TURRI, Geovanna Santana de Souza; FARO, André  e  ARAUJO, Marley Rosana Melo de. Adaptation and adversity in daily life of hinterland workers at Luiz Gonzaga's songs. Estud. psicol. (Natal) [online]. 2018, vol.23, n.1, pp.22-32. ISSN 1413-294X.  https://doi.org/10.22491/1678-4669.20180004.

Luiz Gonzaga sang the life's history of those who leave his lands looking for a better work in order to try reducing their life's precarity. This research aimed to investigate characteristics of Brazilian hinterlands living reality, their relationships with work, and adaptive mechanisms from Luiz Gonzaga's songs. The textual corpus was composed of 36 songs and the song lyrics were fully transcribed and analyzed through IRAMUTEQ software. It was generated four lexical classes: Characterization of hinterlands man's work; Migrations; Desire to return, and God's protection. We observed that Luiz Gonzaga sang about those people and strategies that they develop facing adversities to achieve a positive level of adaptation. At the end, we concluded that knowing this artist and his song's help to understand representations of that social context, which also include memories and other elements that ease to know ordinary experiences related to the hinterlands man's life.
