Coração selvagem: a imagem arquetípica de Dioniso nas canções de Belchior

Abstract

This dissertation analyzes the songs of Belchior, a composer from Ceará, under the microscope of Carl Gustav Jung analytical psychology, with a focus on images thatevoke Dionysus, the Greek mythology god. The prime purpose is to analyze the Dionysian aspects in Belchior's work, evincing how the one presents itself and what is its relation to the contemporary culture. The amplification method was chosen as the analysis guidance, since the idea of deepening the images and symbols is in keeping with the Jungian literary criticism proposal. Belchior's work is marked by a young poetic persona, rebellious, collective, romantic, sensual and feminine, Dionysian traits that appear from the first album, Mote e Glosa (1974), to the last, Bahiuno (1993). If the artist is an aerial of his time and compensates for a collective attitude through his work, then Belchiore's drudgery unveils the tragic and the Dionysian in an era such that it was “forbidden to dream”.
