Resumo: This paper aims to analise the construction of the aesthetical discourse of Ozzy Osbourne, focusing on strategies used to compose the image of madman of heavy metal. Throughout the analisys of song lyrics, interviews, biographical episodes and promo pictures, it can be noticed in the formation of the image of this artist as a celebrity to be worshipped elements that belong to a human sphere. Among these, there´s the human/limited nature of men, alongside the spectre of insanity. However, it is noticeable that these same elements, although a proof of the “merely human” nature of the celebrity, feed the Cult of his personality, and become fundamental traits in the construction of his aesthetical/imagetic/identity discourse.

Através da análise de letras de canções, entrevistas, episódios biográficos e fotos promocionais, evidencia-se o emprego de elementos pertencentes ao plano terrestre/humano na formação da imagem do artista pública como uma celebridade a ser cultuada. Dentre estes, constam o caráter limitado/insciente do ser humano “comum”, bem como o espectro da insanidade. Todavia, percebe-se que esses mesmos elementos, ainda que evidenciem um caráter “meramente mortal” da celebridade fomentam o culto à personalidade do artista, e se tornam traços fundamentais da construção de seu discurso estético/imagético/identitário.Universidade do Sul de Santa Catarina2013-07-22info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://portaldeperiodicos.animaeducacao.com.br/index.php/Critica_Cultural/article/view/156510.19177/rcc.v8e1201399-116Revista Crítica Cultural; v. 8 n. 1 (2013); 99-1161980-64931980-6493reponame:Crítica Cultural (Online)instname:Universidade do Sul de Santa Catarina (UNISUL)instacron:UNISULporhttps://portaldeperiodicos.animaeducacao.com.br/index.php/Critica_Cultural/article/view/1565/1187Senra, Flavio Pereirainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2016-09-30T20:32:10Zoai:portaldeperiodicos.animaeducacao.com.br:article/1565Revistahttps://portaldeperiodicos.animaeducacao.com.br/index.php/Critica_CulturalPRIhttps://portaldeperiodicos.animaeducacao.com.br/index.php/Critica_Cultural/oairamayana.lira@gmail.com1980-64931980-6493opendoar:2016-09-30T20:32:10Crítica Cultural (Online) - Universidade do Sul de Santa Catarina (UNISUL)false
