À Tânia da Costa Garcia, com gratidão e amizade. AGRADECIMENTOS Agradeço o financiamento da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES), durante meus primeiros dez meses de pesquisa, e agradeço imensamente o financiamento da Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP), durante os últimos dois anos e nove meses, sem os quais este trabalho não seria possível. Minha gratidão e carinho à minha orientadora, Tânia da Costa Garcia, não cabem nestas palavras, mas deixo aqui o registro do meu reconhecimento à sua dedicação, paciência e sabedoria, neste longo caminho de nove anos que temos seguido juntas. Suas palavras me ensinaram mais do que sou capaz de agradecer e retribuir. Sigo feliz pela nossa amizade. Agradeço o apoio e recepção do editor executivo da revista Sing Out!, Mark Moss, bem como do editor geral, Matt Hengeveld, quando da minha estada em Bethlehem, Pensilvânia. Agradeço também ao arquivista do Smithsonian Folkways, Jeff Place, pelas várias indicações bibliográficas, documentos digitalizados e informações privilegiadas sobre a gravadora Folkways. Imprescindíveis, ainda, foram os documentos disponibilizados por Cecilia Peterson, funcionária do Smithsonian Institute, e o apoio dos funcionários da Biblioteca Pública de Nova Iorque, durante a pesquisa de campo nos Estados Unidos. À grata surpresa da amiga Adriana Angotti, uma brasileira/nova iorquina que contribuiu com dicas sobre a cidade e me levando para ouvir boa música em Nova Iorque. Minha eterna gratidão aos amigos Fabricio Trevisam e Helena Amália Papa, o casal mais solícito e gentil que tenho o prazer de conhecer; obrigada pelas discussões acadêmicas, pela companhia e estadia em muitos momentos preciosos ao longo dessa pesquisa de doutoramento. Agradeço aos colegas do grupo de pesquisa História e Música, alocado na UNESP/Franca, que muito contribuíram com discussões teóricas indispensáveis, bem como aos colegas do Laboratório de Estudos de História das Américas- LEHA, alocado na USP/ São Paulo, que me brindaram com críticas relevantes à pesquisa, quando de minhas apresentações em nossas reuniões de estudo. Os debates sobre as conexões entre História e Música realizados nos Simpósios de “História e Música Popular” da ANPUH também contribuíram ao amadurecimento da pesquisa; agradeço aos coordenadores e demais participantes pelas profícuas discussões. Agradeço aos colegas historiadores de Belém/PA, pelas ricas conversas sobre cultura popular, em especial a Tony Leão da Costa, por sempre me lembrar de que a música brasileira vai muito além do eixo Rio- São Paulo e que nós, historiadores, devemos estender ao máximo nossos conhecimentos teóricos à nossa prática social. Aos professores que aceitaram o convite para integrar minha Banca de Qualificação e que muito contribuíram com suas críticas e sugestões: Profº Dr. José Adriano Fenerick, docente da UNESP/Franca, e Profª Dra. Mary Anne Junqueira, docente da USP/ São Paulo, sempre generosa, disponibilizando informações importantes para essa pesquisa. Agradeço, também, aos professores que aceitaram o convite para comporem minha Banca de Defesa da Tese: Profº Dr. José Adriano Fenerick, Profª Dra. Mary Anne Junqueira, Profª Dra. Cecília da Silva Azevedo e Profº Dr. Silvano Fernandes Baia. À Cáttia Adrianna Nascimento Brito Lourenço, professora de inglês que muito me ajudou a compreender melhor a documentação utilizada nessa pesquisa. Agradeço à pianista Mara Rúbia Canoletto Rodrigues, minha eterna professora, que me ensinou que, antes de qualquer pedaço de papel, música é som, e deve ser ouvida, antes de ser objeto de reflexão. Aos amigos Bruna Campos Gonçalves, Carolina Damasceno Ramos, Juliana de Melo e Silva, Samyr Abraão Moisés e Cristina Kian pelo apoio, constante incentivo e valorização do meu trabalho. Ao casal Lucinda e Welington, amigos extraordinários, pessoas inteligentes e bonitas, do tipo que sempre soma. Obrigada pelo apoio nas correrias da vida. Um agradecimento especial à Natália Ayo Schmiedecke, exímia pesquisadora e amiga com quem compartilhei longas horas de conversas e excelentes trocas de experiência, historiadora que admiro e que, muitas vezes sem saber, muito contribuiu nos aspectos bons desse trabalho. Ao meu amado companheiro, sempre paciente e amoroso, que me apoia e valoriza meu trabalho, ouve meus devaneios e me incentiva a continuar na vida acadêmica, entendendo suas particularidades: Jefferson Tavares de Araújo. Minha eterna gratidão e amor à Solange Dias de Almeida e Onofra Maria de Oliveira Arantes, minhas mãezinhas que muito me apoiam e se orgulham da minha vida acadêmica, me inspirando a ser melhor a cada dia. E agradeço, ternamente, à minha família, meu esteio: meu pai, Ladislau Arantes, meus irmãos Gisele, Odirley, Tatiana, Gabriela e Lígia, meu cunhado Everton e meus amados sobrinhos: Beatriz, Maria Eduarda, Carlos Eduardo, Taiany, Julio Cesar, Rafaela, Pedro e Miguel, motivo de querer uma educação melhor para este país. “The music doesn’t change governments.

Tese (Doutorado) – Faculdade de Ciências Humanas e Sociais, Universidade Estadual Paulista “Júlio de Mesquita Filho”, Franca, 2014. RESUMO A presente pesquisa analisa as relações entre a música e a política nos Estados Unidos, especificamente a atuação de um grupo de compositores e intérpretes ligados ao repertório folk que se engajaram nas lutas pelos direitos civis de minorias nacionais. Nosso recorte temporal abarca o período pós-Segunda Grande Guerra, entre 1945 e 1960, no qual ocorreu a emergência do país como a nação hegemônica entre os países do Ocidente, seguida da veiculação de um discurso democrático, que encontrava seu limite em uma sociedade segregada e desigual. Deste modo, as lutas pelos direitos civis, antes balizadas em ações legais, como os processos nas cortes judiciais, foram direcionadas a espaços públicos e amplos, como as ruas e praças ao redor do país, e tiveram o apoio de distintos grupos sociais, inclusive de músicos ligados ao repertório folk. Devido a escassa bibliografia sobre a música folk estadunidense no Brasil, nosso primeiro capítulo aborda as relações entre música folk e o contexto histórico dos Estados Unidos ao longo do século XX, mostrando como este repertório tornou-se um objeto controverso de estudo da cultura nacional, quais foram os gêneros estabelecidos como música folk e seu processo de difusão das áreas rurais para as cidades, bem como sua inserção no mercado musical. No segundo capítulo nos detemos na produção da principal referência na atividade de gravação de material folclórico no país, a gravadora Folkways, elencando os sujeitos inseridos no processo de produção dos discos e os discursos propagados por meio de tais produções. Neste sentido, acreditamos ser imprescindível compreender seu período histórico de atuação e papel no mercado musical nacional. Ao adotarmos como documentação para a pesquisa duas revistas musicais publicadas nos Estados Unidos, People’s Song e Sing Out!, faz-se imperativo analisar os grupos sociais envolvidos na criação e desenvolvimento das revistas, suas características físicas, formas de circulação, conteúdo, ou seja, analisar suas dimensões textuais e para textuais - e este é o objetivo do terceiro capítulo, que inicia com a análise do momento de criação das duas publicações, das pessoas envolvidas e dos projetos estéticos e ideológicos adotados, seguida de um estudo das escolhas dos nomes das revistas, que remetem a uma discussão importante

  • “The Stories Behind the Songs”
    “The Stories Behind The Songs” John Henderson The Stories Behind The Songs A compilation of “inside stories” behind classic country hits and the artists associated with them John Debbie & John By John Henderson (Arrangement by Debbie Henderson) A fascinating and entertaining look at the life and recording efforts of some of country music’s most talented singers and songwriters 1 Author’s Note My background in country music started before I even reached grade school. I was four years old when my uncle, Jack Henderson, the program director of 50,000 watt KCUL-AM in Fort Worth/Dallas, came to visit my family in 1959. He brought me around one hundred and fifty 45 RPM records from his station (duplicate copies that they no longer needed) and a small record player that played only 45s (not albums). I played those records day and night, completely wore them out. From that point, I wanted to be a disc jockey. But instead of going for the usual “comedic” approach most DJs took, I tried to be more informative by dropping in tidbits of a song’s background, something that always fascinated me. Originally with my “Classic Country Music Stories” site on Facebook (which is still going strong), and now with this book, I can tell the whole story, something that time restraints on radio wouldn’t allow. I began deejaying as a career at the age of sixteen in 1971, most notably at Nashville’s WENO-AM and WKDA- AM, Lakeland, Florida’s WPCV-FM (past winner of the “Radio Station of the Year” award from the Country Music Association), and Springfield, Missouri’s KTTS AM & FM and KWTO-AM, but with syndication and automation which overwhelmed radio some twenty-five years ago, my final DJ position ended in 1992.

  • Review of the Year
    Review of the Year OTHER COUNTRIES Canada National Affairs A HE GENERAL ELECTION OF OCTOBER 1993, Canada's first since the failure of the Meech Lake and Charlottetown accords, resulted in a massive shift in electoral fortunes. The Progressive Conservatives, who had governed the country since 1984, were routed and reduced to a rump of only two seats in a House of Commons with 295 members. The big winners were the Liberal party, now led by Jean Chretien, a veteran of the Trudeau era with extensive cabinet experience, Preston Manning's Reform party, which came out of nowhere to capture over 50 seats in the West in a protest against conventional political practices, and Lucien Bouchard's Bloc Quebecois (BQ), which became the official opposition in its first election. The BQ, closely related to Quebec's provincial party, the Parti Quebecois (PQ), was launched by Bouchard and other disgruntled Conservatives after the Meech Lake failure. Its overriding objective is to achieve the independence of Quebec, the province where it obtained all 54 of its seats. The Reform party was plagued by a widely held impression that it provided a haven for racists and even anti-Semites. Party leader Manning made a speech to the Jewish Civil Rights Educational Foundation in January in an effort, at least his fifth, to dispel the image that his party was inhospitable to Jews.
