Abstract

Studies about the Brazilian rock and roll in the 1980’s have been attracting
attention in the academic context. Several researchers, mostly influenced by
the perspectives of cultural studies, intend to interpret this historical moment
by investigating the attitude of rock and roll artists towards a world in constant
transformations. Due to a variety of thematic possibilities, the forms that rock
and roll groups approached the subject of this work were given attention. Indeed,
it was chosen five songs from different artists and groups, thereby aiming to
confront the central theme of this proposal.
