedicate here, based on the sensual history of Pagode and its origins, to studying the toxic and identity relationships that permeate the eroticization of the female body in the song. Our pespective will be dialogical, with a critical and theoretical approach, in which we will seek support in Bakhtin (2010), Bosi (1977), Candido and Tatit (1997), mainly, to analyze and identify the poetic-musical mechanisms that frame Zero Quatro's and Tony’s project, considering it as .part of a brazilian musical system In the historical sphere, we will search in Lopes (2003), Sodré (1998), Trotta (2006) and others for the intricacies of the historical construction of the pagodes of Rio e Bahia, based on Samba. This theoretical contribution is the basis of our text, although we bring yet Paz (2003) and Paes (2008) to work the musically poetized image.
