Abstract

This dissertation presents a study on the female representation and the fragmentation of the subject in rock lyrics. Lyrics written by Rita Lee, Fernanda Takai and Pitty are analized as a partial study, authors that are diferent in cultural and historical contexts, but with in the rock genre make it possible, by their compositions, a world view of femininityies and postmodern fragmented and multifaceted subject from the perspective and experience of women. The study is, in a whole, in the same line of the cultural studies and has its theoretical basis grounded in discussions of representation, according to Roger Chartier; studies on identity in Post modernity of Stuart Hall and Zygmunt Bauman, and the gender studies of Joan Scott, Teresa de Lauretis and Margareth Rago. The Rock musics a musical genre and cultural movement of transgression and ruptures, of protest appeals and questions about sexuality, brand cultural and identity changes, but defines it self as a predominantly male artistic creation. In rock songs composed by women, chosen as the object of this study, the predominant themes are adressed: the questions on how to be and be in the world; the question of otherness and identity conflict; subjectivities of the postmodern subject; among others.
