DOS CANCIONES IRREVERENTES, DE JOSÉ ALBERTO KAPLAN

UNA PROPOSTA DE ANÁLISIS A LA LUZ DE LA TEORÍA DIALÓGICA DEL LENGUAJE

Resumen

This study aims to broaden the interpretive perspectives on Duas canções irreverentes (Two Irreverent Songs) by José Alberto Kaplan (Rosario, Argentina, 1935 – João Pessoa, Brazil, 2009), by analyzing these compositions through the lens of the Dialogical Theory of Language (DTL), drawing on the theoretical foundations of the Bakhtin Circle. Using a qualitative approach, the research examines musical, textual, and discursive aspects, correlating them to construct possible meanings that may, more broadly, enhance the perception of readers, listeners, and performer, both singers and pianists. The text is organized into two sections. The first establishes the theoretical framework of the analysis; the second applies these principles to the interpretive process of the poetic-musical-discursive structure of both works. The findings suggest that José Alberto Kaplan was a composer deeply committed to the social, political, and cultural issues of his time and that, inspired by Bertolt Brecht, he regarded art as an instrument of reflection and transformation, conceiving the act of composing as an ethical and responsible practice. In the year Kaplan would have turned ninety, this study pays tribute to his legacy, reaffirming his enduring relevance as both an artist and a thinker.
