Abstract: The article analyzes how death and marginality are represented in the songs "De frente pro crime" (1975) and "Tiro de misericórdia" (1977), by Aldir Blanc and João Bosco. The idea of social representation (MOSCOVICI, 1978), representations of death (KOVÁCS, 1992), outsider (BECKER, 2008) and urban violence (OLIVEN, 2010) were used as theoretical basis. Set in the period of the Brazilian civil-military dictatorship, these songs express the tensions between marginalized subjects and the authoritarian ideology attributed both to the military and civil society. The article supports the hypothesis that the composers reveal how this fact creates a mixture of relief and indifference in public opinion when addressing the murder of two alleged criminals, extending the condition of marginalization beyond death itself.
Keywords: marginality; death; song; representations; Aldir Blanc and João Bosco.
