Abstract

This study aims to analyze how the war and its effects are represented in country music, looking for clues that identify ideological positions capable of translating the thinking of the rural man about the participation of the Pracinhas in the Second World War, in Italy. In this bias, this work intends to place our research as an analytical contribution, making the relationships between history, music and literature more transparent, by proposing a possible reading of two country songs (Pracinha and Selo de Sangue) that adopt the theme of the guerrilla context, portraying the performance of Brazilian soldiers in the Second World War in the armed conflicts that occurred between 1939 and 1945.
