Resumo: Let England Shake, PJ Harvey’s 2011 concept album, and the homonymous short films collection directed by Seamus Murphy in collaboration with the singer, consist of a very contemporary exampleof war narrative. The album’s lyrics focus centrally – but not exclusively – on the First World War, specially on the Galipoli Campaign, while Murphy’s film approaches mainly the recent conflicts in the Middle East. This article focuses on evidencing how the image of war in Let England Shake is aesthetically constructed both in song and in imagery, supported by the theories of war literature – especiallySamuel Hynes’s – and by debates on the (aesth) ethics of the representation of violence.

As letras do álbum se concentram principalmente – mas não exclusivamente – na Primeira Guerra Mundial, especialmente na campanha de Galipoli, enquanto o filme de Murphy aborda os recentes conflitos no Oriente Médio. Este artigo evidencia como a imagem da guerra em Let England Shake é esteticamente construída tanto em canção quanto em imagens, apoiado pelas teorias de literatura de guerra – especialmente de Samuel Hynes – e por debates acerca da (est)ética da representação da violência.Universidade Federal de Santa Maria2016-12-11info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttp://periodicos.ufsm.br/LA/article/view/2517410.5902/1679849X25174Literatura e Autoritarismo; n. 17 (2016): Dossiê "Literatura e Guerra: o impacto da Primeira Guerra Mundial na produção cultural"1679-849X1679-849Xreponame:Literatura e Autoritarismoinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM)instacron:UFSMenghttp://periodicos.ufsm.br/LA/article/view/25174/14528Copyright (c) 2016 Literatura e Autoritarismoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMachado, José Otaviano da Mata2023-05-24T02:55:33Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/25174Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsm.br/LA/indexPUBhttp://cascavel.ufsm.br/revistas/ojs-2.2.2/index.php/LA/oaigla@mail.ufsm.br||jlourique@pq.cnpq.br1679-849X1679-849Xopendoar:2023-05-24T02:55:33Literatura e Autoritarismo - Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM)false
