ISSO TAMBÉM É TRADUÇÃO: ALGUNS RECORTES DO PERCURSO DA DUPLA SERTANEJA CHITÃOZINHO & XORORÓ

Abstract

This work includes partial results of research developed at the doctoral level, which aimed, in general, to understand the transformation of country music, focusing on the work of the duo Chitãozinho & Xororó (1970-current). In line with Total Translation (Torop, 2019), we understand that everything that happens in the dynamics of the functioning of texts results from translation processes and procedures, which allows us to think in terms of translation what the phonographic market calls cover, rereading , version, rewrite. In theoretical-methodological terms, we propose the articulation of some elements of Song Semiotics (Tatit, 2012) with Critical Discourse Analysis (Fairclough, 1995; 2003) in order to provide some refinement about how song texts are processed in a practice discursive with particular routines of production, distribution, consumption and interpretation in society in a dialectic relationship. Our clipping presents: a) Shambala (Moore, 1973) animated by Three Dog Night and its translations by Chitãozinho & Xororó (1989; 2019); and b) Caipira (Marques; Maracai, 1991) recorded by the duo in 1991 and translated with some changes in 2007. Despite the maintenance of the harmonic and melodic aspects that make the songs unique, one can note in both cases the emergence of distinct discursive ethe and not infrequently shaped by the interests of the Cultural Industry. We hope, therefore, to contribute to theoretical advances around Translation Studies in general and, specifically, those whose object is song texts.
