O Rita Lee's leading role in the subversion of romantic love
Abstract
Rita Lee's songs contributed to feed the national rock imaginary in themes such as the celebration of freedom, rebellion and the profane. In addition to bringing these themes, his work contributed to adding an original element: the eroticization of romantic love. From the analysis of some of her main hits, we approach the role of the artist in the subversion of the love songs that predominated in Brazilian pop-rock.
