Resumo: | From March to October 1967, while trying to make his name in journalism and popular music, Torquato Neto, a poet and lyricist from Piauí, published a column of musical criticism, ¿Música Popular,¿ in the literary supplement of the Rio daily Jornal dos Sports, together with such other columnists as Mister Eco, Fernando Lobo and Isabel Câmara. These texts are of fundamental importance for an understanding of Torquato¿s role in the period of ¿Tropicalist formation¿ in 1967 and its implications for the dynamics of the Tropicalist musical movement, for he was not only a journalist but also an active participant in the events he describes and discusses. This article presents to a wider public a largely neglected body of material with significant implications for the study of Tropicalism in particular and of Brazilian popular music in general, in order to propose new critical prospects for the study of Brazilian cultural production in the 60s and 70s and the different uses to which the memory of this production has been put. Over the last few decades, the existence of a revered canon, solidly erected by later generations, privileging Tropicalism and the major names of the movement in studies of the subject, has had the effect of discouraging researchers from seeking new relevant sources about the period in order to understand the event and the careers of its participants. With the purpose of deflecting the emphasis on issues, sources, and figures traditionally given pride of place in discussions of Tropicália, the article suggests new avenues of research and proposes a few hypotheses on Brazilian popular music of the 60s. |

The upbringing of a tropicalist: a brief study of the colum"of musical criticism of Torquato NetoA formação de um tropicalista: um breve estudo da coluna "Música Popular" de Torquato NetoFrom March to October 1967, while trying to make his name in journalism and popular music, Torquato Neto, a poet and lyricist from Piauí, published a column of musical criticism, ¿Música Popular,¿ in the literary supplement of the Rio daily Jornal dos Sports, together with such other columnists as Mister Eco, Fernando Lobo and Isabel Câmara. These texts are of fundamental importance for an understanding of Torquato¿s role in the period of ¿Tropicalist formation¿ in 1967 and its implications for the dynamics of the Tropicalist musical movement, for he was not only a journalist but also an active participant in the events he describes and discusses. This article presents to a wider public a largely neglected body of material with significant implications for the study of Tropicalism in particular and of Brazilian popular music in general, in order to propose new critical prospects for the study of Brazilian cultural production in the 60s and 70s and the different uses to which the memory of this production has been put. Over the last few decades, the existence of a revered canon, solidly erected by later generations, privileging Tropicalism and the major names of the movement in studies of the subject, has had the effect of discouraging researchers from seeking new relevant sources about the period in order to understand the event and the careers of its participants. With the purpose of deflecting the emphasis on issues, sources, and figures traditionally given pride of place in discussions of Tropicália, the article suggests new avenues of research and proposes a few hypotheses on Brazilian popular music of the 60s.Enquanto ainda era um jornalista tentando se firmar na imprensa e na música popular brasileira, o compositor e poeta piauiense Torquato Neto escreveu ao longo do ano de 1967 (entre março e outubro) a coluna de crítica musical intitulada ¿Música Popular¿ para o suplemento cultural do Jornal dos Sports, ao lado de colunistas como Mister Eco, Fernando Lobo e Isabel Câmara. As colunas são fontes fundamentais para entendermos o papel que ele desempenhou com sua ¿formação tropicalista¿ ao longo de 1967, e toda a conseqüência dessa trajetória para a dinâmica do movimento musical tropicalista, já que Torquato, além de jornalista, era também participante direto dos fatos por ele narrados ou discutidos. A intenção desse artigo é trazer a público uma fonte que poucas vezes foi estudada para a análise do tropicalismo em particular, e da música popular brasileira em geral, com o intuito crítico de propor novas perspectivas de análise e abordagem sobre o tema da produção cultural brasileira nos anos de 1960 e 70 e os diferentes usos de sua memória. Ao longo dos anos, a existência de um cânone bem erigido e cultivado por outras gerações através da presença marcante do Tropicalismo musical e de seus principais nomes nos trabalhos sobre o tema, acabou por inibir os pesquisadores na busca de novas fontes relevantes do período para se entender o evento e as trajetórias de seus participantes. No intuito de deslocar tais questões, fontes e personagens que sempre estiveram no centro desse debate, o artigo aponta outros caminhos de análise e algumas hipóteses sobre o tema da música popular brasileira nos anos de 1960.Editora FGV2002-05-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/reh/article/view/2171Revista Estudos Históricos; Vol. 2 No. 30 (2002): Art and History; 129-146Revista Estudos Históricos; v. 2 n. 30 (2002): Arte e História; 129-1462178-14940103-2186reponame:Estudos Históricos (Rio de Janeiro)instname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/reh/article/view/2171/1310Coelho, Fredericoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2017-06-14T21:00:08Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/2171Revistahttps://periodicos.fgv.br/rehONGhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/reh/oai||biblioteca.digital@fgv.br||eh@fgv.br2178-14940103-2186opendoar:2024-03-06T13:01:40.111463Estudos Históricos (Rio de Janeiro) - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)true |
